Another Baby Day Gown

I love baby daygowns!!  This is an Old Fashioned Baby pattern, and this time I chose to have it open in the back.  I used a large inverted pleat with a little bullion right where the stitch line ends in the middle front.

I made my own piping for this one.  I love piping!  I also found a terrific tutorial on how to get the perfect Peter Pan collar.  Don't you hate when you wind up with a gap right where they are supposed to meet??  I was having a hard time with that, until I found this tute. Check it out!  I must admit, I was nervous even using this method, so I managed to get just a tiny overlap.  But I will have it perfect next time!

This is the first time I have done looped bullions.  They are surprisingly easier for me to do than regular bullions.  I have done a ton of bullions over the last few months, and I still stink at them!  I thought we were supposed to get better with practice!!  It seems that I get worse! lol  I also chose a little scallop hem treatment.  This was for a little boy, so I wanted simplicity.  This little gift was well received!  I'm glad she liked it.  I might get lucky and get a modeled pic!

Happy Monday!
