White work

I had mentioned some time back that my oldest daughter was being taught white work by me for a project she was doing for school.  She did all the embroidery then I assembled the dress for her a mother and daughter effort.  I think she did a great job for her first time effort she even went as far to hand embroider each button hole.

The tatting is some antique that I had that we added to make the dress a little fancier.  She could have made the tatting herself ( as I taught her to tat in the last a few years) or I could have made some even fancier but since we already had white we just choose to use it instead.

  3. VERY pretty! I'm learning to tat too (and smock) so I'm going to try to add my tatting to the sleeves of a baby dress.
