Bibs for Newborns in Need

Over the past couple of weeks I've been working on some bibs for Newborns in Need.  I volunteer with NIN once a month and we put together layette packages for families with newborns in need.  We always seem to be short on bibs, so I was having fun embroidering these cute designs.  I love the little robots.  Troy is really into robots lately so I have several designs.

The little lambs should be nice gifts for Easter.

I fell of the wagon ... but for a good cause

Yes, that's right, I broke my fabric diet this week. Yesterday I went to JoAnn's and picked up 2 1/2 yards of terry toweling and 1 1/4 yards of this pink polka dot fabric. I needed to test out a hooded towel pattern that we're using for Newborns in Need.

I also learned how to use the applique stitch on my machine to put this cute heart on the towel.

This set turned out pretty good, and fairly easy. The hardest part was making the bias cut binding and ironing it to make it easy to sew on. With the fabric I bought I should be able to make 3 towels and 3 washcloths.

A few Bibs for Newborns in Need

I whipped up 4 bibs yesterday to take to my Newborns in Need meeting tonight. I volunteer once a month with Newborns in Need, we make up Layette packages for babies whose families are in need or crisis. We always seem to be short on bibs, so I put a few together quickly.
