New Sewing Pattern- Baby's Bib

I managed to convince Roo to model some bibs!

Once a reluctant model, she is now a keen poser with some crazy moves. She did insist, however, on her own hairstylist- herself. I knew I just had to work with her on this or she would storm out of the 'shoot.'

I have just listed the PDF Bib Pattern on Etsy & Felt (see My Shops to the right).


The Pattern & Instructions cater for Beginner sewers and there are 3three different designs to choose from. The bibs fit Newborn to 5 year olds, due to the adjustable Hook & Loop (eg. Velcro) neck closure.

New Bib Listings

Well it's been aaaages since I posted, but I have new bibs to list in my shop. My reluctant little model, Miss Roo, is now a cheeky three-year-old and can run even faster past the camera. I wanted to get a few photos of her wearing her own bib to give everyone an idea of how the new bibs fit. Out of 500 odd shots I think I managed to get a few ok ones.

The bibs are made to fit Newborns to age 5 if necessary -they comfortably fit Mr J, an average sized 5 year old. They have three fabric layers- a top cotton patterned fabric, an absorbent cotton interlining, and a waterproof backing layer. I've noticed most bibs don't have a waterproof bottom layer anymore, but I still think it's necessary- especially if your kids eat like mine do!

I've used strong resin snaps for the closure, so the neck size can be adjusted in nine different settings to get the perfect fit- no gaping or strangling! They are also quick and easy for adults to take off, and nearly impossible for the kids to remove themselves- Roo can't take hers off by herself.

My Sleeved Bibs

Last week I made a selection of sleeved bibs for a friend which has motivated me to get into production again! I designed the pattern earlier in the year and have made a few here-and-there but think they're worthy of a bit more of my time. I really love selecting the fabrics, and it's fun matching bibs to babies personalities, (don't mock it until you've tried it!).Roo was reluctant to model any for me today, but I will post photos if she ever obliges.

I have been making sleeved bibs for my own kids and friends' newborns for the last few years as they are so handy and a gift that no-one else would have given them already. I used make them in a raglan style with binding around the edges, but find my new design is unique and a lot neater.
