linen tape



I finally bought some linen tape and did the calcs on getting it screen printed. Hmmm... way too expensive. So with 20 metres of tape, my next plan of action was to have some little stamps made up and get stamping.
After looking through my sewing books for inspiration, I decided to make some baby bibs. Why didn't I do this when my kids were babies - so easy!!

It looks lovely! The tape itself looks beautifully textured too - great detail on the stamps.

That tape looks beautiful. The bibs are lovely as well.

I'm guessing you were too busy to make them! But better later than never-the tape looks great!

I love that tape! I'd like to get some of that too, but I'd have a totally different use for it :)

They are stunning!

The stamped tape looks absolutely lovely.

Now I am inspired to make my little one some bibs before she's too old :) Not enough hours in the day is there *sigh*
