I,myself designed made this frock by hand(not using machine) for my daughter for vinayaka chavithi.For the first time i made a frock .My mother and her sisters all are professionals in stitching.May be because of that i also get some skills even i never touched a scissor for cutting cloth and stitching.My daughter is very much happy to wear this frock.She is very excited and told everybody that "mommy made it for me".
Her happiness has given me some more inspiration.:-)
