I wanted to make a small and very simple gift for them to welcome these new arrivals, so I got a couple of little Bonds long sleeved tops and added an applique, then made up a matching bib.
A few of the EB girls - Ingrid and Corrie have been making bibs and they were so sweet I thought I'd give it a go.
These bibs are not as practical as those made by Ingrid with the wipe-clean finish, they are just two pieces of cotton (pink with white dots on the back) with some ric rack on the front. I was going for more of a 'going out' bib for dribble rather than a feeding bib kind of look!
I used a very simple pattern I found ages ago on the Nested blog and the fabric shown here is Japanese, a piece given to me by Corrie when we met up. (Similar fabric is available in her Retro Mummy shop.)Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of the other set - it was white with a heart applique in coloured heart fabric and matching bib, with of course the pink dotty fabric on the back.

Karen I love the top and bib, that fabric is a favourite
Awww what an adorable set! I planned on making bibs and appliqué singlets and tops but didn't get around to it. Looking forward to getting some sewing time soon, am missing it terribly!
ohhh, that's so cute Karen. Your friends are lucky to receive such gorgeous gifts, made with love :-)
