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.

How clever is that? Even down to make believe buttons on the front.
Too nice to dribble or chuck up on this one.

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.)

Sue I really like what you have done. Do I detect 3 different shirts here? Got started on the bells yet? /Lillian

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
by spendlove 13 Oct 2016
4 shirts - the back is a plain one.
The bells start on Monday next.
