This is what I made for my friend Cindy & Daniel's baby! I am very pleased with the plane bib.(That's my last bit of that fabric.) The bibs are from Amy Karol's "Bend the Rules Sewing".( you can visit her here http://www.amykarol.com/) I love this book right now. All the projects are quick and simple and fun. BUT, I did have to have James enlarge the patterns 'cause I couldn't figure it out. Thankyou, love!I drew the frog pattern based strongly on a frog pattern from a library book.
The shower was so nice, and I got to chat with some friends I don't see often! Amazing how my community of friends/acquaintances is so connected.

These gifts were so adorable! You do awesome work!
Love them, so cute!
we LOVED your gift. (he still needs to be named) but Carl is definitely happy to have a little buddy. but seriously between the frog and the amazing bibs I just couldn't get over them! the best things about homemade gifts is how personalized they can get: planes, frogs...THANKS!! :)
bags soon to come right? :)
julia...i was wondering about the bibs you made...did you sew them right sides together and then turn them inside out? if so, where did you leave the seam opening..on the bottom, side or around the neck? and also..i can't remember what you used to back them with?
Anita...I did sew the bibs right sides together, the opening is on the side. I topstitched around the whole thing so I didn't have to hand sew. They are backed with cotton flannel. try the bib tutorial here... http://nested.typepad.com/blog/2007/07/something-to-ma.html
