MY FRIEND DEBBIE ASKED ME IF I COULD MAKE A BURIAL GOWN FOR SOMEONE SHE KNOWS. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH.
THE BABY WEIGHTED 1 POUND AND 3 OUNCES. SHE WAS BORN LAST WEEK AND BECAME AN ANGEL BABY LATE YESTERDAY. THE MOTHER WAS ONLY 20 WEEKS ALONG. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CROCHET A BLANKET SO I SEWED THIS, IT HAS WHITE FLANNEL ON THE OTHER SIDE. I REWORKED THE BOTTOM OF THE GOWN AND I REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT. I GAVE DEBBIE SOME PURPLE ROSETTES TO GLUE ON SO SHE WILL HAVE A PART IN MAKING THIS FOR HER FRIEND. I PRAY FOR THE FAMILY I KNOW THIS IS A VERY HARD TIME FOR THEM.
I'VE ALSO DECIDED THAT I'M GOING TO KEEP A FEW WHITE GOWNS ON HAND, IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I CAN PUT RIBBON ON THE GOWN TO MATCH WHAT THE PARENTS WANT. I HAD SOME PINK GOWNS BUT NOTHING WITH PURPLE IN IT.
I ALSO HAD A PURPLE MEMORY BOX, TWO LITTLE DOLLS, A SMALL BOOK FOR THE MOTHER TO WRITE HER THOUGHTS ABOUT LILTH IN AND A PAIR OF BRACELETS (THAT AUNT JANELLE MADE) TO GIVE TO THE MOTHER.
Kathy, that is BEAUTIFUL! I love the colors and I know these parents will remember you forever for making this lovely outfit for their precious daughter.
