Big Kid Bibs...

This month I've made 5 bibs as my contribution to Kristy's sew-along, over at Hopeful Threads, in support of Hidden Treasures Home of Loaves and Fishes International.


I've used the Big Kids Bib pattern, by Fishstick Designs. It's super quick and easy to make. I've backed my bibs with flannelette and used pre-loved t-shirting as an extra internal layer for added absorbency.


Originally, I bought this flannelette on sale, to use as backing on a future quilt. It was, however, a good colour to go with the Happy Town fabric I used on the bibs.


How lucky am I? Last month I won a fat quarter bundle of Happy Town fabric, courtesy of the Fat Quarter Shop and Hopeful Threads. Now, apart from the fact that this fabric is just SO cute, it was designed to support Quilts for Kids. You can read more about the story behind the fabric collection, over on the Fat Quarter Shop blog, Jolly Jabber.

I've only used a small portion of the fabric I won. These are my favourite fabrics out of the ones I've used so far.



You can see more bibs made in support of the sew-along, for both kids and adults, over at the Hopeful Threads Flickr group.

    Those are great - the kids will have fun wearing those bibs in such fun prints! My favourite is the print with the dogs and cats :D

    Love the fabrics you used.

    Both these and the adult bibs look like great causes to contribute to. I'm going to get going on some.

    Yes, my son is still messy past the little bibs made for babies :) He's one, but he's almost wearing the same clothes as his 3 year old tiny brother. We are starting a link up party on Thursdays (today:), and we would love for you to join us with this post and/or any others you would like to include. We are at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you there!!

    Awesome bibs! It is so perfect for those big kiddos that still a very messy eater. Very nice fabrics and I like the idea of using pre-loved t-shirting as an extra internal layer for added absorbency. Thank You for sharing this with us, it will help a lot, especially for those who are aspiring to be a great bib sewer.

    When my boyfriend broke up with me 4 weeks ago..

    I did everything to get my boyfriend back but nothing worked.

    I contacted a relationship doctor i saw online.

    I told the relationship doctor everything,

    He promised to fix my relationship problem.

    I am the happiest lady on earth right now,

    Never too late to fix your broken heart.

    You can still get your lover back...

    Fix broken relationship/marriage...

    My relationship was restored as promised,

    My Ex-boyfriend came back,

    He promised never to leave me again

    Everything happened just in 3 days..

    I RECOMMEND YOU TO __________________
