New Daygowns


I can't believe it! I was able to finish all the sewing projects I wanted to complete before Baby Carby arrived! Here are the 3 day gowns I sewed and embroidered. And I taught myself to shadow embroider in the process! When I was at the fabric store, I couldn't bring myself to buy white fabric and bought blues and seafoam green thinking I was staying gender neutral. Now looking at the collection, it looks like I had boy on the brain. Girls can wear blue...

Shadow Embroidered Lambs
Shadow Embroidery

I've learned I absolutely love embroidering and it can be done on anything! Shadow embroidery must be done on a thin fabric though so the color can be seen through the fabric, hence the "shadow" term. And I will admit that I had always thought that fabric had been sewn down to make the color on the fabric.
