My Mum will be celebrating her 92nd Birthday shortly and this is one of the cards that I have created for her. I have fond memories of her making dresses for both herself and me and my sister when we were young and she passed on her love of sewing to me - I make most of my own curtains and cushions, I don't however make dresses.
I used the fabulous Authentique Stitched collection, I love the pretty papers and vintage images, I also used my Tattered Lace Flower Forming Dies to create the flowers.
Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

This beautiful card Pauline. It reminds me of my Mum and my Nan both were sewers and made clothes, in my nan's case she made them for other people as well as family. My mum made my wedding dress for me almost 40 years ago now and although they have passed on there love of sewing to me, it's been a while since I made any clothing. I'm sure that it will bring back memories to your mum of when you were small and she was sewing clothes for you.

Hi Pauline

This brings back memories for me too with this lovely card. All the women in my life sewed, so I had to learn too. I remember my grandma sewing on her treadle machine. I love all the details on this card with the dress form and bobbin and thread.
What a gorgeous vintage image and papers! Your card is beautiful! I am sure your mother will love this card and it will bring back happy memories! I can remember my mother making some of my clothes when I was young and she had a sewing machine much like the one in your image. Wishing you a wonderful day, Pauline!
This is so wonderful Pauline.

OH! SO many memories in this card for me too Pauline. Your Mum is going to be carried back in time with this card, as I think you have done with us followers of yours. It is a gorgeous card in every way.
My memories of my Mum with her Singer treadle sewing machine, making my dresses and smocking them too. I used to practice with newspaper in the machine, loved it, until I could make my own dresses. I too have made my own furnishings over the years, I stopped making my own dresses, when I moved into our own house, MANY years ago, but furnishings carry on even now.
Take care and thanks for the memories.

A brilliant card for your mum Pauline. I love the image, my Nana taught me to sew on her Singer machine that was fitted to it's own table...loved it.
