So, I noticed this and my brain went BRRRRRR
Molly's doll Lupi (pictured right from the episode Time's Orphan) wears a shirt very similar to Garak's shirt from his early appearances, with a vest overtop.
So uhhhh.... Garak makes doll clothes for Molly. That blue fuzzy vest the doll is wearing? Molly made it with his help. It's rough work, but a good first attempt.
It started when Keiko brought Molly in to the shop because she was going through a growth spurt. Keiko and Garak talk about plants, and Molly is fascinated by Garak and all the clothes in his shop and how he mends her favorites and lets out the hems.
Garak actually loves kids. All of a sudden he and Molly are friends. Keiko thinks it's wonderful, Miles thinks it's Not Good, Julian is amazed and delighted.
