Set from Old Fashioned Baby Layette pattern was featured in Sew Beautiful Magazine November/December 2008
Sew Beautiful has a BLOG! This Layette set is pictured there. They interviewed me and I am the Designer Feature! Please visit their Blog and leave a message so they know you were there. I think they have lots of fun ideas they plan to post.
Close up of the yoke on the Gown.
Love the Pink and Blue together! It's so Old Fashioned Baby!!
I used the tuck design from the Yoke and the embroidery as my inspiration for the sleeve. When I started the project for this article...I didn't know I was going to do that!
Hem of the Gown with the same Embroidery Style.
After I made the Gown I decided to make a matching slip. Vintage Baby Gowns can have a matching slip that rivals the beauty of the Gown.
my slip
Pretty lace insertion at the yoke and a lace frill at the neck.
Pretty hem of the slip.
I should have made the slip first! After making the Gown and Bonnet and starting the slip I was having more and better ideas!! I like the hem of the slip better than the hem of the Gown!!
Too Late! No time (or desire) to re-do the hem. Next time.
Matching Bonnet!
These are lovely and very inspirational. Congrats on the Sew Beautiful blog interview! It was great!

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just love this. I love the embroidery along the dress hem. Oh if my finger wasn't sore I could stitch. ::sigh::
ReplyDeleteOhh Jeannie, this is just sooooo beautiful! Blue is my all-time favorite and the details in your sewing is just beyond gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being featured on the SB Blog - loved getting to know you a little better!
I love this set... you need to make a matching hanger like Martha. It is so sweet. And pink and blue are wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, Jeannie. What an accomplishment - congrats!
