Baby's Smocked Layette on Charlotte



Little Charlotte is wearing her Easter Dress!

I made it using my Baby's Smocked Layette Pattern.
I just can't get enough of that pattern!

I just  want to keep making them before she outgrows the pattern!

I made a Fancy Hem with embroidered Bullion Flowers along the front .


I like to use the baby Maline Beading as a lace, with no ribbon threaded through.
It is sweet and delicate.

With Gathered Lace edging to finish the Fancy Hem

The fancy entredeux is a favorite of mine for neck (and sleeve edges).
Just a bit of Smocking looks best on this baby dress.

A pretty Bullion Flower on the sleeve too.

I just love this pattern.  

It fits like a dream because of the raglan style. Easy to make with only a bit of Smocking at the front.
And it is gorgeous on the baby.

You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Psalm 3.3

Happy Sewing,
