It’s that time of year when I share something in memory of my mum Jenny because today, 7th February would have been her birthday.

The Sum of their Stories craft blog started as a way to share some of the enthusiasm for making things that I inherited from my mum and both my grandmas. They were all very talented makers and taught me all sorts of different crafts when I was younger so each year, on what would have been their birthday, I share something they made or inspired.

Last year I showed you some bits of a knitted dolls outfit my mum made for me back in the 1970’s. Today I’ve got another doll’s garment that mum knitted but this one was made in the 1990’s for our daughter.

As you can see I still have the pattern book too, which is full of lovely doll’s clothes.

So today I’m remembering my mum, Jenny, and the lovely things she knitted.
