What I Am Sewing on Now Story

I have been thinking about making this baby ensemble of a dress, coat, slip, and bonnet with hand embroidery for months. I have some nice ecru cotton batiste, and I found the pattern in my stash, so I cut it out today.

Pinned to fabric

Pattern laid out ready to cut.

All cut out.

First set of hand embroidery done on yoke to coat. The last baby dress I made, I did pink embroidery on blue batiste. This time, I decided to go with tone on tone.
