Cute Bubble

Red Gingham piping and Redwork Embroidery.

Carol sent me this picture of the Bubble she made using my pattern "Sweet and Simple Bubbles and Bonnets".

She gave it a very cute nautical look!

Very Sweet!

Machine Stitched Shell Hem

This photo appeared in Sew Beautiful magazine.

(We miss you Sew Beautiful magazine!!)

To see the instructions for the Machine Stitched Shell Hem…..visit Martha Pullen Company.

The Bubble and Cap above is from my Old Fashioned Baby pattern "Sweet and Simple Bubbles and Bonnets"  The embroidery design is on page 23 of my "Jeannie B's Book of Heirloom Embroidery Designs and Stitches" (2 pages in my book have designs created just for Daygowns and as you can see…Bubbles too).   I have a materials kit available for the above Bubble.   You will need the pattern and embroidery design to copy it.

This trim can be made and then stitched just  as you would use piping.  

Very cute and easy!

White Wednesday - Baby Boy Bubble in Sew Beautiful

This little Old Fashioned Baby Bubble is featured in the latest issue of Sew Beautiful magazine.

I haven't seen the magazine yet but I know it's available.  

I can't wait to see it in print!

The Pattern is "Sweet & Simple Bubbles and Bonnets"

It is the first in a series of articles I am doing in 2011.  The column I'm writing is "Sewing Lessons with Jeannie Downs Baumeister" or something close to that.  I will know for sure when I see the magazine.

I am hoping the readers will like my column.

The article for the Jan. issue will feature the Machine Shell Hem when used as a trim. 

 I love it!  It adds a  interesting and unique finish for sleeves and collars.

And it is easy to do!

The Bonnet was finished with the same cute trim.

I used the embroidery design from my book "Jeannie B's Book of Heirloom Embroidery Designs and Stitches".

I used the same embroidery design on the Daygown in this post.

I like using the old fashioned buckles to fasten the chin strap.  I have had these for ages.  I need to get them up on my web site so others can enjoy them.

Will do it soon.

Please let me know how you like my new column.

This is my White Post for this week. I am joining  Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

Blue Sweet & Simple Romper

Cute little Boy Bubble is from  the pattern "Sweet & Simple Bubble's and Bonnets"

Classic Baby Boy!  Kit Available!

Sometimes, I like to sew the buttons on using a colored thread.

I trimmed the bubble with white baby tatting which I whipped on by hand. 

And for all those of you who have lamented to me that they can't work the Running Stitch as tiny or even as mine -- This close up will show you that mine really are never perfect.
