In fact I have a terrible memory of my husband holding a baby to be fed by me while I tried hard not to be sick on them ! You made me giggle about the Dora undies look - some celebs would think that was actually classy. I am sure Anna will love her new dress when it is finished anyway.

So far not as severe as your family, but misery just the same. Her pediatrician warned us.<br /><br />With vintage patterns remember each generation (about 25 years) is taller than the previous ones and even long designs can be too short.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720417895754477477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-91886516543446818502013-02-11T08:31:55.464+11:002013-02-11T08:31:55.464+11:00Oh no!

No funny, I'm sure... I basically went and bailed my DD out week b/4 last with it... fed the kids and made school lunches for the next day.<br />Fortunately only 1-2 of the rest of the family got it... nothing like more work when your already feeling poorly! Feel better! <br />Tell Anna that Jean thinks she is a big girl if she is already picking out patterns for mom to sew! Weren't there any back length measurements? That's too bad... all that trouble. But jump back at it so it doesn't end up as a UFO!
