re: Your work is beautiful. I also "smocked" at one time..for my now 31 yr old daughter. I have a grand daughter but my dd said she wouldn't need any of the old fashioned stuff.. Sad face here. I also did bonnets, nightgowns, dresses and Christmas ornament. AND at one time I was making custom Bridal garters. Those were really fun.



Maybe future generations will want to wear them.

Wow! Are you sure your name isn't "Polly Flinders"? I use to buy that brand for my girls. You did beautiful work.

Those are stunning! And who knows, there may be girls down the road that will be able to wear them!

Truly heirloom quality work!

OMGsh! These are so beautiful! You need to have one of them framed in a sealed shadow box frame to keep in your sewing area. It's wonderful that your sister kept such care of them. They are a treasure!

oh my gosh! I have always loved smocking!
I never did any for my 3 dd's, bc I didn't know how back then.
These are such beautiful treasures and in such pristine condition.
You can tell they were and still are well loved.
What a precious picture of your niece wearing one.
This is such a beautiful story, it brings a tear. How gorgeous!
