First I started with some cut fabric, just plain white and I fused with the fusible fleece to make it thicker and sturdier. You want a good fabric that can take embroidery. Ok now we are ready to draw some circles. I used a bowl and traced the edge of the bowl with a pencil. I needed it to stay in line.
Time to embroider! I found some red embroidery floss from Sonja's grandmother (which I love a piece of her still lives on!). Now I saw this embroidery on Pinterest here and I thought ok let's try it out. FYI the site is all in asian letters. I can't find another site so I do not know if it is the source. I thank them for putting this out there!
The stitch is really easy. Here I am starting
Sadly my camera died and well I kept going. Basically the baseball stitches go in opposite directions on the sides. I was really impressed that the stitches looked good! OMG LOVE!
So now I need to finish the bib. I attached a white piece of fabric I cut in my massive scrap usage. And then I decided to finish with bias tape. I went into my box and I have no idea how I had no read but I had this lovely blue. Actually I like the color combo
Here it is finished with the bias tape (hey curves are hard!)
Now time to add a snap!
Done! OMG I am seriously happy this idea worked out! Look how great this turned out!
xoxoxo,

Curves are so tricky with bias tape & you did such a lovely job on this.
I'd love to try something like this for my little baba. She spits up a lot (reflux) so she's always wearing a bib.
Love how perfect you stitches are!
That's so cute what a lovely idea
Just saw this from One Artsy Mama. This is so awesome! My brother is a total baseball fanatic and his wife is having a boy in a couple of months...this might have to go on the list :) Thanks for sharing!
