When they were very young…….

……little did the firstborn (here shown modelling her 'Heidi dress') and the boy-in-the-attic (in rather fetching stretch velour shorts and an outgrown t-shirt that was probably cutting off the blood supply to his extremities) suspect that they would be shamed on the interwebs in the dim and distant future by a very bad Mam who was short of a blip after a frenetic session at Make, Do and Mend….two dresses converted into tops, a prototype headband for Jean (still needs some work) and a bag cut out, pinned and tacked for one of Jane's carers since you ask!
