Boy's Bubble with Shaped Lace Collar

This wonderful boy's bubble was created from blue Pima broadcloth using Sarah Howard Stone's Meriwhether pattern. The shaped collar which is based on the collar included in the pattern was drawn off and an embroidery design added to fit within the curve of the shaped lace.

The front yoke features lace insertions and beading as well as pressed tucks. The laces used in this design are vintage ones that I have collected over time.

Boy's Romper with Embroidered Spoke Collar

This Easter suit/romper was made for a nine month old boy. The suit was created from Pima broadcloth and the collar from Swiss batiste. I used the Cherry Williams Baby Romper and Jumpsuit pattern with a few modifications for the suit itself. The collar I designed using Sarah Howard Stone, Inc. Basic Square Yoke Dress pattern as my basis for the design and adjusted the seam allowances and the neck circumference to fit the Cherry Williams pattern.
