delicate & sweet embroidery + embellishments for baby boys and girls

view 1: heirloom pintucks

one of the sweetest and easiest embellishments (not to mention practically free) to add to heirloom garments are pintucks. the kit explains how to do them via a twin needle (which is supplied) as well as with a single needle.

view 2: hand embroidery

the kit has four deliciously soft colors of floche and walks you through the commonly found embroidery stitches: outline/stem stitch, lazy daisy stitch, bullions and how to place them for roses and rose buds, french knots, and the buttonhole stitch.

view 3: smocked gown

learn how to hand pleat as well as geometric smocking with size 12 pearl cotton. so easy and beautiful!

view 4: hand embroidery + lace

continue your hand embroidery practice - this time with dmc coton a broder and start to learn lace work. the kit goes over how to attach entredeux to fabric, lace to entredeux, gather lace, shape lace... and so much more! 

how does this fit a newborn? 

After having four full-term and mostly averaged sized babies, I've been able to collect their measurements in great detail. So I feel fairly confident in describing how this will fit an averaged size newborn weighing from 7 lbs through 9.5 lbs as well as an averaged size 3 month old (about 11-14 lbs). 

view 1: one piece gown

This is going to be the most roomy fitting gown in the collection. Due to its one-piece nature, it's going to provide your little one with plenty of wiggle room and fit a newborn through three month old.

view 2: yoke dress

This will truly fit a newborn and will be too small for an averaged size 3 month old. Yes, there is some ease built-in for a newborn, but all the seams will hit where they should without any growing room. 


I love this option when part of the goal of the garment is to capture how small my newborns were as fresh infants - such a sweet memory. 

view 3: smocked gown

This is slightly loose on a newborn with plenty of wiggle room through the body of the gown. 

view 4: classic gown

This gown is fitted through the shoulders and upper chest for a newborn. Then it opens up to offer wiggle room through the body.
