Baby bibs and other gifts.

 One of my best and oldest friends recently became first time grandparents. I have been busy making some gifts for them. I already had a sample package put aside. I keep this for measurements and a reminder of how/what to do. So out came other supplies


I make these bibs out of a towel. It’s the easiest way. Buy a nice quality towel. Depending on the size I can get 6-8 bibs made. Cut the towel evenly. I then cut a 6” hole for the head. Add ribbing for the neck and add binding in the colour of your choice. No backing required because of the good towel used. The bibs can’t be pulled off easy and they cover a lot of the body front. Easy clean up.


I continued to make flannelette bandana bibs with the snap closures.
The holes cut from the towelling bibs I backed with flannelette and overlocked the edges. These became washable breast pads.
Also made, the new in thing, pee pee tents. To help when changing boys nappies.

And I love knitting these cuddle bunnies. I use soft thick yarn. Chenille works really well.




This is a super easy cute baby gift package.

PEE PEE TENTS....

After spending a day cleaning my sewing room I actually managed to do something this weekend. I haven't sewn on the machine in about 8 weeks....

Something easy to start with I think.

A colleague of mine is having a little boy and leaving work in 3 weeks. She wanted these TEE PEE TENTS made. I had never heard of them so I searched Pinterest. Oh, now I get it..
They looked simple enough. So off shopping I went.
Flannelette dinosaur print and a soft mint green towelling.


I traced around a salad bowl that was about 6 1/2" diameter.
I then cut it out, folded it in half 3 times and cut out 3 sections leaving 5/8s of a circle...
Cut out 1 piece in flannelette and towelling. Stitch them together...

These are very quick to make.
I used a 20cm strip * 1 m wide of flannelette and towelling.
I managed to get 8. You can't really see that it is a shape like a witches hat but they should be ok.
I think maybe I should have got a photo from a different angle. 


I got the idea after looking at many sites on Pinterest but this is the one I followed.
