MOnica, I always show her any patterns that I am thinking of buying so that she can give her opinion. So far, she has been more than happy to wear the leggings, jeans, sweatshirts and T-shirts that I have made, and also the "special occasion" dresses. What she said she wanted were some cotton tops, short fluttery sleeves and with maybe a peplum bottom to wear in the summer rather than plain T-shirts. Her description of a peplum, by the way, was "a sort of sticky-out bit at the bottom"! When I drew a simple sketch for her, she shouted "That's IT Nanny!!"
She's not into labels so far (nor are her close friends). She has her own little sewing machine here and uses it to make drawstring and envelope bags for various possessions. Her next project is going to be a pair of shorts as she was already growing out of those she wore last summer. Fingers crossed!
