Josephine
I miss Elizabeth who used to live in our garden cottage and was my shwe shwe sewing buddy. Now that she has retired and gone home i no longer have someone I can run out and share some sewing with.
In her place , her daughter Josephina has come to live in our garden. ( we weren't asked as much as told that this would be the arrangement) , but we are very happy with the new status quo.
Last weekend Jospehine came out of her house wearing a lovely red shwe shwe skirt. Josephina has not inherited her mothers love of sewing, but is wearing one of her mom's early creations.
In the last few months that Elizabeth was here, we discussed many sewing techiniques and played around with braiding and finishes , and I sent elizabeth home with several packs of ric rac, and binding and shwe shwe to keep her busy at home.
As an early creation of Elizabeth's, Jospehine's skirt is a plain wrap around skirt with some red bias binding trim.
