Teaching for Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids Shop

I just returned from Mobile where I taught a class at the Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids Shop.

We worked on my Tucked Yoke Baby Dress.

The pattern we used was Revised Baby Daydress.  

This dress was designed for a class and is not in the pattern.  

I met a  delightful group of ladies/students who were very attentive and eager to learn the techniques I used on our dress.

The ladies were equally  eager to see  the treasures for sale at this large and well supplied Heirloom Sewing Shop.

Don't you love a cheerful, friendly person to help you?

And we made our selections with much care and lots of shop help.

Web shopping will never be as satisfying as laying your eyes and hands on fabric, lace, trims and everything else in a Brick and Motar store.

All the merchandise in this Heirloom Sewing Shop will take your breath away!

Hurry to….The Smock Shoppe Moving Out SALE!!

Mary and me.

The Smock Shoppe is closing it's Retail Doors.

And that means a BIG sale!!

And they are taking email and phone orders.

But hurry, it will be over this weekend!!

Linen fabric with hand worked Cutwork.

Mary acquired some wonderful pieces of hand embroidered fabric when a Dressmaking company went out of business.  The fabric was made large enough to cut sleeves and bodices as well as  hand embroidered hems. 

When I was teaching for Mary recently, she pulled out these treasures that she has for sale.

This piece is lovely.  I think it will make a gorgeous  Toddler Summer Dress.

There are pieces in different sizes.

Off White and white.

She has a kit to make this Pillowcase Dress.

And there are different fabric styles.

The Smock Shoppe email is: thesmockshoppe@hotmail.com

Better hurry because soon the sign will read…

I'm sure Mary will have fun sewing/teaching  plans for the future.

You will need to contact her to see!

Teaching a Baby Bonnet at PBJ Kids Shop

Our Sunday class at Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids was a Baby Bonnet.

  We spent a good part of the class embroidering Bullion Roses and Featherstitching - both the Regular  Featherstitching and the Antique Double Featherstitching.

Next, we mitered lace for the pretty Brim triangles.  

Then gathered the lace edging and attached it to the lace beading.

We were pretty busy!

 Baby Anna's Circa 1920 Antique Baby Bonnet.

It's a class I teach as well as a pattern I sell.

I had a good time with all the students and Anna Marie - owner of Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids.

Next….a look at her wonderful Fabric Store!
