Sewing Project #3, Awesome Bib!

Hello Blogland,
I have yet again beaten the sewing machine into working properly!! YAY.  I'm so excited about this project, and love the fact that I made everything by myself (with a bit of pinning help from Josh, because I didn't want to cut my big sheet of plastic that my mom gave me).

Okay so here's the tutorial I used (complete with pattern).  I first saw the 'Bapron' (yes I hate the name, but don't know what else to call it) on this blog where this lady tried it and failed because she used bias tape that was too thin and an ultimate pain in her butt!  However, she linked back to the original tutorial that I used, so that's how I found it.  Now here's the one I made!!


I know it's hard to tell how big it is, but it's going to be for Nova, who is under 3 months right now (2 and a half ish?), so I don't think she'll have a problem fitting into it.  Maybe I'll make the boy model it for me so I can get a feel for the size, see if I need to make them a bit bigger.. I'm sure he'd love it.

So the tutorial said to use flannel as a backing, but I've used plastic sheeting that my mom gave me (thanks Mom!!).  It should still be machine washable, but just using cold water I'd think... and may not work in the dryer... especially my super-heat-creating European dryer, that think will cook things I'm sure!
Here's the back:


OMG I'm so happy with this project!  I can't wait for them to get used!  ( I say 'them' because OBVIOUSLY I'm going to make like a million more...)

However, my next project is a fitted crib sheet, or two.  I have finally found the fabric I like IN STOCK and it's in the dryer right now. Soo  After lunch and a bit more house work, I should be able to at least get started on that!

Wish me luck, and thanks for looking,
Mandy
