I have a friend who is on bed rest expecting a sweet baby girl any time now so it was definitely time to sew up some girlie-girl baby stuff.
First up was this super easy baby girl bib! Don't cha just love the chunky rick-rack! I got it in a grab bag at an upholstery store. |
The pattern needed a bit of straightening where the 2 pieces come together. Probably because of differences in printers. No biggie! |
After reading her directions, I found I did a few things differently.
- I used a heavy weight fabric for the top piece so I didn't use any interfacing as she suggested.
- I cut the 2 blocks out first and then sewed them together because I was trying to squeeze them out of some scraps.
- I did use lots of pins when I was sewing the two sides together - as she suggests. Minky can have a mind of its own and tends to move around as you sew so taking charge and pinning are a must.
I just realized that I didn't take any pictures of the back which is the softest minky fabric in baby pink. Got my girlie fix with this one for sure!
The best part? It took about 20 minutes start to finish! |

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend and got to do a little something that makes your heart sing!
