Theda, get sentimental all you like. I do it ALL THE TIME!! In fact, last night after they left, I sat down on the sofa, dumped it all out, and sorted through it. DH came to check on me a few minutes later, found me crying. I'd found the remnants of the fabric she'd used to make a Christmas jumper for her only granddaughter, Juniper, when she was 2. Juni was able to wear it for 3 Christmases, but we don't think it'll fit her this year (she'll be 5). This jumper matched one mom had made for herself. We have a pic of the two of them together in their matching jumpers.
