“Petite Treat” fabric collection by Lindsay Wilkes from the Penny Rose fabric division of Riley Blake Designs!

Lindsay Wilkes, “The Cottage Mama”, has done it again with her latest precious fabric line from Penny Rose Fabrics of Riley Blake Designs! I’ve had so much fun making pretties with this adorableness, as you can see. In fact, this set inspired a whole new set of machine embroidery designs because I really, really “needed” to make my granddaughter a tea time table topper and the works… 

That cheery little dollie print was just too cute to cut up. It made such a cheerful tablecloth edged with rickrack trim! And of course a topper embroidered with my Tiny Tea designs and napkins to coordinate were a must from the tiny stripes. 

And Kate needed a new dress, of course! That blue and white stripe trimmed with the wee floral – oh my, how sweet a combination!

Don’t you just LOVE ruffles? I’ve got to make her more dresses with sleeve ruffles. They are so much fun and really easy to make! And pockets make everything perfect. (Did you know you can make pockets in the hoop? Click HERE to learn about my online class at “The Sewing Collection” for this fun technique and so much more.)

Know what else I love? Those pretty little motif stitches we never seem to know what to do with on our fancy sewing machines. My Baby Lock Destiny has so many I haven’t even tested them all yet, but this one is a favorite already. It looks like a tiny, tightly stitched star, almost like a candlewick. It’s so fun to add pretty touches so easily with my Baby Lock machines and their onboard motifs! 

Superior Thread’s King Tut made the motif stitching so pretty. I also love Sulky’s variegated rayon for embroidery. Check out that kitty- looks like a real striped tabby, doesn’t it!

And Des needed a new shirt because it turns out little boys like kitties just as much as little girls do… and this Gramma, too… I need a shirt with kitty fabric!

I used Pintucks & Petticoats “Luke” shirt pattern by Paige Alexander for the little chambray shirt. (The chambray fabric is from Organic Cotton Plus.) I love that little touch of “sweet pop” on the pocket and under the button placket, don’t you? (I had to do a pattern hack to make the placket with the kitty fabric – stay tuned, I’ll blog about that hack soon!)

And check out the Baby Lock Sashiko stitching – the perfect finishing touch!

So, y’all ready for tea time? I know I am!

Thanks for reading, come back soon!
