Armed with the information from Plush Addict's guide to the Best fabrics for Dribble bibs and some fabric bought especially for this purpose, I set to work.
First up this stag quilting cotton bib
with an appropriately checked flannel backing.
Then an alphabet quilting cotton front
with a Plush fabric backing. By now I was on a mission to explore lots of different fabric combinations! So next up was
a quilting cotton front
with a knit fabric backing.
Then a flannel front
with a waffle cotton backing.
A couple of duplicate combinations later and I had six bibs to send off.
When I showed them to my husband he wondered why there weren't seven bibs, one for each day of the week. So, of course I went back to the sewing machine to produce
More quilting cotton
with a waffle cotton back. The waffle cotton in this case came from a discarded dressing gown, so this was a thrifty version too!
So, these are all currently winging their way south, to help mop up the dribble from a certain chatty little chap! I shall let you know if any combination is better than the others at that job.
Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts,

These are so nice! I should make some for my youngest grandson. Thanks for the inspiration.

Heehee hubby was right - if you're up to 6, 7 is much more practical, lol! I do believe that the waffle cotton will win the (informal) contest ... and that the flannel will be a very close second :) All are cute ... but the stag fabric - oh my - yummy! That design is very close to the reindeer appliqued drawstring bags I did at Christmas, lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, I couldn't stop at 7, as it's an odd number, even though one for each day of the week makes perfect sense. Ha, ha... I'd keep going to 8 or maybe even 10. It will be interesting to see which combinations do the best job. They all look great, but I especially like the last one.
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky to have such a fab grandma!
