A New Bib Design

I've been working on more bibs this weekend for Elizabeth and to list in my Etsy shop. I finished 5 today (except for the velcro), 4 of which are using a new design for front-fastening velcro. These types of bibs are much easier for me to remove after feeding.

OH! I just realized that I posted my first bib, but haven't posted the second batch I made! So, here you go. I've added bibs to my Etsy shop, too.

A New Bib

After reading some of the information on recent bib recalls over at NotChinaMade.net, I decided to take some of my fabric that I used recently for a diaper and make a bib!



The back makes good use of an old towel and I included a velcro closure on it because I hate to tie things around baby's neck.

This took all of about 5 minutes to make! Think I may use some of my extra fabric & list some in My Etsy Shop to go along with my tag blankets!

And the test drive... it works!

Another Fitted Diaper

The last one worked out so well that I decided to do it again! This time I used alpine fleece for the outer, which makes it waterproof! NOW I'm really loving this diaper!!! (except for those pins!)

The inside is purple floral flannel I got off the clearance rack at WM for $1/yd! Below, the pocket in the diaper has been stuffed with one microfiber towel.

And it did work! She slept in it for an about 2-hr nap today. She was wet inside, but the outside was still dry! I have a feeling I'll be making more of these puppies...

I've probably made more tag blankets since I last posted here, too. Check my Etsy Shop to see what's new.

Blue Jean Blanket

Almost finished with another one like this that features pink & purple ribbons & back. These will be listed in my Etsy Shop.

More Tag Blankets!

When I sold one of the tag blankets I made below within 20 minutes of listing it in my Etsy Shop, I decided to make more! : ) So I got busy this weekend and made 6 more blankets out of my new fabric!

Just listed on Etsy, and first up is my ladybug tag blanket. These turned out so wonderfully. I used that minky fabric that is as soft and smooth as butter! Elizabeth went nuts while I was making this one, so she got one of the ladybug blankets to keep! See pictures of her with her blanket on my personal blog.




Groovy alien fabric sets apart this boyish tag blanket. Since my first blankets were rather girly, I was striving for something more suitable for a little boy.






Here's another girly girl blanket. This one is backed in purple satin.









Another one for the boys - this one is backed is super cute "ocean friends" flannel that is really soft & snugly. This one is one of my favorites, too.








Another girly blanket... this one has magnificent backing fabric - huge purple flowers with strawberries. I loved that fabric!

I will be listing these throughout the week in my Etsy Shop - take a peek!
