Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoSo this has become the inspiration dress: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76420524903361892/ I ran up a muslin this weekend because I needed to draft sleeves so I could best make use of the eyelet border. Also, I lowered the neckline of my base pattern to match the inspiration dress. I just ordered silk charmeuse for the sash. I might line it…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoHey all, I just sewed my first entredeux and was SHOCKED at how easy it was! I’ll do a little tutorial for the Butterfly Dress sew-along. I was thinking I’d do a little pintucking tutorial, too, using a double needle and a pintucking foot. All these new (to me) techniques! Very fun, and so much simpler than I expected.
-
What? You are kidding right? They are so simple you are right but you know I thought the same when I first tried them. They are such pretty techniques. I am very glad there are tutorials coming about them all. But, I thought the butterfly was a top?
-
Ack, yes, the Butterfly Top! No idea why I said dress. In any case, I love these techniques.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoOh yes! I love that idea too! This child is going to have a lot of outfits! Ok so this might sounds crazy but bare with me for a moment. What if I used the puppet show top and the tea party sunsuit bottom and modified them to mash together. It would have the collar, a line to add piping to the bodice and I could embroider the bodice with little…[Read more]

It could work. Have you given it a go yet? I’m interested to see if it would work or not.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoYes I adore tartan in general also (maybe it is the Scottish roots?) on boys particularly. I think that if you swap the button/snaps to the back and add tucks from the shoulders down to about level with the bottom of the armhole and also add a piped peter pan collar you could have an heirloom version of a boy layette shirt. I also like to have…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI definitely agree with that. I love a tartan. That is so cute and both ideas are adorable! I will definitely be adding those to my sewing list for my future nephew! Look at how little they are!!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI would love powder blue linen with white, piped with navy.
My son (nearly 18) wore frilly tartan shirts with navy trousers, which is possibly dated now but I do think a check or a tartan ‘mans’ up a baby outfit.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI do have the puppet show, @motherof5! Yes I’ll definitely try that! The hide and seek would be adorable too! What color do you think? I’m so inexperienced at sewing for boys! Give me baby girl and I’m golden but I’m still learning to get my creative juices flowing for little boy things! Hopefully this nephew will help things along 😉

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI made up the Puppet Show in white hailspot muslin for my baby before I knew what it was.
I also think the Hide and Seek tunic would look gorgeous on a wee baby boy.Do you have the Puppet Show? I wonder if that collar would fit?

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI can’t help but think when I’m sewing the little layette (and I’m sewing it A LOT right now as almost all of my friends are having babies by the end of the summer) that it feels like a modern heirloom (contradiction, I know).
I’m making the bodysuit in a batiste which automatically makes it feel special and on certain ones I have been adding…[Read more]
