Bibs

Here is my first bib made courtesy of this pattern and tute.

The pattern is in 2 bits to fit on the page but I cut it out and didn't stick it together and instead used contrasting fabric, which I must say I am a bit tired of looking at since it's my pj fabric. I made the same mistake on the bib at the bottom that happened with R's ballet bag, either the fabric wasn't taut enough or perhaps just too big? It created a couple of unwanted pleats. I unpicked R's bag when it happened but it wasn't worth doing for this bib so M has inherited it and can use it for her doll's. Other than that, I'm really happy with it....oh actually no, I will use a middle layer of terry next time, it was a bit thin.

THE GOOD SIDE


THE BAD SIDE


CLOSE UP OF MISTAKE - Why does this happen??


BIB SNAPPED TOGETHER


This is the next lot of bibs waiting for the other 2 layers to be cut. I ended up lengthening the pattern and also squared off the ends.


I love showing lots of photos :-D
