Fancy Snail Shirring Baby Bonnet

I am going to teach in St. Louis  and I have been busy preparing the classes.

I created a new class to teach and am quite pleased with it.  

It is a Fancy Snail Shirring Bonnet.

It is a full day class and combines fine machine sewing techniques with lovely hand sewing.  The best of both worlds.  Tucks, Lace, Embroidery and Snail Shirring.  

Stitching my favorite...Featherstitching.  

Both basic and Antique Double Featherstitching.

Plus a little Ribbon Rosette.

I totally enjoyed stitching this bonnet and am ready to make another one.  It was pure delight and just enough hand sewing for me to carry about with me.  But it worked up pretty quickly.

I think it will make a great class project.

This is a picture in progress that I have shown you before.

I thought the in progress pictures would make more sense to you now that you see my finished little bonnet.

Goin to St. Louie!

What's jeannie Doing??

Having fun sewing!

This is for my Slip Dress class.  Here you see me writing the class instructions as I stitch this second little dress.  How else will I know if the instructions work?

I love the Swiss Edging on the hem.

And the fabric!

This pink Pima Gingham is for my third little Slip Dress.

Bye, more later...

Pretty Blue Dress

Dress and photo by Cynthia.

This little Daydress was a class sample from a Sewing Class I taught.

Cynthia took this class and finished the Daydress (Yea Cynthia!!!)

For close up pictures of this dress - see her post on her California Stitching blog.

This embroidery and lace design is not in the pattern.  I designed it just for this class.  But there are pretty dresses in the pattern for you to make.  

The pattern we used  is Old Fashioned Baby Daydresses. 

Every Baby should have such a pretty dress!!

Three Finished Dresses!!

This lovely Gown is entirely handsewn! SAGA Class from 2009

Circa 1920 Baby Gown.  Pattern now available on my Web Site.

All at one time, I received pictures of three baby garments that Sharon had finished from classes she took from me

Embroidered Raglan Daygown. Very nice job!

Many of you will recognize this little daygown.  We made it with my Sew Along!

Sweet and Simple Daygown Collection.

But this Daygown takes the cake!  This was the class project from this years SAGA convention.  Sharon is the first one to finish I think.  First one I have heard of anyway!!

Go Sharon!!! 

Sharon will be the FIRST to receive her certificate for completing this two day class!!

For the other students who took this class....To get your certificate - I must have a picture sent to me by December 31, 2010!!

Get stitching!

I love to see finished class projects!
