"Homemade" means "Made With Love"
Today's Christmas memory is about some very special Christmas gifts. Mom made homemade clothing for my doll babies and my Barbie dolls. They were one-of-a-kind couture garments. Not designer knock-offs, but the real deal!
A couple of my flashbacks include:
-Mom used special bridal fabrics and laces to use for a Barbie doll wedding gown-a friend who worked for a bridal garment factory gave us the materials.
-Mom and Dad purchased a small suitcase in which to put all the "made with love" garments-I later used that same suitcase for special outings.
Thanks, Mom for dressing my special "friends" in designer fashions. I know miniature clothing is a trick to make-thanks for making them with love.
(Later blog entries will talk about my dolls and also about the clothes Mom sewed just for ME!)

Gosh, I had nearly totally forgotten about those Barbie clothes Mom used to make for you! They really were special gifts.
I did still have some of those patterns unless I gave them to you at some point in the last few years. My eyesight and arthritis wouldn't allow me to do such tiny things now. You know that I enjoyed making all those things and took pride in trying to make them look good.
