Sock Monkey Bibs!

When Mimi was a baby, my mom got us a lot of really awesome handmade bibs off of etsy. We had them to match every outfit, or so it seemed. They saved us from a lot of devastating stains. The handmade ones were also much cuter and unique than the store bought ones. 

And until recently, I really had no idea how quick and easy bibs were to make. I found a pattern on Pinterest that I enlarged a bit and went from there, and ended up making these. 

I decided to make something that was unisex especially since I'm in need of some gifts for boys. I'm not the biggest fan of unisex things for babies. I can't help it, I just love pink too much and plus baby girl stuff is so much cuter. :)

The polka dot fabric was a random find at Jo-Ann's that I got a while back. I really had nothing in mind when I bought it so it ended up in the bottom of my tub of fabric. I forgot that my mom gave me the sock monkey fabric a few years back. Paired together the fabrics really compliment each other. 

I backed the bibs with lightweight fleece. I originally intended to use towel backing, but the lady at the fabric store recommended the fleece. Hopefully it will wash up nicely. 

Off to make some more. 

Until next time.......
