After 2 weeks in Burkina Faso (more on this later), my daughter is back. She is wearing the outfit the tailor made for her from fabric she had purchased. The tailor came to the house, took measurements and came back with the garments (and bags and other orders). She brought me back some wonderful fabric and also had a skirt and messenger bag made. She only spent about $45 for all that fabric and the tailoring.
She is holding the drum she bought for her sister, which was engraved with her sister's nickname, "Rain."
Good to have her home! (even though with flight delays and some lost luggage made it about 3 am when we got home!) PS: the luggage (with more goodies went to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida instead of Portland, Oregon. Go figure!

I am sure it was great to welcome her home. Looks like she had a wonderful time. Her sister will love her drum. And the purse - was the fabric purchased there too?
Yes, it is good to have her home, if only for a while. (off to college in a week and a half) The purse fabric was also purchased there, along with another skirt and plenty of yardage for me! Many of the gals had skirts or dresses made and almost everyone had a bag/purse made. Tailors making house calls... so hard for me to imagine!
