My name is Roberta Beaver and I used The Tucked Infant Gown #108. Breath taking!  We love what Roberta did with the daygown pattern.   And the trim makes it so elegant. ∼ Michie’

Finished before Thanksgiving for the grandkids picture with Santa! I used the classic #146 but added the ruffle at the neck instead of a collar. I didn’t make it too holiday specific so she can wear it longer. Hope you, your family and team have a lovely Christmas, […]

I have fallen in love with making bishop dresses! Your pattern is a perfect fit.  I was a little nervous about using navy as I thought it might overwhelm the child, but to my delight I think she looks just fine. Thank you as always, Alison Brim […]

Because we just love smocking, we have added several of our favorite smocking designs and other items to our website!  Smocking plates, pleated inserts, baby cording and our Smocking Kit will not only help meet your smocking needs, but also makes great gifts for the holidays. ∼ Michie’

“Made by Elizabeth Thetford for my grandson. I used imperial broadcloth for the romper and imperial batiste for the collar. The collar has a little chick insertion and is trimmed with Swiss trim. I shamelessly copied and bought all supplies from Beth’s Heirloom Sewing in Wetumpka!” Thank you […]

I’m so excited to give you a peek inside Classic Sewing magazine’s Holiday Issue.  For my article, I chose tea dyed tatting and a simple embroidery design using pattern #119.  Wanting less holiday and more of a winter look, a color pallet of white, ecru and pale […]
