We love Jennifer Wilkinson Wood’s take on our Vintage Baby Bubbles pattern! Adding a playful print is a great way to change up the pattern and this also makes a perfect play outfit.

Our final day at La Broderie Bayou was filled with excitement as we explored various needlework techniques, including French knots, Colonial knots, and handmade buttonholes. Following a hearty lunch of roast, potato soup, and salad, we concluded the day with a showcase of garments made by Wendy.

We look forward to seeing everyone at La Broderie Bayou in 2025!

Day four at La Broderie Bayou was filled with bullion rose embroidery and a satisfying lunch of chicken fricassee, yellow rice, and a Creole tomato salad.

Day three at La Broderie Bayou 2024 was a thrilling experience, as we explored the buttonhole scallop stitch on organdy and tear drop eyelets. Our lunch was a delectable cob salad with chicken, and the evening presentation of 'Little French Dresses' was nothing short of spectacular, complemented by a delicious jambalaya dinner!

Day two of our La Broderie Bayou adventure was full of fun! We kicked off the day with granitos and eyelets , followed by a lunch that looked like as good as it tasted - spinach salad topped with spaghetti bolognese. We can't wait to see what's in store for us on day three!

We had such a great start to La Broderie Bayou 2024! Today we started by tracing off our pattern and learning the Buttonhole Scallop Stitch. And we took a lunch break with New Orleans famous red beans and rice! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

We had an incredible experience at the Royal School of Needlework, where we took five days of private lessons in silk shading and worked on two projects. We are eager to share all the new skills and techniques we learned!

Virgina’s Drawn Tread Dress

This darling dress features high yoke, full skirt, and three-quarter length sleeves with triangular cuff. The neckline is adorned with a ruffled fabric edge. The dress also features drawn thread work embroidery. If drawn thread is not your “cup of tea”, the dress would look darling made up in fashion fabric. Also featured is a ribbon belt held in place with little mother of pearl circlets (no longer available). The pattern includes Sizes 1, 2, 3 for little girls.

Detailed, well-illustrated directions are included for both the construction and drawn thread work. Even a novice would be able to understand and follow Wendy’s expert guide.

Here is a delightful project for a baby boy. Sewing for boys requires special attention.

With this project in hand, you can master the art of embellishment without femininity while creating the proper collar, cuffs, and pocket for this adorable baby romper suit. Working with linen, you will learn the quick and easy method of making perfectly shaped eyelets without an embroidery hoop. Wendy will show you her techniques for making perfectly rounded Granito dots and how to turn a simple edge into magic with the buttonhole scallop stitch. This fast-moving lesson promises to keep you on the edge of your seat while enjoying the perfect evening sewing. The precious romper is constructed of blue cotton pique, the perfect contrast to the bright white of the linen collar, cuffs, and pocket, and is just darling with its button belt and snap-together crotch. This is the perfect little suit for your little lad wearing a 6-month size. And for those of you sewing for baby girls, a puffed sleeve pattern will also be provided. Please join Andrea and Wendy in our lovely and spacious New Orleans studio.
