More bibs!
The sewing continues with 5 new members to Yenari’s bib collection. This time, the source fabric was from leftovers of pajamas Yenari made for Yenari’s mom, me, my mom, and Duncan. We don’t know the gender of the baby yet, so Yenari’s hoping that the baby won’t mind some of the gender specific colors and designs and will be an equal opportunity burper. Check it out:
5 new bibs
Here’s a closeup of one of the bibs – Yenari made up the pattern herself.
A girly blue bib
As she did last time, Yenari used an old shirt of mine for the backing fabric. After 6 bibs, that shirt is not doing so well…here I am modeling it:
The sacrificed shirt, from the front
...and from the back
Not much left of the shirt, but Yenari thinks she can still get another bib out of it, after that I don’t know what she’ll do. The other day I caught her eyeing another of my dress shirts (straight out of the dryer) and she asked me whether I still wear it…so I better start locking up my shirts or putting them up somewhere high where she can’t reach them!

Obviously you could start a fashion trend with this deconstructed shirt. I’m wondering if you made the pattern based on the measurements of an actual baby, Yenari, or did you wing it?

I’m impressed with the craftiness AND resourcefulness!! You should start selling those hip bibs on Etsy

@Connie: I didn’t measure any baby necks, but I checked out a couple of bib patterns online and I helped my cousin make some bibs for her son about 2 years ago, so I knew the general size but I did kind of wing it…

Somtimes I think you chose a wrong major…;) Amazing work! I made a fabric ball at 9months and was knocked out!
