Making Machine Magic Seminar Projects

"Bambino del Sole" Fancy Frock & Bonnet

Imagine how precious your little angel will look toddling through the garden dressed in this fabulous Italian inspired frock & bonnet.  Special nostalgic touches on the sweet little ensemble include removable silk satin bonnet & sash was ties, applique cord embellished with gathered lace, fine corded satin stitch work, plus a precious insertion trimmed peek a boo scalloped hemline supported with organdy.  Of course, as with all things befitting a royal Miss, everything is sprinkled with delicate floral embroidery, yet only the lazy daisies need be stitched by hand. 

 

Join Debbie for 4 glorious days in Aiken and learn how her corded satin stitched scallops, 30 sec granitos, machine applique cord (inserted entredeux) and new fusible thread lace application make it possible to recreate all but the sprinkles of embroidery by machine… while making a fabulous fancy frock & bonnet that's sweet as sunshine itself!
