Did you read that book as a child? I did and loved it. I can even picture the cover. Just now when I Googled it I found that this book has never been out of print. I prefer this cover from the 60's as opposed to the one now.
I need to do one of these with gathered pockets. That would be sweet too. It is a sea mist green Imperial Batiste embroidered with Anchor floss. Very easy simple stitches, lazy daisies, running stitch and French knots.
Sweet simplicity. And can you go wrong with the pink and green combo. At first I thought the lime green floss would be too "aggh" but I liked it when I got it finished.
Enjoy and I hope you are stitching as well.
