Baby Bibs (118:365)

No pictures again.

Today I made a couple of baby bibs from fused plastic bags and estate sale binding tape. 

They are super cute!

Maybe I'll put pics up tomorrow.

Update.
Pictures of this cute baby sporting those cute bibs.







Lesson learned: make sure the plastic you fuse if thick enough for your purpose. I don't think this white bib will last long. The snaps I put at the neck are pulling a bit . Too bad, it's the cutest! I may make some of these for the craft fair. I'm still perfecting my design...

Baby Bib from Fused Plastic Bags (77:365)

This is what I made from the fused plastic bags I did yesterday.

Stinkin' cute!

I found the idea off of an Etsy tutorial page on fusing plastic. 

I saw the ones they had done and knew I could totally do it too! 

I'm loving it.

This side is made from some vintage fabric scraps, 

rick rack, and single fold binder's tape I found at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago.

And this side is made from the fused plastic bags, the little bird too.

I machine appliqued the birds and sewed around the edges of the rick rack because, as a mom, I know that some grody stuff can show up in tiny cracks near babies, so I wanted those suckers closed.

Now, I'm not going to lie and say it was easy, 

but nothing ever is the first time (at least not for me!).

I trouble shot a bit and played around with the design for a while, but in the end, it really was pretty simple and fun to do! Next time will be much faster. 

Look at this little peanut. She is a dolly.

We'll just pretend she is smiling because she loves the bib.

I imagine that this can machine wash, but then it will need to air dry because of the plastic...
