Ah, robots! This cute embroidery design is from the Embroidery Library. It’s the same robot I used for M’s black peasant blouse except that that one was a panel of robots and this one is a single, though it can be bought in a set. http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/search.aspx?search=Reginald%20Robot. Here’s the link for M’s peasant blouse: http://redpajamamama.wordpress.com/2011/06/05/raucous-robots/.
In fact, the fabric for the bib is left over from that black top. The bib has lining and a batting layer, and bias tape around the edge. I seem to have lost my improved skill at using bias tape if the tape is not prefolded down the middle, so I looked for a modernistic decorative stitch to cover up my inadequacies. I wanted one that was spiky and robotish, and you can see a bit of it in the closeup below:
I have two more bibs to finish, and then I will be ready for the baby shower. With great good luck, I was cleaning in the sewing room and found a baby sweater I had put aside and forgotten, so I am ahead of the game for the actual baby gift.
