Some bibs for you

This is a bib I made for a baby shower gift. I more or less followed this tutorial at Make It - Love It. I think it turned out cute, but I probably wouldn't do it again. It took way too much time for something that's just going to be spit up and slobbered on.



This bib was much easier, and I actually like it better. I used a flannel print for the front and cut up a cheap hand towel for the back.


Oh, and I can't get out my sewing machine without making something out of Cheerios fabric. For the back of this one, I used the other cut-off leg of an old pair of sweats. I just knew those would come in handy someday.


I used buttonhole closures on most of these for several reasons. 1) I had buttons. 2) Velcro tends to stick to everything in the wash and eventually becomes unsticky. 3) I find that buttons or snaps work best to keep the bib on the baby. Velcro can be yanked off mid-meal and Lauren can lift the over-the-head ones over her head.

I'm glad I was already started on these. Now I can put away the darn machine and not get it out again until the last day of March.
