Hand made. Beautiful. Such a craft.

All those mass produced stuff where the cotton hasn't been lined up properly and they twist and don't sit nicely. I adore seeing my little nieces in hand made clothing. It's mostly easier for girls, I really mean that. Boys shirts and shorts with all the pockets etc are beyond me.

My mum knitted two beautiful jumpers for my boys. They are just stunning. It tears me up that the eldest is so badly irritated by the wool that he refuses point blank to wear his. I know how much work went into them.

I would have loved some more store bought clothes as a child. Mum made lots of basic clothes out of old curtains . Now I appreciate it more.
