"Baby Emma" in Yellow Print - Ironing a Sleeve



This would be the Classic Baby Emma.  Made from a cute cotton print.

Smocked with 3 strands of yellow floss.


With self piping along the yoke and collars.

But on to the sleeve ironing.
The old fashioned way.


You lay the sleeve down on the ironing board, hand creasing it around  the middle.
And press it.



Ta da!  It is cute and the sleeve stands right up.  

If you look at old photographs of little girls in dresses, you can see the same kind of creases on the sleeves.


A Rose of a dress!

And that's that!
