I made a couple of vinyl bibs on Friday. However, I'm in somewhat of a rutt for what to make next. I have so many items in my shop already that I'm quite honestly running out of room to store everything. I'd like to sell some more items before I bury myself in baby stuff! So, I took a break from baby items and made new pillows for our bed. They came out perfectly! Have I found my new calling? Possibly. I'd love to start a home decor shop, as well as a jelly shop- which would include jellies, jams, relishes etc (all things canned).
So anyway... I got this fabulous Kate Spain Fabric from Lola Pink Fabrics. This shop is great- a huge selection of absolutely perfect fabrics and great customer service! I went based off of the idea that I had for a pocket pillow in my head... which is unfortunate because I wanted to make two but ran out of fabric. I have a few rough measurements, but no pattern so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the second one comes out similar to the first! This was my first attempt at button holes. I was quite terrified by the prospect, which is why at all costs I've avoided them until now. But I was up for a challenge, and if I do say so myself they turned out splendidly.
My next challenge was piping. I had investigated a how-to on youtube. Did I every mention how much I love youtube. So helpful. Anyway, I used the fabric from the pillow above for a contrast and went from there. It was a pretty successful first attempt, albeit timely.
So, I'll be posting up those bibs this evening on etsy. And don't forget to give me your e-mail address if you'd like to be signed up for the bimonthly newsletter from Le Bébé Nest! Be the first to find out about new products, sales and discussions. Edition No.1 will be coming out this week!
Always,
