S asked me to make four unique baby bibs for her shop. She sent me in a certain direction with some ideas and here are the results:
I roughly copied a bib I had on hand, modifying the corners/curves a bit. S initially asked for a bib that said "They put my cape on backwards" but text is difficult for me to do since I don't have an embroidery machine. The superhero-ish one is my attempt at a similar sentiment.
Fruity bibs heavily inspired by these. If I make the strawberry one again, I think I'll make the leaves a little bigger.
More gifts! These are just like the still-all-too-ubiquitous plastic grocery bags, but they're fabric. I followed this tutorial and you actually use a plastic bag as a pattern. The instructions are very good and include a pocket so that the bag can be folded up and is easy to keep in a purse or a car's glove box. Mostly for the sake of the gift recipients, here's how to fold up the bag.... 1. Lay the bag pocket side down and fold it length-wise using the edges of the pocket as a guide. 2. Fold it in half, aligning the top of the handles with the bottom of the bag. 3. Fold in half again and then reach into pocket with your hand and turn the whole thing (pocket included) inside out. Happy shopping!
these bibs are darling. i have tomorrow to sew. the quilt shop gave me a bib pattern to make up for them, i think i like yours better.
ReplyDeleteSince baby clothes are so small, it's easy to get a lot of them in a small space; especially if you effectively utilize drawer organizers. These can be purchased at nearly every home store, or you can measure the drawer, and cut out heavy weight cardboard to make your own.
ReplyDeleteReally great bibs. I love those fruity bibs, they're adorable and I don't think I have seen anything like it until now.
