New fabric for Paddy's leggie......






On Monday we had an appointment with the limb centre as they thought Paddy might need a whole new leg.  As she only recently had the one she has got adjusted, it turned out she didn't need a new one.  However as we had been to the fabric shop and chosen a selection of fabric and they didn't like to let her down they put a new skin on her leggie anyway, they are just so fabulous at the Limb Centre and will do anything for the kids!
As you can see from the pictures Paddy chose three fabrics, we did this because not all fabrics work on a leg.  Number one choice was the gold, followed by the stars and then the leopard skin.  Paddy had her news in her class on Monday before her appointment and took the fabrics in and the general consensus was to go for gold!  
They tested all three and all worked really well, the leopard skin looked fantastic I was really surprised, maybe next time!
The reason the leg looks more bronze than gold is the resin makes the fabric go darker, needless to say Paddy is thrilled with her leggie!

Hi Lizzie - Paddy's leggie is so cool! Thanks for always sharing such fun updates about your girls. I can't believe its almost been 1 year since Paddy's surgery. You all really inspire me for the future.
Thanks for your friendship,
