Best Embroidered Baby Clothes by Suzette

I love the way she piped the collar and then added lace edging!

Suzette made this sweet little baby dress using my Old Fashioned Baby Pattern Best Embroidered Baby Clothes.

This is View 3.

This pattern includes sized Infant to 6 months and 12 months, and the design as you see it on Suzettes dress.

And only requires 7/8 yds of fabric.

She made it just like the pattern except the hem finish.

Suzette added a hem to this dress....the pattern actually has lace or swiss edging finishing the hem.  It's fun the way you can change a pattern to suit yourself when you  sew.

I love Featherstitching so you will find it on many of my designs.

Suzettes Featherstitching is lovely!

Cottage Creations Fabric Store

P

This shop is in a French Acadian style house.

Cottage Creations is a cute little Fabric Shop in the country near Baton Rouge.

It is chock full of wonderful fabrics.

Beautiful  Quilt inspiration!

Fabrics arranged by color.

And a class room (also chock full of fabric!).

Pretty fabrics are everywhere.

They might be considered Quilting cottons by Quilters

But Smockers will think they are perfect fabrics for Smocked Dresses and Play clothes.

And fabrics arranged by groups.

Cute soft cottons.

This little dress is  my Best Embroidered Baby Clothes 1 pattern.

It appeared in an article in Sew Beautiful magazine.

It is made from Vintage fabric that is very like the Aunt Grace fabrics shown here.

I can see it made out of any of these sweet fabrics.

Suzette Sews Best Embroidered Baby Clothes 1

Suzette finished this Class Project.  

Kinda cute, I think!!

Thanks Suzette for letting me show off your little dress!

The class featured hand stitched Whip or Overhand Tucks (seen below the lace insertion) and machine stitched 1/8" tucks.

The Whip Tucks were even done on the hem in a curve and accented with Bullion Rosebuds.

When I reprinted the Best Embroidered Baby Clothes One pattern, I included the design in my pattern.  You can see in the illustration that I used a different sleeve, but the puff sleeve is also in the pattern.

Sweet and Old Fashioned!

Pink Saturday - Linen Baby Dress

This little dress was made by Theresa.

This sweet baby dress is made from wonderful Irish Linen.  The Lilly of the Valley Lace that embellishes it is a favorite of mine.  

The pattern calls for lace insertion to be stitched at the yoke on either side of the center front.  But Theresa used lace edging instead of insertion and I really like the way it looks.  

This pattern is Best Embroidered Baby Clothes 1.

The view that was used for the pink linen Dress is the one just above the slip.

And there are three cute Dresses, an Apron, a Slip and a Bonnet.  Plus embroidery designs! 

Pink Saturday with How Sweet The Sound!

My Stash Dress featured in Sew Beautiful

This is one of the three dresses featured in the last issue of Sew Beautiful Magazine.

I have never had such a great response to any other article I have done.

The patterns are momentarily in great demand!  It's so fun!!

Of the three, I call this my 'playful' dress.

I added fullness at the center front to give my dress a little extra cuteness.

And used the large Ric Rac to trim all around the dress.

I sandwiched the Ric Rac in between layers of the collar.

I wish I had a bolt of this fabric!! It is so cute.  It is only 36" wide so you know it's an old one.

More on this dress, next post.

I used my pattern "Best Embroidered Baby Clothes One".

White Wednesday- Pretty Sew Beautiful Dress

I love this little dress!!

Crisp and White with just a touch of color.

Baby Dress is made from the OFB pattern

"Best Embroidered Baby Clothes 1".

This dress is one of three in an article I wrote for the latest issue of Sew Beautiful Magazine.

The embroidery at the yoke is Featherstitching and Bullion Rosebuds.

The sleeves are made from one wide piece of Swiss Edging.  

I used luscious trim from Bear Threads!

I used a Swiss Batiste for the dress so it would match the trims.

Embroidered Roses are done in  Anchor Floss.  Pink - 48 and Green 1042.

I stitched Bullion Roses in the openwork area of the  Swiss Edging.

I love the little touches of color against the white.

Close up of the Swiss.  

I used a Swiss Insertions down the middle of the Dress and French lace on either side of it.  Then the  hem is finished with a matching Swiss Edging.  The pink entredeux is threaded in and out of the entredeux edges of the Swiss trim.  Next post I will show you how to do this.

 And it buttons all the way down the back.

Hope you like my little white dress.  It will look so sweet on a baby!

I plan to do a kit on my web site in the next day.

I am trailing along with Faded Charm  for a fun White Wednesday!
