a special kind.

Posted on August 29, 2019 by beth

a little girl

who was once my student

and still a friend of mine

opened up a treasure chest

to show me

one piece of clothing after another

that she created all on her own

after teaching herself to sew

and I couldn’t be more proud.

This is a wonderful heartwarming post, Beth. I love her excitement in the photos. I used to make all my own clothes when I was young. I can easily understand how she felt being able to show someone who appreciated. (Although I don’t sew any more.) Hugs on the wing!
