My little niece just celebrated her first birthday with a ladybug themed party. We wanted to make her something special and found this bright yellow fabric with ladybugs on it. Seeing it, we decided to make her a bib! We also picked up quilting material, polka-dotted ribbon, rick-rack, and ladybug buttons to accessorize it with.
Juby and I took a whole day together to sew and created our own pattern, figuring it out as we went along. The quilted material is inside the layers of fabric to add real protection from food while in use, and the zigzag rick-rack "quilts" the layers together.
The ladybug buttons are hand sewn onto the top corners where the ribbon for tying is inserted. We picked up a half yard of each fabric. When we got home, we were delighted to be able to make a bib for both my niece and my grand-daughter, and to put away two for gifts! If you are related to me and are expecting a baby girl (or might be!) watch for one of these coming your way soon!
