Baby Shower - Six Days Away!!

Basic Gown shell is done.  It needs the Lace Hem, Sleeves (working on them), Neck finished.  

And embroidery.

I have been having the BEST time stitching this Baby Gown for my new Granddaughter due in November!!

I have been taking my sweet time enjoying every stitch.  Stop for tea.  Stop to read.  Stop for Friends. Stop for this.  Stop for that.

With the shower just six days away, I need to Stop my fiddle faddleing!!

Last night I attached the entredeux to the sleeve edge.

This morning I whipped the Maline Lace Baby Beading to the entredeux.

You can see I am stitching it by hand.  I usually do this by machine but two factors led me to hand  stitch  the straight lace beading.

1.  I dug through my special trims and found a bit of old (not vintage) entredeux which is amazingly lovely.  The holes are quite small,  making it more difficult to attach the lace perfectly by machine.

2.  The heading on the lace beading is narrow.  Now I had no problem attaching this same beading by machine to make the lace fancy band but decided because of the entredeux I would just whip it by hand.  

It was done in a jiffy.  

I couldn't have been much quicker by machine….honestly!

I can not wait to take this blue marking out and see how nice the hand stitched tucks and embroidery really are!!

There really isn't quite as much to do as it seams (I hope….I do tend to be unrealisticly optimistic)  and I will be ready by next Sunday Baby Shower.

My prayer for my Granddaughter….May the Lord keep this little one safe as she continues to grow and grow, waiting for her birth day.

"For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my

mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

Psalm 139:14
