Cute Baby at the Creative Needlework Market!

Little Claire with the Big Blue Eyes came to visit my booth!

Warnings to any sweet little baby who comes near enough for me to pop one of my garments on her! Just so I can admire the combination -  Cute Baby and Old Fashioned Baby Clothes!

She was happy to do it!

I love pictures of Mother and Child!

They are quite content in each others company.

Antique Christening Bonnet Class Sample

I wanted to show my completed sample for  SAGA French Handsewn Bonnet class I am teaching at National Convention.  I am well pleased!  It needs a gown to be complete.  What gown to make?

 

 

Antique Christening Bonnet Class

One of the classes I'm teaching for the National SAGA Convention this year is "Antique Christening Bonnet".  I've decided to make up the bonnet in the same materials I will be using in  the students kits for this year and I  couldn't help myself, I re-designed it!  Well, I drew up a new embroidery design, anyway.    I am now ready to cut out the pattern and begin stitching.  I can't wait...my fingers are itching to get going on it.

  Before I print out the pattern for the entire class, I want to see it finished to make sure I still love it as much as I did on my  design board.  I think I will, I like it even better than Bonnet #1. I will give my students both designs.   It's a pretty design and the antique lace is lovely.  The fabric is a soft ecru Swiss Batiste.

Lovely Antique Lace for Kits!
