Monday Making

Bibs!

Leftover flannel pieces make GREAT bibs.

The simple blog tutorial for these is here......

and there's a youtube video here

I plan on making a whole stack!!

What are you making???

Fun with Flannel

It took me a FEW tries.....

but I finally succeeded in filming a youtube video.

"How to make a flannel bib"

 

It only took me FOUR times......  ;/

 

It's still not perfect....

but perfect is NOT in my vocabulary.

 

I love simple.

I love homemade.

and

I love to share about it!

 

Isn't that truck fabric on the left cute???

I had JUST a little piece.

Perfect for a little project like this!

 

I'm all set up for a baby shower now!

I'll fold these up and wait for the next one.

I even have some choices!!!

LOL!

My heart was happy this morning

when I found this photo on instagram.

with the quote:

"Thinking of my mom while assembling my first quilt as a wife".

 

Isn't that sweet?

My daughter has been making/sewing things...

but this is her first quilt.

 

Guess who it's for???

:)

Her husband is a BIG football fan.

 

I told him it was meant to be.

 

My daughter was born on SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!

I listened to PRE-game interviews on the hospital television

during labor with her.

 

Ah...... memories......

 

 

 

Monday

It has become apparent to me

that when occasions come up.....

I can't arrive....

UNLESS

I'm carrying something

HANDMADE!

 

Good thing.

Usually.

 

I found out today

that my daughter feels the SAME WAY!!

and...

she doesn't mind asking me to make it!!!

LOL!!!!

 

Well...

when there's only 30 minutes....

You've got to get CREATIVE!

 

These little towels were in my stash.

READY....to become bibs.

 

 

And...

You can see that red and white gingham sheet again.

 

Probably the only reason I used THAT

is because it's still sitting on my SEWING TABLE!!!

 

Takes me a while to clean up after a project.

:/

How 'bout you?

These little bibs took NO TIME at all.

 

If you're interested..

I made them like I did here.

 

Now....

I think I'd better restock my stash with cute BIBS!!!

You never know when you're going to need

a QUICK HANDMADE gift!!!!

;)
