Baby Bibs

I've not really been doing as much crafting as I would like to recently. In fact, I've not really been doing enough of anything I'd really like to recently.  I have to get my head around the fact that I haven't the same level of energy or stamina I had pre pregnancy because otherwise I'm just going to end up frustrated and exhausted.

But at the weekend I did manage to steal a couple of hours and make these simple baby bibs.  Actually they're refashioned ones - I bought some cheap, plan cotton bibs and appliquéd some baby friendly shapes onto them. It's the first thing I've made for our baby so far so it's a bit of a watershed.  I think I'm really starting to accept the fact that there's more than likely going to be a baby at the end of all this eating and sleeping!

We don't know what the baby's gender is yet so I've done a mixture of colours - this one's pretty good for a boy but I've done a 'girly' one too:

Plus a couple of nice, bright ones that'll be good whatever the sex (I think I like the neutral one's best actually - who says girls need all pink and boys are all blue?)

Very cute, I hate the blue for a boy and pink for a girl thing, what a load of old toot!!! You do what you like. Good luck for the scan

My grandmother told me over 35 years ago when my daughter was born, that blue was for girls and pink for boys when she was a new mother! How times change? Maybe we can switch back

Hi - are you able to share where you picked the bibs up from? They turned out really well!

[Marie]

Oh, these are so cute!
So, how did you make them? Did you handstitch or machine-stitch the appliques on? Did you free-hand draw the shapes or did you use cookie cutters?

Oh I so know the feeling of not being able to do as much as you're used to - I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, and still puzzled by how much slower I am. Very cute bibs!

Hi!

I just saw your post @ Wardrobe Refashion. I'm just days away from giving birth to my first baby, and it's been so damn hard. But I craft too. I've made heaps of stuff for him, repainted a change table, recovered a baby bouncer, made a stack of little soakers for his little bottom. I'm a rock + roll mummy though, so it's not all pretty stuff!

Anyway, if you wanna check it all out, just go to my blog :)

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! You think you have no stamina now, wait until your almost ready to pop!

The bibs are very cute. I especially like the waffley one with the car applique.
