Beautiful Baby Bibs!


I LOVE sewing, but I'm not one for details or projects that take very long - which is why baby bibs are a perfect project.  They don't have to be perfect because they're just going to be spit up on anyhow!  You can easily finish one in an hour and you can use all kinds of scraps to make them.  The blue one above is backed with my hubby's old gym shorts!  Super absorbant!



I LOVED this pattern, though it was a little more time intensive.  I just used a set of coordinating fat quarters to match up fabrics and backed it with an old towel - again, lots of absorbancy!  Both of these patterns were free and found on pinterest!  ruffled bib link  and the chevron bib  with my own improvised ribbon flower.


What's your favorite fast and easy sewing project?

Christmas Braid

WOW!  Found this adorable hairstyle on Facebook, but no tutorial.  After hunting around through all the comments, I was able to find the original "creator" of this beauty - LORI!  Hair by Lori is where YOU can find her on Facebook.  She's planning on doing a you-tube tutorial for this style and I'm personally looking forward to it as my tree is a little skinny and doesn't look exactly like a tree, but was fun to try!


Are you doing anything fun with your girl's hair for Christmas?  What about your own?  I think the beautiful Compass Rose makes the perfect star at the top of this braided tree with the Crimson Joy as a present wrapping up the style at the bottom.  What do you think?

Adding our LATEST trial on Mimi with the Sparkling Snowflake - available January and the Festive Fallen Leaf - available NOW!!!  :)





Sadly - both the Crimson Joy and the Compass Rose (from the first pics) are sold out on my website www.lillarose.biz/ToDoGoodThings but I have BOTH of them in stock!  Contact me through my facebook page
