I was in need of a quick baby gift I could make from things I had around the house. Since they came out so cute I thought I would share a little about how I made them.
I happen to have a stash of blank baby bibs (from Ikea) in my sewing box that had been waiting for just this occasion. My favorite baby gifts so far are the flannel blankets I made for Tillie but I didnt have time to shop for fabric and run it through the washer for this project. Perfect time to bust out the bibs.
First I gathered the necessary materials:
Blank Baby bibs, cute fabric for applique, stiff card (from my recycling bin), ruler, pencil and cutting devices for card and fabric.
I did a few different designs but these photos will show how I made the star.
I drew a star and added a seam allowance using my ruler for guidance:
Then I cut out the stencil using an exacto knife and a ruler.
I transfered the shape to the applique fabric using a pencil and then the shape of the fabric:
To tuck the seam allowance under I had to cut slits to the inner corners:
At this point you could use the iron to press the seam allowance under but I was too lazy, so i just pinned it to the bib. I did press the seam allowance for the circle because it was too difficult otherwise.
I sewed the star to the bib by hand using an invisible stitch (maybe called an applique stitch? im not sure). Since I was going to zig-zag around the edges I probably could have gotten away with basting but it didnt take very long to sew it properly and then I didnt have to remove any stitches. 
I used the zig-zag attachment for my Singer 301 to make a reinforced (and decorative) edging around the applique.
I also made a circle and a patch of a VW pop-top camper bus.
Hopefully the little guy will like them!
Those are really cute bibs. I’m sure they’ll be as well-used and loved as Tillie’s blankets. They’re still an essential part of the little girl’s nap experience.
