repurposed nappy



One would think that I have enough to do with packing and organising for The Trip, but obviously I like to live on the edge........ and packing has been relegated for next week! Instead, I zipped up these four little bibs out of an old tie dyed nappy that was too thin to use for a tiny bottom. This small girl is a dribbler and badly needed something to catch all that drool - can you see the dark marks on her mamas top?  


I sized the pattern to fit four on the nappy and used a selection of leftover flannelettes for the backing, finishing them off with a button and machine made button hole. 
That was another item crossed off my ever so long list!!!  


And tonight we drew the winner of my give away........ we used the Random Generator Hat and The Mechanical Multicoloured Arm! Well, alright we gave the Best Man the privilege of drawing a name and getting a mention here.....!  

So, knitgirl66, I'll be sending you these Tassie goodies just as soon as I can get in touch with you! 



Joining in with Natural Suburbias Creative Friday again. 
There are always so many creative items over at Linda's on a Friday that I spend too many late nights looking through - well worth it though, just for the inspiration! Thanks Linda!!

  9. My son had something similar that my aunt made. They were big fluffy tea towels ...and she sewed the neck off an old t shirt in the middle. They kept every bit of mushy food off him and I loved them to bits.
