More Recycled Quilted Bibs!

These bibs were made of old shirts!


I also "pieced" the back of the bibs, just for fun!


So after making a total of 8 bibs of this style and 6 of another style....I think I'll take a break for two reasons. 1. I have run out of babies to send them too. 2. Halle is rapidly growing out of her diapers and I need to start sewing the next size up!

4.5 Months and cuter than ever!


This morning Halle started sucking on her toes...

YUM!

Halle is getting more and more interested in rolling over....occasionally she will roll over by accident, but most the time when she is tired of being on her tummy she just screams...

Her feet are her new favorite thing...showing off her purple camo leg warmers!

My new obsession is...

...making bibs! So far I have made three different patterns and my favorite is the quilted bibs you will see below....I put 3 of the bibs in the mail this week to a friend who just had a baby, made a couple for Halle and now have about 4 "boy" bibs setting on the table, ready to sew!


Used a tutorial online to learn how to applique letters!

This is my favorite pattern...quilted bibs!
They come together really quickly and they are great for using scraps. I made these two bibs for Halle out of fabric I found at the thrift store. The fabric only cost 0.45 cents and I actually have enough left for another 5 bibs!
Shopping for fabric and "recycling" material from old shirts is my new source for fabric. I had been looking at "designer" fabric online for months but being that we are still saving for a house I couldn't really justify paying $10 + a yard for fabric and instead of feeling sorry for myself which I did for a few minutes...I decided that there must be a cheaper way to "feed" my sewing hobby.
And low and behold there was! Thrift Stores!
Halle modeling her new bib...I don't often put bibs on her because she doesn't relly drool or spit up much...she wasn't thrilled when I put this on her....this is the only picture I got where she wasn't trying to pull off the bib or eat it. :)

I will post the "boy" plaid bibs made from one of Dereck's old shirts tomorrow after I finish them!
