Hubris

BEI Design · 2008-09-18T19:02:50+00:00

Yesterday I received an e-mail asking me if I would share the pattern for the Aboyne/Nationals Highland dance outfit I created a couple of years ago to make the outfit for my DGD's AG doll. Well, although I was flattered, I didn't know the name at all, and my searches in the sewing newsgroups didn't reveal any messages under her name. I wrote back asking who she is and how she located my site.She wrote back apologized for not introducing herself, explained that she had searched for a Highland/kilt 18" doll pattern and located an archive of my link to the site where I had put pictures of the doll costume and my DGD in her costume.Now the hubris part: I was of course very flattered that someone would think highly enough of my work to request a pattern in order to make a wonderful gift for a beloved child/grandchild.Then she went on to explain,...........that she wants to make a kilt/Highland outfit for................. her CAT! For a 4H costume class. :-}I sent her links to several 18" doll-pattern sites.Beverly, blushing madly at my hubris....
