Baby Charlotte is my precious Great Granddaughter!
She is the happiest Baby I have ever seen.
Charlotte is 10 Months old in this photo.
She is wearing a Smocked Dress I made for her, using my pattern "Baby's Smocked Layette"
I made the Large size - (to 20 lbs)
I adjusted the pattern to add a regular hem that can be turned under.
I did this by simply adding 3" to the bottom of the Front and Back of the pattern. I curved the lower edge to reflect the original pattern.
I used the Bias Binding option in View 1.
Then I gently gathered Lace Edging and whipped it under the Binding.
I also stitched Bullion Roses around the hem, which is a sweet touch!
You know how sometimes a garment surpasses your cuteness expectations?
Well, I am in LOVE with this little Blue dress on Charlotte!
The fabric is easy care poly/cotton Blue Microcheck. The French Lace Edging is the perfect baby size and the Pink Smocking/Embroidery really stands out on the Blue.
I have put together a kit in my Web Shop if you are interested. It has the same easy care fabric for the Dress, the same Baby Lace and Pearl Buttons and also includes a cotton Lawn for the Slip.
(slips just NEED to be cotton!).

"By You I have been upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.
My praise shall
be continually of You."
Psalm 71:6
Happy Stitching, Jeannie
