This dress features lace applied to fabric, tiny seams, entredeux, tucks, an old fashioned baby placket and a lacy hem.
This sweet Baby Daydress is the garment chosen for my SAGA class "Construction of a Classic Baby Daydress."
Most of this class time will be spent sewing our dress using our machine, with fine hand techniques taught when they are needed for superior results.
I will be teaching this class at the National Smocking Arts Guild of America this fall in Orlando, FL.
Featherstitching, both the regular and the unique Antique Double Featherstitch will be a highlight for those who love embroidery. Along with sweet little pink Rosebuds.
When you learn to stitch the Antique Double Featherstitch , you will be stitching a bit of history. This tiny stitch adorns many, many vintage baby clothes in South Louisiana. Quite a few of them Christening Gowns.
I like to think of it as a pass along stitch.
You need to learn it and pass it along to someone else….so no one forgets how to do it!!
I'm serious, too!
Beautiful!
