My mother has made a BEE-yewtiful baptism dress for my niece on the way. Mom is a very talented and patient hardanger embroiderer and has made scores of beautiful things. She found a baptismal dress pattern and altered/charted some hardanger panels to sew into the skirt border, bodice, and bonnet and they are absolutely glorious! I will be sure and post pictures of it the next time I am home. I knit these little booties out of homespun silk left over from Mom's Elizabethan stockings. The cuffs are simple stockinette stitch and so they naturally roll, but I thought some trim sewed onto them would be pretty. I just hope they aren't too off-white in color so as not to go with the dress.
