Dove Bib


Yesterday I ordered fabric for an Easter project I am so excited about...I'll surely post pictures when it's complete. I can't make it to the fabric store to pick up a new pattern until after naps this morning, so last night I had to do something. Being away for several weeks on vacation has left me eager to sew. So I rummaged through my scrap fabrics and pulled out some ribbon and came up with this lovely dove bib. Again, I backed it with the brown baby corduroy, but something like ribbed chenille would be so soft and perfect to wipe up the after meal mess. I hand embroidered the dove on just to add a little more homemade, personal feel. I wasn't in the mood to sew on Velcro, sometimes it just ends up looking messy, and I wasn't willing to take the time to sew a button hole, so I place the ribbon lengths in and called it good. I actually love that it ties in the back for an adjustable neck hole size. I think I'll be making more of these. I can just imagine cute, fresh, bright patterned fabric in orange and white for another bib! Now, here's a question...is this a bib for a boy or girl? I don't know, you tell me so when I give it away I'll be giving it to the right mom to be.

So cute. I guess when you are a seamstress and you have all the materials you can whip up a bib as fast as I can make cards. Still impressive. I think it's for a girl... at least it looks adorable on Gwen. Now I want to see one with a BYU football on it... or a frog. Frogs are my new favorite for Luke. Have a great day Jamie! Keep sewing!

I think girl too! It's adorable! Do you have more than 24 hours in your day because I still can't quite comprehend how you just make one of these in one night amongst all the other things you are doing. I love it and you too!

Love this! I am a big bib making fan. I would think you could really give it to both, but I would probably go more girl.

I also vote for girl. The colors work for both but the dove is more girly. It looks fantastic Jamie.
