For wee ones

Today I was tidying up my craft room (it's an endless task) and I thought I'd scan these baby bib designs for you. They're from the same Workbasket sheet as the non-scary clowns and they have the days of the week plus a few little pictures to add with them. So if you've got little ones to make pressies for, some of these would look very sweet on little singlets, onesies or the bibs.


I think the vintage-style toys are charming, do kids still play with wooden elephants on strings, tin tops and have piggy banks?

Thank u for the pattern. I worked on a few bibs just last week and am thinking of making more. This is so timely. You can view those that I had made here

love the patterns- that train is so cute! My daughter had a wooden alligator with a string that she used to walk around the house with.

I finally had some time to explore more of this site (for the last hour woo hoo). It is a delight to see and read. You writing about them is as fun as the transfers themselves, well almost. I love reading the descriptions in catalogs etc. and some of these are priceless. It makes you wonder just how different things were back then. As soon as I clear a few things off my project plate I will work on a few patterns from you.
You really have a special place here, Thank You so much for sharing! Love Stacy

thanks for the patterns. I'm trying to bring back wooden toys, they're so much cooler than plastic ones.

Thank you - these are great! I WISH more kids still played with wooden toys. They're so timeless.

The toys are lovely and I am sure will be easy to stitch. My friend Faye has alot of wooden toys for her daughter and sells some on her website, so I know some people are happier for children to have simple long lasting toys rather than the usual rubbish that a lot of companies churn out.

I am sad to say that ALL clowns are scary to me.....

wooden toys and tin spinning tops are some of my best sellers.
