I have just finished the new Old Fashioned Baby Smocked Layette pattern. I smocked an original design added my own embroidery. This is the 0-3 mth. size. I used the gown patttern and added 6″ to the length so that I could add the drawstring hem.
It is made out of rice imperial batiste with ecru smocking and ecru ribbon. I embroidered bullion roses, rosebuds, and periwinkle forget me knots with soft yellow centers.
The sleeve is also smocked with added rosebuds.
I highly recommend this pattern as it is so quick to sew and smock. The touch of smocking just makes the daygown so sweet.
