Perfect!!

She fits the poem or it fits her.

They knew more than I ever learned, but I do keep trying.

My grandmother, came for a visit, when my daughter was about 3 years old, I had troubles with a pattern that I wanted to make for Debra.

Granny looked at Debra, picked up the scissors, made a few cuts, sat down at my treadle sewing machine and in minutes, Debra had a dress...........

Not me, I still fuss with patterns.

That Graphic brings back so many memories.

My Grandmother could make almost anything without a pattern. She sewed and crocheted. She would see a picture of a crocheted item, get out a magnifying glass and proceed to crochet it for herself.

I wanted a special dress when I was in high school. My mother went to the store and examined the dress, then went home and modified an old pattern to make me that special dress. Need I say mine was better made?
