Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1914 — Pretty Bibs. [ARTICLE]

Pretty Bibs.

Short lengths of linen, damask or duck may be transformed into useful and attractive bibs if one has time for a little handwork. Of course, bibs that are double are more practical than those which are made of a single thickness of the material. If they are made double, it is wise to do the handwork before lining them. Simple designs in outline stitch or cross stitch, if done in colors —say the soft blues or blue and yellow —are particularly effective. The child’s name is cross stitch, too, gives a touch of Individuality.
