LTTS Book: Messy Kid Bibs

 

When I bought my Little Things to Sew Book I bought it with this pattern in mind for Sweet pea. The main reason I bought this book... I never did get around to making her this bib. Thank goodness we had Prince C! Just before Christmas Eve I made this bib, #1; I wanted Prince C to have a Christmas bib and #2; I didn't want him to mess up his clothes. ; )

 

This bib was so quick and easy to make that I made him two more the other day. I used left over fabric from his Puppet Theater and puppet drawstring bag. Two Fat quarters of fabric would really be enough to make a bib. (other than the bias) It took me less than an hour to make both of these from cutting out to sewing.  

 

The size is great too for toddlers, just perfect to cover Prince C clothes and a pocket to catch any food missed. I did not use any on the iron on vinyl for any of these, I like the cloth bibs much better. I did how ever use two piece of fabric for main bib, a front and a back. Nothing leaks through and easy to wash still.

 

 

15 projects sewn and 6 to go!

First Christmas Keepsake bib

I am a bit sad to say that I just now have got around today to make Prince C Christmas bib.  Although I am happy that I made it before Christmas. I made it just like his sister's from her first Christmas too. Prince C is just about 6 months old here... 

 Sweet pea is 11 months old here. :) Don't they look a lot a like?

If you would like to know how to make one of these bibs up you can find my tutorial here. They are quick and easy to do. The hardest part was trying to trace a wiggle baby's hands and foot. It was a funny too! :D

 On baby boy's I used flat piping instead of a ruffle and I left off the rick rack. I was going to add red rick rack but never remember to buy it at the store when I was there. Oh well. The plaid is the same as his bow tie for his Christmas outfit. The reindeer is is corduroy, the face is cord turned backwards to give it a different look from the antlers.

I have one more thing that I need to sew before Christmas morning and one more thing that Mr G wants me to sew up. I hope to finish them both. Then onto  (very) late Christmas gifts for family afar. I wish I had them done but I know they will be soon enough. It's the thought that counts. :)

 

I hope you Christmas is a wonderful one!
