An ITH bib made from shirts belonging to the late grandfather of a baby soon to be born. Probably not hugely practical (although it does have a layer of toweling inside) but good for "ceremonial occasions", I hope.

Nice to remember, and quite unique work those 2 sides

A wonderful memory piece. You are so creative.

What a great idea, and it looks good .
Hugs Pam

If it were mine I would mount in a frame after some pictures were taken with him wearing it. Would add on the mounting details and dates, then hang and pass down to generations to come. A perfect heirloom you have created/Lillian

4 shirts - the back is a plain one.
The bells start on Monday next.

Maybe a wall hanging for the baby's room, Because it is made from the Grandfathers shirt I would not want to just wear it, and perhaps ruin it.

There will be a keepsake bear when the baby is born. (When I know the name.)

This is great, great recycling for a smart boy, hugs Maria :-)
