Armed with the information from Plush Addict's guide to the Best fabrics for Dribble bibs and some fabric bought especially for this purpose, I set to work.
First up this stag quilting cotton bib
with an appropriately checked flannel backing.
Then an alphabet quilting cotton front
with a Plush fabric backing. By now I was on a mission to explore lots of different fabric combinations! So next up was
a quilting cotton front
with a knit fabric backing.
Then a flannel front
with a waffle cotton backing.
A couple of duplicate combinations later and I had six bibs to send off.
When I showed them to my husband he wondered why there weren't seven bibs, one for each day of the week. So, of course I went back to the sewing machine to produce
More quilting cotton
with a waffle cotton back. The waffle cotton in this case came from a discarded dressing gown, so this was a thrifty version too!
So, these are all currently winging their way south, to help mop up the dribble from a certain chatty little chap! I shall let you know if any combination is better than the others at that job.
