So the real problem here is watch your children and never have a fireplace without a screen in front for your own safety, your home's safety and your children's safety. I'm not sure why we have to have a negative reply to a joyful event.

those are darling! I love making nightgowns for my youngest grandaughter, and she loves wearing them. Like above, that was never an issue when my mom made clothes for me, or when I sewed for my daughter, but now it seems we have to be warned about so many dangers. We don/t have open fires of any kind in our house, so I don"t worry much about that. It does pay to be watchful though.

I think the the night gowns are beautiful. If we lived our lives by what all the researchers said then we might as well crawl in to a corner and stay there.

These gowns are precious. I keep telling myself I should make some for my grandaughter, now maybe I will. I have always loved these style gowns for little girls, but never see any in the stores that I like. Thanks for sharing.
