So I started out with a pale pink bib. Alicia said she loves pink and brown. I wanted to give her something she would really like. I added a brown heart with fusible webbing stuff.
I thought about adding a trim but none of the bias tape I could find matched the brown heart. I thought about adding multiple hearts in various sizes. Again, I did not care for it. I thought about adding words. But nothing worked. I was flat out stuck.
But I had sewn the bib really nicely I could not just throw it away. Again I told myself it is a bib, it doesn't always have to be a work of art- it just needs to prevent food from getting on the baby. But I was still frustrated as can be!
I went to my trim stash and saw what I had. I realized I did not hate adding a brighter pink rick-rack trim to the edge. So I added that. And since I didn't hate the bib I just left it like that. Something simple. But it kind of reminded me of a ginger bread cookie for some reason. I think it was probably becuase of the rick-rack.
Again its not fancy, it is not a work of art, it is just simple. Something to catch baby food/spit. :)

I think it looks nice and crisp and modern. If you wanted to play up the gingerbread effect, you could do white ric rac and embrodery around the heart.
ReplyDeleteI like sewing for babies too, but mostly it's been slings. I did make a pair of baby shoes (like Robeeze ones) from stardustshoes tutorial. Very cute. And I just came across this tutorial:

Thank you TracyKM! :) Those shoes are absolutely precious! I have seen a few baby shoe tutorials and eventually I will try them out. Thanks for the link! :)
