Posted in My projects

I tried to post my project pictures here to no avail. I'm giving up for now. Here are the links to the pictures in my yahoo photo album.

This is my nursing gown. I used an Elizabeth Lee pattern which I enlarged to fit. I hand embroidered the bodice. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/juditupp/detail?.dir=84b4&.dnm=d5c5.jpg&.src=ph

Here is the dress that I made for the baby. I used a romper pattern from Simplicity that I converted to a dress pattern. I made up my own design for the smocking. I used Martha Pullen's Joy of Smocking as a guide for the stitches. I had to add some detail to the skirt to make it long enough. I started it when I was still pregnant and finished it in February. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/juditupp/detail?.dir=84b4&.dnm=8d0a.jpg&.src=ph

Here are 2 pictures of the dress I made for my oldest at Christmas. I had to cut out the sleeves as the contrasting fabric was too scratchy for her. She refuses to wear it without a jacket, lol. I may purchase some different fabric and put in new sleeves for her. She looks just beautiful in it.

Here's the second one. This picture shows the handkerchief hem detail a little better.
