I can't believe I couldn't see this before. After all, I love imperfect and worn-in things, why wouldn't I want what I make to acquire that status?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171205124450749463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653399301717513709.post-45272144969879023982013-03-22T11:28:16.951-07:002013-03-22T11:28:16.951-07:00Clothes well-worn (holes, stains, etc) by your gir...Clothes well-worn (holes, stains, etc) by your girl are clothes well-loved and evidence of a life lived fully. How is that? Also, don't feel guilty that she isn't clad in a fully mom-made wardrobe. A special (like the dress request) piece here and there is well remembered (I still remember how excited I was by a dress my mom made me for my 11th birthday, and I'm pretty sure my kindergarten photo has me in a mom-made dress).<br /><br />It is so hard to find the balance between treating hand-made things as too precious to use and well, whatever the opposite of that is.anotheryarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924336268700259079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653399301717513709.post-85190629476563233092013-03-21T14:06:56.352-07:002013-03-21T14:06:56.352-07:00Ohmygod, let her wear it all!

Stains can be soaked, holes can be mended, and if even if it does become too tattered, think of the stories each piece of clothing will tell when she looks at them later in life. There's nothing fun about clothes that are too precious. : )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303339037161037296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653399301717513709.post-75958829508657679742013-03-21T06:22:46.687-07:002013-03-21T06:22:46.687-07:00I suffer from the same agony - though it is also c...I suffer from the same agony - though it is also compounded by the fact that they grow out of things SO FAST! Perhaps this could be turned around, though. Tell yourself if she doesn't wear it, she'll just outgrow it - and then all your work will be for naught. :) Just make sure to take a photo the first time she wears it. Then if and whe it gets ruined/outgrown you have the photo to keep!Alexis Deisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972234613881166110noreply@blogger.com
