Bandana Bibs x 3

I have am truly enjoying working with and learning new things about my embroidery machine.  I am the type of person who does not want my time to be wasted on practice pieces that wind up in the trash or the Goodwill box.  So I am constantly looking for a project that can be given as a gift or used in my own home.

My oldest nephew recently added twins to his family.  What a perfect opportunity to make some baby bibs and add a personal touch with embroidery.  I settled on the bandana style bib that is popular for boys.  Since the expected twins were boys it was the ideal choice.

I found the bandana bib pattern online at Simply Small Wonders. The pattern has several sizes and the instructions were easy to follow.  The twins have a brother that is just 12 months older so I made a bib for him to match.  I embroidered the fabric first and then cut out the pattern.  This made it easy to get the wording centered.

For the twins I embroidered Little Brother on each front
before I assembled the bib.

I added one for the big brother also.

The bibs were made from fat quarters of a soft grey with white polka dots.  Each bib is fastened by a pearl snap. 

I made a second set for the twins out of traditional bandana fabric in red.  One can never have too many bibs especially with twins. 

Second set for the twins in traditional bandana fabric.

Used a pearl snap on this set also.

This bib was quick and easy to assemble and provided another opportunity to practice my embroidery skills. The bibs turned out very cute and made a practical gift for these two special additions to our family.
