The Baby Layette: Completed!

The Baby Shower was Saturday. I did not even get the little dress started!
I ran out of time. But baby's mamma was quite pleased with
the little layette as it was.

two sweet little heart buttons for dainty embellishment!
I hope baby likes it!

Baby Layette Part 3: The Bib!





Not practical, being white and lacy, but just what one needs
to look sweet and cherubic while taking a nap during church!
(Wish the pattern came in my size! ;~P)


The back is made of soft white flannel, sports hand embriodered flowers and vines
and vintage lace!
