Thank you to Regina L. of Maryland

Regina L. donated this gorgeous white satin and lace wedding gown.  It is a Cinderella style ballgown with a detachable royal length train, with a beautifully embroidered border.  The bodice of the gown is guipure lace with delicate cap sleeves.




This bride requested 2 handkerchiefs be made from her gown, for her sons to share with their future brides (many years from now).  The handkerchiefs can also be turned into baby bonnets with 2 folds, and 2 simple rows of stitching.  She also requested a sachet for her mother.






                                        Simple way to turn handkerchief into baby bonnet:               

                         Fold decorative edge over about 1/3 width of handkerchief and iron.
                                                   Fold opposite end under 3/4" and iron


     Hand or machine sew a straight stitch across the edge of the fold (you can hide it in the lace)
                    I used blue thread to show you where to sew, you will want white thread.


                               Insert about 18 inches of sating ribbon in the smaller section
                                     (you can wiggle it through attached to a safety pin)!
                 Sew two 12 inch pieces of ribbon on the wider fold (to tie under baby's chin)!


                                Pull the longer ribbon, and tie in a bow for the back of the bonnet.
                                         
                                                    Super Easy!  You can do it too!

I will post the photos of the finished tiny gowns upon completion.
Thank you again Regina, for making this project possible!
