Baby Boy's Christening Gown

Just needed to sew some heirloom things this spring, and I had this wonderful book from Martha Pullen that had instructions for several christening gowns. This one is for a boy, where the skirt is removable of the bubble. Both the top and skirt has shaped bias and embroidered crosses. Fabric is cotton batiste.

Christening Pillow

This christening pillow is made of swiss Nelona cotton batiste and cotton lace. In the center is a lace shaped heart and embroided cross from Martha Pullen's IEC designs. This pillow was featured in Martha Pullen's newsletter in spring '08. Later on the spring I sold it...

Baby Jackets x3

I had an assembly line going... made three little baby jackets of cotton and flanel.

Baby bottle warmers

I made these baby bottle warmers for the twin girls before they had names, and were still called 'A and B'.

Twin baby bonnets

My niece had twin babies, and I made them these bonnets of white cotton batiste, pink flanel and white cotton lace. The instructions and embroidery designs are from Martha Pullen. The card in the background is also embroidered....

Bobbin Lace Rose

I took a bobbin lace class during the winter '07-'08. This rose was one of the projects I made during the class.
