(I have only managed 3 flowers and a sprig on the bottom so far.) I LOVE hand embroidery--as soon as I pick up a needle I can literally feel the endorphins flowing though my veins, lol.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781862751874731500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-56792120692838184932010-09-07T10:24:27.126-05:002010-09-07T10:24:27.126-05:00Since I got out order on mine and started my embro...Since I got out order on mine and started my embroidery back on Lesson Two I did the top and bottom both.

Canb' answer the question as have not done the embroidery. Hopefully I will be far better organised for the next one [any ideas on what it will be and when]. I have purchased a light to work by at night. Love the cake recipe - I presume that all purpose flour is plain flour?

You are right that the pattern instructions tell you the neck measurement is 12". This is large for most infants, so your neck will still fit a Newborn. If necessary, you can stitch the buttons closer to the edge of the back facing , which will give the baby more neck room.Jeannie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05622479618143731970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-994698588671183232010-09-04T20:15:58.065-05:002010-09-04T20:15:58.065-05:00Jeannie,

Mine is around 11" and when I reread lesson 5 and the instructions in the patter, I think it's supposed to be closer to 12".Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829590086466848303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-66675177106677213022010-09-04T13:47:23.177-05:002010-09-04T13:47:23.177-05:00I do enjoy embroidery.
