White Wednesday Featuring French Acadian Christening Gown

Pretty hand hemstitching on the yoke.

French Acadian Christening Gown made by Susie!

I am participating in "White Wednesday" with Faded Charm Cottage!

French Acadian Christening Gown.

Susie sent me pictures of this gown she made. She took the French Hand Sewing class I taught at a SAGA convention and this gown was the project. Didn't she do a fabulous job? It's a wonderful picture too, with the back lighting.

Susie's Embroidery is so prettyl!

Notice all the Featherstitching!! And most of it is the Antique Featherstitch. Ooo Laa Laa!! I love it!!
