A dress for Sonia.
I’ve taken inspiration from the Romanian folks wear, the traditional stitches and colors found on blouses.

The pattern is a little smoked dress, also known as a bishop dress.
I debated doing the hand embroidery and smocking…vs machine made…this time, the machine won.
For anyone with a great embroidery machine, here are some more designs I wanted to try…could no longer launch my Windows virtual machines, where the PED Basic was installed…oh well will have to re-do it one day.
Pattern: Burda
Fabric: white poplin
Fabric stabilizer: starch spray
Thread: regular sewing thread for the embroidery, no shiny stuff
