Purple

Contrary to what you're seeing in recent posts, I'm not really a purple person. I don't hate it, but it is down the list from yellow, red, and green as my favourite colour.

But I have purple fabric and I'm gonna use it!

Project #2 for the Stitched in Color curves class was a baby bib that I whipped up tonight. You know, after my marking was done.


I need a snap or some velcro for the closure. I might just put a button on it because it's not likely to be used by an infant anyway...there are none in my house or in my near future (right, OnlyChild?).

I used to make these types of bibs for the OnlyChild. I'd use up old pieces of denim and appliqué pictures on the front - hearts, apples, etc. I always used a button for the closure and she never once tried to pull it off and eat it. But maybe back in the '90s, parents were more negligent in general. Ha.

The next Curves Class project is a clamshell pillow. I thought about starting it tonight - maybe I still will. But it will also be nice to have something to look forward to for the weekend. That is, if I don't have yet more marking in my mailbox at school tomorrow...

I like that ha -- by today's standards, we were definitely negligent. My cute little twin mom at work is always telling me about the things that she can't do. I just think "hmmm, you seem to have survived it ok" LOL. Those bibs are darling!

All of grandsons' bibs have no fastenings -- they all just stretch over their heads! My DD's (commercially made) bibs, in the eighties, had little narrow ties -- so short that daddy's big clumsy fingers had trouble with them!

The polar bear reminds me of the polar bear in the old Woody Woodpecker cartoons. Cute bib!
