Christmas microcheck gingham suit.

My oldest son had a suit when he was a newborn that was microcheck red gingham with a white bodice, footed pants to match, shirt buttoned up the back. I loved that little suit for him and wanted to make one just like it for Teddy.

It is difficult to find cute patterns for baby boys but I ran across this pattern a while back and bookmarked it because it had footed pants. I adapted the shirt part to button down the back, and made the top half of the shirt in white with redwork embroidery in a design suitable for christmas.

It isn’t the exact same suit as the one I had for Michael, but it is pretty darn close.

Hand Embroidery on Handkerchief Linen

I fell in love with this Alice Dress Pattern from Wendy Schoen/Petite Poche, the first time I saw it and decided I wanted to make it for my granddaughter, Hope. I could vision the embroidery in reds and greens for christmas.

I used genuine Irish Handkerchief Linen for the dress in white. Embroidery was worked by hand in red and green.

I think it came out beautifully.
