Londyn in Pink!

Today, Miss London is wearing my French Acadian Sundress made in pink.


It is the 9 Month size.

It is fashioned after the sundresses made in South Louisiana for so many years.

The originals were all made by hand but I used a sewing machine.
Except for the embroidery and finishing.

She is such a doll!

Here is the same dress in Blue.

My Class for It's Sew Heavenly

I have drafted a new pattern that will have it's debut at my class for 
It's Sew Heavenly.

In the picture above you see a basic draft that I made for determining fit.
But in this class Baby's French Acadian Sundress will be quite fancy!!

And of course there will be lovely embroidery involved (not shown)

The students are choosing between a soft mint/aqua Green, Blue or Pink.
All laces are a soft off white color.

I was inspired by  the Acadian Sundress that has been worn in South Louisiana by little girls for decades!  

Baby's Fancy  French Acadian Sundress has been fashioned after a style similar to those sold in the New Orleans Baby Shops and hand made by  Louisiana women all over the state in years gone by.  It's a sweet classic  that  was a summer staple in South Louisiana for generations..
