cute bib

A friend of mine is having a baby

in the next few days...

Obviously it has been going on

for while...

but some how, it just downed on me

that I had to make a baby present!!

So a little on the late!!

On my defense, she lives far away

and I have not seen her in a few years,

well it is my excuse

and I am sticking to it!

So I decided to make a few bibs.

I used this pattern from Nested.

(without the pocket)

I was also inspired by these bibs on Flickr.

I used some fabric left from an older baby quilt,

and appliqued the alligator and the zebra.

I think this one need a little something more,

may be another bear, with some background fabric....

Still thinking about it.

I do not know the baby's gender,

so I might wait a few more days to finish it.

The back is a chenille fabric, perfect for softness

and absorbency.

I lined the alligator applique with some denim

to give it some presence.

I also quilted the apples.

I hope my friend enjoys them,

they were fun to make....

so much fun, that I might make some more....

Happy sewing!
