| The gown is finished and the Baby is Christened!! As some of you know I was working like a mad dog to finish my Grand Nephew's Christening gown. I will never have any of my own grandchildren so I wanted to do something special for my sister's first grandson! I made the gown in a very soft swiss batiste. The outter skirt is made of a sheer voile. I had an "H" embroidered on the chest for their family name. She wanted this to become an heirloom gown. I made a matching bib and blanket and hanging bag. ON the hem of the skirt lining i had embroidered the Bible verse Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ... its white on white so they couldnt photo it. on the back of the hem it said made with love by Auntie Tink Here is my lil stinker after his Christening. I see he "christened" his gown in what looks to be sweet potatos...lol Villette knows this lil guy cus she made the cutest labels with is face on it. His name is Brody Cole and he just turned 7 months. I get to stay with him for 3 days next month! I cant wait!!! Enjoy the pics! cg1.jpg cg2.jpg Mommy and Brody cg3.jpg Daddy and Brody cg4.jpg |

| You did a beautiful job! I wish I had had something that special for my boys. I'm saving my wedding dress to make christening gowns for my own grandchildren. Not that I can sew like you do, I figured I'd find someone who could make it for me. That is something I would treasure! Your nephew is a beautiful baby too! |

| Lisa, you are very talented. What a beautiful gown you made for Brody. He looks adorable in it. I love keeping special things from my children and passing them down. My two granddaughter's were baptised in their mother's gown. Just think one day, down the road, Brodie's son or daughter will wear it also. What a beautiful memory you made for him. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Oh wow! What incrediable talent and how special each stitch was sewn with love. I love the bible verse and really like the idea that was imprinted along the hem. It's a wonderful keepsake. Brody is quite cute himself!
