When I got home from France, Alice made us matching dresses - we go way back with matching dresses - Grandma Stevens would give us dresses for our birthdays - so when Alice opened hers in April, I just had to guess what color mine would be in May!! I do wish I had some photos of those dresses - but they are vivid in my memory!
Speaking of sewing, Alice made my wedding dress! Takes a special sister to be willing to do that! I think she made most of the bridesmaid dresses too!
Many of our memories have to do with weddings - she used my mother-of-the-bride dress from Bonny's wedding for two of her girls' weddings!!
I'm pretty sure she made my skirt here too - she'd say, "You wash the dishes and I'll sew." And I thought it was a good deal!! When she went on her mission though, she gave me a pattern and some material - and told me I could sew! She did encourage me - and I've been sewing ever since!
Happy day to a wonderful sister and friend!! May the year ahead be the best ever!!
