The only thing is that I have to "ever so impatiently" wait for is to see whether these gorgeous babes are actually girls or boys which ultimately will influence the material that I decide to use. In the next 4'ish weeks, another three new babes will join the world on their earthly adventure (2 friends and my beautiful Sil will welcome new babes), two have already arrived, a gorgeous little girl born at home in the last week, and a beautiful little boy arrived this morning.
After thinking about what it was I would like to try, I thought I'd give the simple baby bib a go first. Make a chickpea bib was the pattern that I tried tonight using some of my left over max new fabric from Jaida's skirt (these bibs are for a gorgeous little (um ha .. big) girl) .. lol
It was a very easy pattern to follow, I used medium interfacing on the patterned material to give it that extra soft quilting feel, and the back is from my red christmas material (this is like never ending material that goes on and on and on! (lol)). Therefore the bibs can actually be reversible, and once made right side out, they have been top stitched around and joined with a velcro dot.
Caleb, Jaida and Jaxon's bears model the chickpea bibs
Flash is off to try and highlight the colour of the fabric more.
I'm really pleased with how they turned out and how heavenly they feel upon the hands. These will go to the gorgeous little girl. For the little boy, I'm off to the quilting shop tomorrow (I think its' open from 10-3pm??) and am going to try a baby blanket using 1 yard cotton/flannel, 1 yard minky, 2 yards quilt batting and of course some coordinating colored thread (so wish me luck!)
