Dinomite (A Baby Bib So Easy I Did It)

I've been making little items for my little guy. He's scheduled to arrive in 2-3 weeks! So, it's crunch time!
I've been working on bibs for my little guy. I've tried a few different tutorials, but being a true novice to sewing, I've struggled with finding one that I can actually make look cute. I finally found one that was simple enough for me with some modification. It's not professional quality but it is definitely functional and made with love!

Here's my third attempt at a baby bib. If I can do it, I'm sure you can.

Items needed:

Pattern (Sew4Home)
Pins
Ribbon
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Fabric (two pieces of fabric measuring 14" x 14")

Steps:

With both pieces right sides facing, fold in half.
Align the pattern foldline and the fold. Then, pin the pattern to the fabric.
Cut around the fabric.
Unpin and unfold the fabric.
Pin both pieces together right sides facing. Leave openings at the bottom (for turning on right side) and at the top (adding ties)
Sew a 1/4" seam around the edges. Do not sew the openings.
Turn the bib right side out.
Fold the bottom edges in. Sew closed with a 1/4" seam.
Cut two pieces of ribbon 6" long.
Insert one piece of ribbon into each opening at the top. Fold in the edges.
Sew a 1/4" seam (reverse stitch).
Iron the bib.

Time Required:

30 minutes

Check out my bib (before ironing). I love the size. I'm proud that it actually looks functional - a vast improvement from my other attempts.

Let's Mix It Up

Hey Loves! It's been a while! A long time! Life has been so busy. I always enjoy the challenge of making myself something a little different for an event. As I made plans to attend the UNCF Birmingham Mayor's Masked Ball, I decided I'd make my dress. It's a combination of a new pattern and a tried and true pattern. I think it turned out well. I visited JoAnna's for a little inspiration because I didn't have time to wait for items to ship and Simplicity patterns were $0.99. I saw Mimi G's Simplicity 9370. The cut out spoke to me. I decided that the right fabric could make it dressy enough for the event. I found this beautiful fabric in the athletic section in JoAnn. I walked past it 3 times and kept coming back, so I bought it. It was also 20% off. I made a muslin of S9370 and decided I didn't like the neckline for a formal. So, with very limited time (3 days before the event), I decided to try to incorporate the cut

NL 6519: I Knew It From the Start

Hey Loves! I'm back. It's been a minute! I've been busy! But, I took a quick break to make something for me. Top & Headband: By Me (New Look A6519; Cotton from Wal-Mart); Jeans: Target (Similar); Shoes: JustFab (Reeta) I saw the cutest yellow and black polka dot fabric in Wal-Mart on clearance (2 yards for $1.87). When I saw it, I immediately thought about New Look A6519. It's just one of those patterns I pick up often and put it back because the fabric isn't quite right. Well, this was the one. I got home and printed one of the croquis from Golden Rippy . I took a few minutes to sketch it out. I enjoyed it so much! After sketching, I knew jeans would be perfect. Each time I try a new pattern, I have to read the directions thoroughly...usually 2 or 3 times before I start. After reading the directions, I got to work. The directions were so straight to the point and easy to follow. I decided this pattern was perfect for practicing French

Queening

Hey Loves! I'm super excited about this post! Over the years that I've sewn there have been two young ladies that always tapped into my creativity with really fun formal designs. This young lady has chosen beautiful fabrics for her formals. Here are two designs I've created for her: She's gorgeous! Her fabric choices are beautiful! I'm always excited to talk to her and her mom about her ideas. Although I really wasn't sewing this year, when her mom contacted me, I said yes. Of course I did! They are family! I was super excited about the inspiration. Look at this video. It'll inspire you too. Then, they brought the fabric and my heart smiled! 😍 The bodice of the coat is an adaptation of New Look 6481. I cut the front of view D at the waist. I extended and curved the back edge. The bottom of the jacket is a full circle skirt. I used the skirt pattern in the Iris Ensemble from Mood Fabrics . I added a few inc
