Kudos to Carol on the christening gown sweet baby--what a combination.
Recently, while looking for a pattern for leftover yarn, I found
Wow! That is the first gown I have seen that is All lace. Very well done.
It looks beautiful - and so does the dear little baby.
I hope she grows up to love lace, too, like her Grandma obviously does!!

When this conversation began I thought we were all speaking of a cloth gown
with lace trim, but this one of Carols, is something else. It sounds
fantastic. Having never seen the book, or the pattern or pictures I dont
have any concept of the piece, but you set my mind thinkingg.
What style
HI Sue,
Think of a paper pattern to cut out a baby dress and the shape of
each piece. Each piece of lace is made in the shape of one of the
paper patterns ie: yoke is almost a circle, the sleeves are shaped
like little puff sleeves and the front and back pieces are generally
straight
Hello
I have made the tablecloth from the Veronica Sorenson book and have been
looking and pondering about the Christening Gown. Has anyone made the gown??
If so how did you get on with it??
I still like the Biggens one as well. Choices Choice

Hi Donna
If you can get hold of a copy of Eeva Liisa Kortelahti's Nyplättyä Pitsiä /
Bobbin Lace - which is no doubt out of print now as it was published in 1981 -
there is a scale pattern for a christening gown which is nearly all straight
lines to make a simple modern dress. The yoke and
Greetings fellow lacers, I have a question for you all. Some of you might

Sue,
This is the gown that I made for my niece. I didn't have a lot of time,
so I just made a simple Torchon
edging for the bottom with herringbone stitching to join the two piece
collar and cuffs. The pattern
was Linda (I think) from Doris Southard's Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking.

What lovely ideas these are, Cherry (reprinted below). Since you do
commission work, may I suggest that somewhere in the book you put some care
instructions?
1. Tell the textile content (cotton batiste, for example). Tell if it was
preshrunk before making up.
2. Tell maker's name

Hello Lynn - and Jean !
I am having the most delightful summer working one or two days a week
with
fabrics in a quilt shop, and my experience (lifelong - not just this
summer) with fabrics has taught me
One thing to bear in mind when considering fabrics for a christening gown is
that babies do what babies do, even if it's only to dribble, and the gown
will probably need to be laundered between wearings.
