Next, I decided to do a blanket stitch around some of the parts of the animals and a basic running stitch around others. First, I practiced a running stitch. It basically just involves going from the front to the back of the fabric in a line around the edges.
Next week, I'm going to practice the blanket stitch and finish stitching the animals onto the bibs. Then, the only things left to do are sew the backing onto the bibs, and add Velcro so the bibs can easily be put on and taken off the baby.
Anna this is really great! I can appreciate the hard work and precision that goes into hand stitching (a lot of my courses required it over the past two years) and especially with a contrasting thread choice. That takes so much patience to acquire the desired effect. This is going to be adorable when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteAnna your project looks great!! I can only imagine how hard it must be to hand stitch this bib. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your finished product.
