Last week I made some bibs for Maxine. Now that she is eating pureed solids, it can get messy! I took some of Markus’s old T-shirts and quickly made them into bibs for her. I have the idea from Corinna Olek’s blog. Hers are a lot nicer with velcro. I should really order some velcro to make mine a bit nicer. I didn’t sew them exactly like Corinna did, instead I did it quick and dirty — just like Maxine eats. I turned the T-shirts inside out and traced a pattern from one of my favourite bibs. I then just sewed around the markings, while the shirt was still inside out. I cut the shirt along the outside of the seam and turned the bib right side out. I stitched along the collar. The picture below is what you should not do! I first started to stitch while it was still inside out. This creates a problem when trying to turn it right side!
I then cut and finished the ends of the straps. Like I said, I want to add velcro so it is easer to put on and off of Maxine. But I wanted to try it out first. The size and material is perfect for catching anything from sweet potatoes to salmon puree.
What do you think? Should I use velcro, or just tie them? Although I like how the normal collar fits over her head without any fastening, it is too big. What should I do next?
