"Sarah
Beth for Christmas!
"
This
beautiful bishop is made with Imperial batiste, smocked using
the "Sarah Beth smocking plate from Peanut Butter-n-Jelly Kids.
Madeira cotton floss was used to smock the design. Red #510, White
#2401, Green #1303
At the
neck of the dress I used the little red French trim, placed it just
so the first row of outline stitches peeks out through. Carefully
base this edge down and then use the stitching line to follow while
sewing the neck bias on.
Swiss
embroidered lace edging (8B) is sewn
to the Swiss insertion (4B) and then sewn to the bottom of the
finished dress. The sleeves are trimmed with a Maline lace (1C) that
resembles a snow flurry.
The
Color changes are: The outline stitches and leaves are done in
green, the flowers are red and white and all the rest of the
smocking in done in white.
