Day Two Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids

Embroidered Rosebuds and Featherstitching featured on our Bonnet.

We made a matching Bonnet for our sweet Daydress.  Many  lovely techniques included.  Tucks, Lace to Lace and Lace to Fabric (in a very cool manner) and pretty embroidery.

Ladies are examining our Class Project in the wonderful sun light pouring in the shop window.

And taking close up pictures!

More shopping on the second Day!

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids Shop has lots of Liberty of London Fabrics. 

There are also many  lesser priced Liberty Look a Likes. 

You can see my name on this bolt of fabric waiting to be cut!

I am using this fabric to make Baby's Smocked Layette dress. 

Baby's Smocked Layette 

It will be so cute in a sweet print!  I'll make the large (to 20 lbs.) size.

Here is the dress sleeve - completely finished by a student (Bettina).

It couldn't be any sweeter, just waiting for the pink ribbon threaded through the beading.

Baby Daydress by Suzette

Exquisite Embroidery, Lace, Fine Fabric....what more can you want from a Baby Daydress??

This Baby Daydress is View 3 from my Baby Daydresses - Revised  Pattern.  It is the new Daydress in the Revised pattern and is called Larsen Kate (named for the Granddaughter of the lady who shared her antique version with me).

Isn't it lovely?

The matching Baby Bonnet actually comes from my Baby Bonnets Two pattern.  It compliments the dress perfectly!

Hooray For Suzette! 

Who always makes a slip to match her Baby Dresses.  Do you notice the fine Featherstitching?  Even around the ruffle of the slip?

I love little touches like that!!

Teaching in Dothan Alabama - Baby Daydress

Baby Daydress is from the OFB pattern Old Fashioned Baby Daydress.

This is the pattern view of the little White Baby Daydress we will be making for the Sat. class when I am teaching for The Smock Shoppe.

This is one of the sweetest little dresses I've made!

We will stitch lace to fabric.

We will work hand stitched tucks. Not hard!

Don't you love the way the Featherstitching looks with the light behind the dress?

I love Featherstitching.

And Bullion Rosebuds

And the Old Fashioned Double  Featherstitch.

And the single Featherstitch.

Here is your chance to perfect your Featherstitching, as well as pick up some other skills!

Spend a fun day sewing with me as I show you all the wonderful techniques needed to make this lovely little Daydress for your special baby.  In class you will begin embellishing the dress front with lace, tucks, Bullion Rosebuds and the Old Fashioned Double Featherstitch.  You will also stitch the old fashioned Baby Placket using a neat finish that leaves no raw edges.  I  will also demonstrate how to stitch entredeux to fabric using the old fashioned method and how to stitch evenly gathered lace edging to entredeux, along with tips for finishing this dress at home.

On Featherstitching

"As a trimming in itself for collars, cuffs, blouses, aprons, children's garments, and lingerie, featherstitching has no rival"

Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences, copyright 1916

I agree!! 

 If there were only one Embroidery Stitch in the world ---please let it be the Featherstitch!

White Wednesday- Embroidered Baby DayDress

View 2 From OFB Baby Daydresses pattern.

I made this DayDress as a class sample for a guild I was teaching.  

There are many good techniques to learn here!

The dress is made from a nice white Linen.

I did not cut the fabric away from behind the lace.  The fabric is more stable this way and I like the way it looks.  Many of the flowers are Bullions.  I stitched two bullions side by side to create a petal.

My real Rose is Katy Road Pink from my Garden.

This dress has a fancy sleeve if you elect to make it.

Embellished with Lace and Bullion Roses.  Of course!

Full view of my dress.  I used a nice ivory lace.

To see this dress with the lace cut away.  Visit Dandelion Avenue. 

She did a very pretty dress in this same pattern.

Hem embroidery is not too daunting!  But it's pretty.

And more shaped lace to practice on.

The back has a placket.  With my signature Rose Bud!!

White Wednesday is where I feature pretty little white garments and link up with Faded Charm.  Visit Faded Charm to see more pretty white things!
