I now have this pattern printed and ready to go. Sorry for the wait.
French Handsewn Baby Gown Circa 1920 is available in my web shop.
Special technique on the hem, I named Snail Shirring. I did an article introducing it for Creative Needle in May/June, 1992.
Yoke embroidery.
This Gown was a reproduction (with a few design changes) from an antique gown. It was on this gown that I first saw the lovely Hem technique. It was made entirely by hand and I fell in love with it.
