That is just beautiful. Such a family treasure. I made my eldest daughters christening gown and all 3 of my children wore it. Fingers crossed for some grandkids to wear it too. xx

Thank you Shirlene - yes I was always doing something in handwork when I was in school, but this is my favourite - yes I have to take a photo of the back and put it here to show you the names.
