The Three B's...Bibs and Burp cloths for Babies was a hobby I started two years ago. I have never sewn a thing other than taking a one-time course in Home Economic my senior year in high school so that tells you I really didn't have much experience. Thanks to my mother-in-law, Barbara, for lending me her sewing machine and for her numerous help in the past.
Last year, I decided to go on ebay & browsed through variety of fabrics and they had darling materials to choose from...bright, colorful and cheery fabrics from designers like: Michael Miller, Robert Kauffman & Alexander Henry.
All burp cloths are dyed from home kit dyes with matching colored ric-rack trim. And the bibs has the minky mink dot fabric on the backside-so super soft and thick. The bibs are sized for 6 mos.old up to toddler years.
The reason I got motivated into doing something I never dreamed of doing was when Maddie was an infant...she would constantly spit up so much I was used to keeping several burp cloths around the house. It was hard to find stylish & cute bibs & burp cloths , but affordable ones that wouldn't cost more than $20 a set.
I am thinking of doing other things to sew like child-sized aprons and nap mats, but the bibs & burp cloths are my main expertise and every time I make them for someone it brings me back many fond memories of Maddie's sour spit-ups. Ha! Ha!

Your bibs are very cute! We still have tons on spit up. I don't think it is ever going to go away.
