Baby Bib

A dear friend of mine called me this week excited to tell me that she made a baby bib for a baby shower. This reminded me that I have also made a bib before. I managed to find it and took a picture of it. OK, I still have to attach a velcro or some sort of closure thing, but you get the idea.

By the way, this is one of my favorite fabric pattern... love the apples and pears.

So here is the thing I don't understand... babies are sloppy and they always manage to make a mess. Bibs are made so that their clothes can be kept clean, so why do we spend time making them from scratch? I mean, I didn't just make it, I designed it! I sketched so many different versions before I finally got the "curve" the way I like. Then of course, my sister in law showed up one day with her newborn and a bag of "disposable bibs." But of course, who said I have make things that are useful right? As long as I enjoy making them!?!?
