She hand embroidered it and a bonnet. Both my boys wore it and recently my nephew. I'm sure your pieces will become family heirlooms!Lisette Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332082021185663844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-80688656970150139592011-12-06T20:43:57.652-05:002011-12-06T20:43:57.652-05:00Do you have an embroidery machine or know someone ...Do you have an embroidery machine or know someone who does? When I made a christening gown, I added the baby's name and birth date on the inside hem of the slip. Also added my initials and a date really small. If it is intended as family heirloom, they can add the names of all the other babies that wear it to the hem as the years go by. it is a nice touch that makes it special. I borrowed a machine and did it easily- and I had never embroidered before. Some that special should have your name on it. Great job!tcsewhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086296324564857758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-24734415912334925342011-12-06T16:32:43.536-05:002011-12-06T16:32:43.536-05:00Absolutely gorgeous!Absolutely gorgeous!DawnSSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884913538397952251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-17056251536246183902011-12-06T16:32:19.698-05:002011-12-06T16:32:19.698-05:00I don't think it is overboard - I think it is ...I don't think it is overboard - I think it is such a special outfit that you should pull out all the stops!Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-92136188467782788642011-12-06T13:54:49.565-05:002011-12-06T13:54:49.565-05:00You have chosen such lovely combinations of fabri...You have chosen such lovely combinations of fabrics and trims for the dress and jacket.
