More Kid Stuff

I work in a middle school. We have teams. My team consists of three women and one man. He's a man-man. And a MAN-MAN at that. I equate him to a rutting bull moose. He's dirty, profane, and amusing. His life just changed in a very big way with the arrival of his first born child in July. Seeing as I go back to school Thursday, I've made him some baby gifts. He'll be gruff and uncomfortable and say something like, "Uh, thanks, hmmmmm, I'll give these to L (his wife). She'll really like them. Uh, thanks, really." Then it will be back to business as usual and we'll talk about hunting (I know some) or engine parts (I know nothing).

My daughter is modeling the bibs I made him. I'm not sure what is up with the hands-in-the-air-weird-pose. All the embroidery is from UrbanThreads.com.

They all all backed with laminated crab microfiber that Paulette gave me. She has the most interesting fabric scraps. She got them from Chez Ami & Chez Belle. If you sew for children you have got to check out this site. They have knits and wovens and the prices are really good (like $3.50/yard in the clearance section). And, they have matching ribknit!!!!! I figure the microfiber will keep the clothes a little bit dry. And it's so damn cute!!!

This is my favorite design of the bunch. I wish there was more contrast between the background and the dandelion puffs.

I found this free pattern by googling, "free baby bibs." I added a link on the right under the Favorite Sewing Tutorials link. Ok, now some me sewing . . . damn kids.
