baby bibs

I’m having way too much fun sewing baby bibs. 

I made Seth one out of thick blue flannel decorated with cowboys, and horses.  I cut the fabric so that horses would be centered in the middle.

I have made Sarah two bibs.  The first one is a green leafy fabric, on an off-white background.

We have already used this one, it came out of the washer and dryer just fine—no ironing necessary.

The bibs end up being nice and big, thick with two layers of fabric, and tied behind the neck with a big bow.  What I like the best is the way the fabric draps over the shoulders like a little backwards cape.

  1. You remind me that I need to make more bibs for my littles.On the list for next week!Yours are very cute.I used a similar fabric to applique stars on my 4yo grandson’s cowboy vest ( made for Christmas ). {Actually, I started with a cowboy shirt and hated how it was turning out so I went to plan B — the vest} He is all about horses and cowboys. He asked his mother for a neckerchief the other day. I need to pick up some bandannas for him. Such a small thing to make him smile.Hope you are having a nice weekend, Shanda.xo

  2. These are so cute. I like the material on Seth’s Bib. It looks really retro – 1950’s -ish. I like the way they cover so much area. I also want to know if you have a pattern. My niece is getting ready to have a baby and it would be a nice gift that I could make with beginning sewing skills. They look pretty easy. 🙂

  3. Such cute bibs you made. Aren’t they great, liking how they really cover them and, contain the mess babies make when eating. Fun materials too. Your two are looking like happy models!

  4. aww! how cute are those! my mom still has the bibs she made for us as kids and uses them on the grandkids now…someday, that will be you!! =) and, now, she also makes them for my kids, and since the miles that separate us are HUGE, i like thinking of my mom whenever i use bibs on my little guy…it really is a keepsake.happy weekend!!
