I was already mentally cataloging my bowls and different things! LOL

I prob won’t blanketstitch the edges—don’t think my hands/wrists would go for that any more. At one time I would have. :) Prob jsut do decorative trim with the machine. I’m the oldest of five and I married young. Baby sister was only 4 when I moved out. She’s the youngest and married late. My youngest is almost 19, and I’ve got a gbaby that’s almost 2. I haven’t sewed much for a baby in a while! LOL

Yeah, seersucker is great.

That will turn out pretty.

LOL, I learned to crochet doing a single crochet on the baby clothes, when I was expecting.

It still makes me smile, as when she was born, many of the gowns were all finished, except the ball of crochet thread was still attached to it........

No one could show me how to stop, crocheting was not done in my family.

I finally asked a neighbor, who said she didn’t know, but here is a crochet book, maybe it will tell you how to stop.

It didn’t, but it had a baby sweater, hat and booties pattern, and I started on it, had to finish it the morning after she was born.

Never did really learn how to stop and so tie it off and pray it is tied tight enough that it will not unravel.

And I crocheted for almost 50 years, lots of things and every thing that I could.

Today, I could not see or use my arms that long.
