We seem to be kindred spirits. Many years ago - over forty to be more precise - I made a christening gown for my baby daughter. She was premature, and under five pounds, and I couldn't seem to find anything that would fit her. My mother suggested getting a doll's dress pattern and modifying it and I did, adding embroidery and special touches. I made a matching doll's bonnet as well. She was in her hospital for a month before she was allowed to come home, so this gave me something happy to concentrate on. Thirty years later she had her own baby daughter, but alas Emily's own gown was far too tiny, so my granddaughter wore another family heirloom. I also made my God-daughter's christening gown, but somehow nothing will ever be as special as that tiny set I made so many years ago.
