1, 2, 3...

The other day I was at babyGap admiring their bibs when I remembered ~ save your money, girl. Make your own. So, in my stash I found the perfect dusky flower print from French General (Pom Pom de Paris), sat down, drew a pattern and stitched it up. Then I found a bag of Livi's baby things and pulled out an old knit dress and a swiss dot bubble onesie that are both stained down the front ~ perfect for cutting up and giving new life. So I made two more bibs...

The two knit bibs are truly special because the dress I made them from was bought nearly 16 years ago from babyGap and both my daughters wore it. First it was Anne's... (see her in it here in 1997). And then Livi wore it in 2009... (see here). Call me cheap or call me crafty, I was pleased as punch to give new life to this little dress that now all 3 of my daughters will get to share. It was a little hard cutting into it at first ~ but once you get started it's nothing. The ruffles on these bibs were made from the dress hem, and the back of the pink one is lined with Livi's old bubble onesie. I'd bought two of those adorable rompers at the time, and one is still in perfect condition so I'll get to see the new baby (who still has no name!) wearing it, too.
