Connie Palmer Christening Gown
(#1 preday)

Light and airy and oh so frilly! Enjoy three days with Connie Palmer and the Viking Diamond sewing and embroidery machine and create this sweet confection. The gorgeous infant-sized christening gown is like none you've ever seen. Made of imported Swiss fabric, the gown features a high yoke with puffed sleeves and shaped French lace insertion. You'll cut away the fabric from behind the lace to achieve the delicate air. Rows of gathered English netting strips will echo the lace shaping, and sweet machine embroideries - made easy with the Viking Diamond sewing machine provided in the classroom - will finish this heirloom classic with punctuated style.
