Heirloom Dresses...I have been working on these for awhile now...all together six of them from size 6 to 6 months...five are here. All bodices were done totally in the hoop...I digitized my own pattern and bodice detail and the bodices are large, medium, small, xsmall and xxsmall...my little ones loved them and they all fit perfectly. The lengths come to just above their ankles and range from 34" to 17" in length. I am very happy with them!

I have designed these...digitized the bodice to be sewn and finished in the hoop...then the skirt is constructed and sewn to the bodice...it is designed to be able to add any design to the basic bodice to change it up...the possibilities are endless...thank you for your comments....I am still deciding if I should post in DBC or offer them for sale...

mgregg01 by mgregg01 27 Apr 2013

These little dresses are just beautiful...you have done a great job with the designs and doing your own digitizing...with great details...THIS is what embroidery is all about....great presentation also...

Thank you...the digitizing is the part that is the most difficult for me..the actual sewing is a bit time consuming for all six dresses, but easy pezy!

Yes, it has been hard to make clothing for my little granddaughter when they are not close and the parents do not have a tape measure. lol

The patterns are my own...I designed and digitized the bodices and also the skirts. The bodices are done totally in the hoop from start to finish...and then the skirts are constructed and sewn to the finished bodice. The bodices are designed so that the embroidered parts can be totally changed out for other border and center designs. I plan to do another set with completely different embroidery around the perimeter of the bodices and center motifs...the possibilities are endless...

I do plan to do more...since I digitized the bodice pattern to be sewn in the hoop, I plan to change the embroidery designs within the bodice and go from there...lots of choices for variations...thanks for your comments.

These dresses you've done are very adorable. I'd wondered about how long it took you to digitize& what software did you use?Thanks for sharing them& God's blessings.:~D

dragonflyer by dragonflyer 21 Apr 2013

The actual digitizing didn't take long a all...what took the time was coming up with the bodice pattern and sizing it for all the girls...one wears a 6, one wears a 5, one wears a 4, one wears a 3, one a 2 and one 6 months size...I used Janome MBPro3 software for these.
