Softness Sunday - Your baby needs one

During my last visit with the SOLON family (my daughter's in laws), I was so excited seeing all the new additions to their family.  If you remember at the beginning of the year, I posted about making some bandana bibs for the first time for Dianne's third child.  After seeing Brantly, it occured to me that he would be needing a bigger bib since he's grown so much.  So when I returned home, I started checking out some fabrics that was left over from the set I made for him.  In addition, to making a bigger big, I promised them that it will be much softer fabric.  A combination of soft flannel and soft baby towel cloth made these new creations the softest baby bandana bibs you will ever have.  It's one of those item that I believe every baby should have.  I hope that they both like the ones I will be sending them.

Soulful Sunday - Baby bibs versus older father or mother bibs

Sometime ago I featured some of the bibs that I made for Greenly (step granddaughter). This past week, my supervisor at the Senior Center where I volunteer asked me if I would have the time to sew a couple of bibs for her father.  Since I was looking for some new projects, I agreed to make it.  After completing two manly bibs, I decided to make another senior that comes in and have lunch at the center.  She is the only one that uses a bib because she does not want her clothes to get dirty just in case the food drops or drink spills.  Here's my completed project.

First one with a pretend tie.

Second one with a pretend bow tie and buttons,

Third one for Rosemary who comes for lunch at the Senior Center

It's the circle of life.  You were them when you are a baby (small and short bibs) and then again when you get very old and lives in a nursing home (long bibs).  If you have a relative that is currently in a nursing home and would like one of these bibs, please send me a comment and I will make a couple bibs for the.  I think I made some for my father at the request of my mother.  I know I did not make them for my mom.
