antique baby butterfly sacque–hand embroidered<\/p><\/div>\n

Winter is just around the corner and it is expected to be a cold one.\u00c2\u00a0 Wool is classic fabric for brrrrrrr season.\u00c2\u00a0For sewing, smocking, and hemstitching,\u00c2\u00a0 it is divine. \u00c2\u00a0 For jackets, skirts, blouses, shawls,\u00c2\u00a0 baby blankets or any winter wear, quality wool is just luscious.\u00c2\u00a0 The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

When I first learned smocking and heirloom sewing, more than 30 years ago, hemstitched, lace edged,\u00c2\u00a0 woolen baby blankets were very popular.\u00c2\u00a0 That was when I learned about hemstitching and attaching tatting or lace to it, and decided to learn embroidery.\u00c2\u00a0 So long ago, so much joy and beauty to behold since then…..<\/p>\n

This antique baby sacque\u00c2\u00a0 has seen heavy use.\u00c2\u00a0 At the center back, just below the cutwork neckline, there is an area that has been mended.<\/p>\n

I bought this sweet little thing more than 15 years ago, dreaming of grandchildren.\u00c2\u00a0 My plan was to trace off the pattern and make at least one for my grandmother’s hope chest.\u00c2\u00a0 Like so many plans, this one never came to fruition–too many ideas, too little time.\u00c2\u00a0 But I have enjoyed fingering the sacque all these years.<\/p>\n

The brief discussion (below)\u00c2\u00a0 of the butterfly sacque was found in my 1934 Singer Sewing Library, Book 3, How to Make Children’s Clothes<\/em>. Any one of the wools below would be suitable for this style garment.<\/p>\n
