Shadow Trapunto Baby Bibs #142

Victorian baby bibs were often very elaborate "to give the wee one a quite dressed up air and hide the useful, non-ornamental necessity (wadding liner) underneath". Padding in the modern version plays dual duty, breathing life into the design and also adding the required absorbency to protect the clothing below. New products and techniques make it possible to create intricate dimensional designs by machine, eliminating much of the time consuming handwork traditionally required. This precious whisper soft Japanese lawn bib with its multi-color pastel relief makes a lovely baby gift sure to delight any new mom. Step-by-step instsructional booklet includes direction for recreating Trapunto by Machine, plus floral, boutis bows, and shadow quackers bib motifs.
