Bibs, bibs....

Why am I making bibs? Well, the oldest daughter is involved in a large project. And, since she is so busy, she gave me the pattern that she developed for children's bibs. The catch was.....she need 6 bibs as soon as possible to fill an order. Yikes...I was and still am in the middle of a project that needs to be finished before the end of the month. So, I got thru the design stage for my project and started in on the bibs. The daughter, conveniently supplied the PUL..slippery, slimy stuff. A lot different that working with cotton. But, I am also working with cotton...So, I cut out one, these cannot be that difficult, right? It took me most of an afternoon! So, the next day, I made another....still took me longer than usual. I was spending 30 minutes on the binding and ANOTHER 30 minutes trying to get a pointed end to look "just right!" So, I did it that way again...before I said, enough is enough. I altered the pattern...no more points, flat ends..easier to put together and I can finish an entire bib, after the fabrics are cut, in less than 30 minutes. But, in the long out come...they are the cutest bibs. Easy to make, once I figured it out! And the colors and patterns are endless!

Now, back to the project that needs to meet a June 28th deadline! But they were so fun. Been a while since I have made a children's project!
