Advent Calendar 2023 – Nativity Scene
Baby Jesus in the Manger
The manger of the baby Jesus should be displayed inconspicuously. Blanket stitches of different lengths (coton à broder No. 16) form the wooden structure, Bullion Knots with two wraps form the nail heads.
(Find further information about knots in my book Early Schwalm Whitework)
The straw is worked with Satin stitches (coton à broder No. 20).
The swaddled child’s cloth bandages are embroidered with wide stem stitches (coton à broder No. 20).
The main character of the group is depicted in just a few stitches.
