Night Gown for Lulu



My granddaughter and I like to read books. One of her favorite books, when she visits, is Grandma and Me by Karen Katz. We have read this book at least 50 times this year. It's an interactive book with flaps that lift up, and answer the questions on each page.

It talks about baking cookies, the picking flowers from the garden. All the things that Lulu and I do together. But on one page it asks , "What did you hide under my pillow, Grandma?" When you pull down the flap, there is a red nightgown.

Well, I just had to make Lulu the very same nightgown! So, I dusted off my sewing machine, bought the material, pattern, and studied the directions.


I finished it!

How could I not try my best to please this precious little girl?

I'm happy that I'm a grandmother.

I'm happy that Lulu loves to visit.

I'm happy that we play together.

I'm happy that I remembered how to sew!

  1. What a lucky little girl. Will this be a Christmas gift? I used to sew for my daughter and found such pleasure in it. Now I wait for grandchildren . . .
