Taking The Prize!!

This Old Fashioned Baby Gown Circa 1920 was handsewn by Martha of Southern Matriarch.

And she won a ribbon at the Fair!

I love to see the fine art of sewing gain recognition in the world at large.  

This prize winning Christening Gown was made using the Old Fashioned Baby  Baby Gowns pattern.

Martha used her own talented design ideas as she put them into this special Gown.

Baby Emma's Smocked Baby Dresses pattern is one of my all time favorites.

Martha's workmanship is amazing and the judges saw it !

Eva Marie is wearing the Circa 1920 Baby Gown.

And this is the Amazing Eva Marie - who was really the inspiration behind it all!!

The Stork

Last night the Stork came stalking,

And, Stork, beneath your wing

Lay, lapped in dreamless slumber,

The tiniest little thing!

From Babyland, out yonder

Beside a silver sea,

You brought a priceless treasure

As gift to mine and me!

White Wednesday -Sweet Baby Slip and SAGA class

Soft white fabric and fine Maline Lace edging!

This little Baby Slip is from my OFB pattern "Old Fashioned Baby Gowns".

I am teaching a class for the SAGA National convention this fall, called "Wonderful Petticoat Ideas for Babies and Toddlers".

The neck and armholes of this slip have been finished with the Shell Hem.

This 6 hour class will cover neck, armhole and hem finishes.

The front yoke has Featherstitching and Bullion Rosebuds!

In my class you will learn lots of wonderful ways to embellish your petticoat.

This little slip is made of Fairy Fabric!  Isn't it wonderful?   So much body when starched!
