Following on from the Thrifty Christmas, Natalie from the fabulous Bambino Goodies has come up with a Trendy Bib which is easily made and would be a great inexpensive present for friends or family with babies.
Trendy bibs always go down well as they can end up becoming part of the outfit. They’re actually quite quick and easy to make, especially if you use a sewing machine, although it’s not too labour intense for hand stitching either.
You can make a pattern by drawing around a favourite bib, or if you’re sewing book mad like me, I highly recommend Aranzo Aranzi’s ‘Baby Stuff’ £6.19 (where I got my pattern) or Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing for Baby: 24 Easy Projects for Newborns to Toddlers, £10.39 both on Amazon. Choose fabrics that standout for a bit of quirk – this is a great way to get rid of scraps.

That’s a lovely idea. It’s been an awful long time since I got my sewing machine out but I think handmade gifts are always that bit more special
Gorgeous isn’t it, thanks for the lovely comment Lucy x
I type with shaky fingers as am feeling very rough after last night. Thanks for posting this – was good fun to make and I’m going to roll out a load more. I will post about this on BG tomorrow and link up x
