Striped Baby Bib
Designer: Sherelle Christensen
With two baby girls, it seems like I always have to keep a bib on them or their food ends up all over their shirt. I get disgusted when I buy them cute outfits and then end up having to put a tacky bib over them. I decided to create a little bib that has a little more style. I simply pieced together scrap fabrics that I had left over from other sewing projects and used a store bought bib for a pattern. Now Katie's shirt can stay clean while she still looks stylin'!
