any cool bibs out there?
November 5, 2006So our baby is a drool monster and although I always said I’d never have a bib baby, I now have a bib baby. Little D has sensitive skin so we have to keep a bib on him to absorb all that liquid. And the big problem? There are no cool bibs. None. There are some cheap simple ones at IKEA (can’t find them online), white terry with colored edging, but once washed they went all wonky, like a cheap tshirt. And of course we received a ton of ducky, doggy, and teddy bear bibs. At first I refused for him to be seen in these outside the home, but I’ve become a bit immune. No more. I decided to make a bib, since I had a lot of leftover white flannel (which was originally going to be a crib skirt for his mod IKEA crib). Cut out two bib shaped pieces, sewed a few blue lines across them, then sewed right sides together, turned right side out, added some velcro and voila. Now the only problem is I have to find the time to make more.
just a note to say two reasons this bib is so good and cute on little D is not only its simplicity (not baby cheesy) but it is also much shorter than a normal bib – sleek, just for the drool issue
