It turns out that the baby has her dad's sensitive skin. When she was born last summer, it seemed that everything gave her heat rash. I got this bright idea to make a bunch of baby blankies, wrap style carriers, and other baby things out of bamboo jersey that I ordered on Wazoodle. Since they were having a sale, I rationalized that it cost less to buy 6 yards than it would've cost to buy 4. And then it occurred to me that someone may have already thought of the idea of using bamboo jersey to make a baby swaddler and onesies.
On several occasions, I've also been inspired to try quilting. Or rather, I've pieced quilt patterns and bought materials.Ummm, I have a lot of fabric.
So anyway, I got motivated and stitched up 6 bibs, two in each of the patterns shown here. The cute prints are from fat quarters, the back side is bamboo jersey, and I recycled some of those small flannel receiving blankets for use as an absorbitive liner. All they need are snaps. Since I don't have one of those snap fastening tools, I bought some snaps at Walmart that came with a little plastic contraption to hold the snaps while you hammer them through the material. It's late and the kids are asleep, so the snaps can wait until tomorrow morning. :)
