Perhaps with all your lovely crafts, you help live out his dream little by little too. That was an interesting tidbit about your Dad! :) And it’s nice that you still learned about it anyhow.

I just love that pouch with the zip in the centre, too. Excellent. If you use a large safety or nappy pin in the end of your ribbon or cord, it makes it easier to thread through the space you've created for it, because you can feel it easily through the layers of fabric. All the colours you use are so gorgeou and cheerful. ;-) Hi Shai,

It just further proves my belief that each of us carries a piece of our ancestors with us. Your dad isn't completely gone - he lives on in you... in his children and grandchildren. I'm a spaz at sewing, but my little girl asked for a sling for her little doll. I couldn't let her down, so I crossed my fingers and made <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lifecandy/2416879768/" rel="nofollow">this</a> for her. It was actually fun, and she loved it! I love your creations! You're a natural, girlfriend! :) Thank you for sharing that story with us! It just further proves my belief that each of us carries a piece of our ancestors with us.

But the wounds will heal. They always do. Sewing must be great therapy too. :D They're beautiful Shai. I believe you got the gift.

I can tell that you loved him very much. I am sure that he is very proud of you. The pouches are great. Very cute designs and good job on the zippers. I have the hardest time with zippers. They drive me nuts! I really like the sewing journal idea and keeping a sample of all of the stitches available on your machine. I may have to try that myself! :) I love reading what you wrote about your dad. I can tell that you loved him very much. I am sure that he is very proud of you.

I can't believe it's 3 months since your dad died. It seems so long ago, yet it's gone so quickly.
