HANDMADE BABY BIBS & BURP CLOTHS

After my son Colton was born and I became a stay at home mom, I returned to my crafty roots and begin sewing and crafting again. And what better way to start than to make baby items for my lil pumpkin! I drew up some patterns for my first few items and began sewing! Before I knew it, I had tons of bibs, burp cloths, etc. for my son and several set aside for our next bundle of joy. They ended up turning out so cute that I soon had requests from people who wanted to buy them from me.  I think they really like the idea of getting all different fabric patterns instead of the same old ones from the stores. Since they have become such a big hit with people, I decided to start selling them online for people who just don't have the time or patience to make them.

MATCHING BIB & BURP CLOTH SETS MADE WITH LOVE

In the past month, atleast six of our friends have either had a baby or announced that they are expecting! Totally exciting right? Well, with all this baby talk comes what else but BABY FEVER! My hubby and I have begun talking about adding the next little bundle of joy to our family. And while my baby fever is in full effect, we've decided that we won't start trying until after the holidays. But since I can't seem to erase the subject of babies from my brain, I figured that this would be the perfect time to do some baby related projects.

For a long time now, I have been one of those people that cannot walk into a fabric store without leaving with TONS of cute fabric (even if I have no current plan for it). I have accumulated lots and lots of baby/kid related fabric and I wanted to put it to good use. One of the projects that I decided to make was a Baby Bib & Burp Cloth set.  As soon as people saw how cute they turned out, requests started pouring in for them. Not only have I made them for friends and family, I have been setting some aside for our next baby. They are super easy and relatively quick to make!  I will also be setting up an Etsy store so that my less crafty readers can purchase them.

These sets are made from pre-washed flannel fabric, printed on the front with a coordinating solid color on the back. The bibs have a snap closure on the neck. I will also be making some with velcro closures and placing them in my Etsy store. Once I set up my Etsy store page, I will post the link.
