              Christening Treasure

              Created by: Mrs.Gooch

              You Can Make This

              Mrs.Gooch made Christening Treasure with:

              Heirloom Sewing: Essential Techniques

              Online Class

              Heirloom Sewing: Essential Techniques

              with Susan Stewart

              • This gown is made with Martha Pullen's white Victorian batiste
              • french laces
              • and satin ribbons. I used Ecru embroidery thread to embroider the Celtic knots and decorative stitches.

              Q&A with Mrs.Gooch

              hislambs@csolve.net asked:
              Oh this is absolutely stunning work! Beautifully done and a precious keepsake. Thanks for sharing.
              Mrs.Gooch answered:
              Thank you so much.

              Wow! How gorgeous! One of the things I aspire to make is Christening gowns, and this is a beautiful inspiration.
              Mrs.Gooch answered:
              Thank you. Please post pictures when ever you finish your Christening dress.

              Is there help with machine embroidery
              Mrs.Gooch answered:
              Hi Jean! I don't understand what you mean. Do you own an embroidery machine? The shop you bought it from should provide lessons. I am sure Craftsy has classes on machine embroidery.
              Lv Lucy asked:
              This dress is absolutely stunning. I would have liked to make our granddaughter's Christening dress but was not sure enough of myself. You've inspired me to try! Thanks for sharing your beautiful, treasured work of art.
              Mrs.Gooch answered:
              Thank you, Lv Lucy. I hope you do make a Christening gown . They do take a long time to make. Martha Pullen's book 'Elegant Sewing for Baby" has the most beautiful patterns in it. I think this dress is the sixth gown I have made from this book. Best of Luck!
