I can't stop
September 04, 2007
There was no way I could make just one. This time I got all crazy and made my own bias tape.
I am in love with the brown and white gingham on the bias. Crazy in love.
This time, I remember to take a photo of the back, too.
In case you were wondering, there will be more. I can't stop. And I don't want to either.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the bias tape too!! :) What a great job!!!

love the bib! and any color gingham on the bias is fantastic.
do you have a bias tape maker?
Posted by: amandajean | September 04, 2007 at 02:21 PM
Just lovely.Where's the bias from?
Posted by: Kristy | September 04, 2007 at 02:23 PM
Yeah, Erin, these are insanely cute. Almost enough to make me want a baby so he or she could wear one. Almost. I love the patchwork and the embroidery.

Once again, adorable. Makes me want to make one for my soon-to-be! Both the names have been cute, too--your friends have good taste!

OH, that brown and white gingham is the best!
Posted by: Rachel | September 04, 2007 at 02:51 PM
Very sweet.
Homemade bias tape (especially homemade GINGHAM bias tape) is the best.

So adorable!

oh for the love of a handmade bias! beautiful! xo (been meaning to ask - and it is probably somewhere here, but what kind of sewing machine do you use?)
Posted by: tracy | September 04, 2007 at 04:44 PM
With all of the cute baby things to make I feel the need to have another baby!...hmm not just yet *wink wink*
Posted by: Amy | September 04, 2007 at 04:54 PM
Uuuuuummm I am having a baby, his name is Jack, you know just in case you want to make me one too......LOL
Posted by: KeanaLee | September 04, 2007 at 05:07 PM
Since I'm done having kids....Do you make adult size??? I'd love one for me :o)
Posted by: erin s | September 04, 2007 at 06:14 PM
oh....too bad my baby years are o.v.e.r........(yes, i am sad about that)
these are too cute!
Posted by: leslie | September 04, 2007 at 06:53 PM
Too cute! Handmade bias tape (actually cut on the bias even), embroidery, patchwork, all in one bib. Is there nothing you can't do? Not to mention sock knitting and zipper tutorials! Argh, too much talent!
Posted by: Steph | September 04, 2007 at 07:13 PM
So lovely. I think you did a beautiful job and the idea is so great. I want to try making something similar in pink linen maybe...hmmm...the wheels are churning now. :)

I love the fabric on the back! I just invited that photo to my "Color Challenge" on Flickr, because it's the perfect color for this month.
Anyone else reading this is welcome to join the group, too - the more the merrier! http://www.flickr.com/groups/pdccolorchallenge/

Oh, Erin! This might be one of my favorite bibs I've ever seen. I don't think I could let my little one use it... Hayes is one lucky baby. Did you use that bias tape maker tool by clover? Everybody's always talking about that and I'm trying to figure out the hype. Keep going I say... more, more, more!
Posted by: Heather | September 04, 2007 at 08:02 PM
Also, do you mind sharing where you get your labels from? thanks...
Posted by: Heather | September 04, 2007 at 08:03 PM
LOL I get like that too! With a beautiful design like that you can't just make one.
Posted by: Felicia | September 04, 2007 at 08:14 PM
I'd almost wear this one myself! (Judging from my splotchy tshirt collection, I really should.) No, there's not stopping; I'm a bit of a bib-making addict. The only thing that slowed me down was the fact that I ran out of recipients, but I'm starting to get the itch to start up production again.
Posted by: meg | September 04, 2007 at 09:22 PM
So pretty that I'd almost wanted to make one for my 8 mth old 'cept that I dont have a sewing machine (I cant sew). Heh.
Posted by: Karen | September 04, 2007 at 09:32 PM
no need to stop. they are lovely. i hope the mom's you give them to actually use them. instead of trying to preserve the bib's cuteness!
Posted by: lesle | September 04, 2007 at 09:46 PM
Seriously?! AMAZING! You go girly!!! Your bibs rock!
Posted by: Pink Ric Rac | September 04, 2007 at 10:02 PM
Can you PLEAAASE do a tutorial for this one when you get time??? Please? With sugar on top! :)
Posted by: Pink Ric Rac | September 04, 2007 at 10:03 PM
too. perfect. to. stop!
Posted by: heidi | September 04, 2007 at 10:53 PM
Such a cute bib! Can't wait to see more of them:)
Posted by: Chara Michele | September 05, 2007 at 12:09 AM
Really sweet, Erin. Love the colors!
Posted by: Stefani | September 05, 2007 at 12:34 AM
oh, i wouldn't bear to use this bib!
Posted by: clara | September 05, 2007 at 02:09 AM
Very nice. I love brown at the moment too, just don't have any.
Look out spotlight.
Posted by: Fiona | September 05, 2007 at 05:13 AM
I can see these easily becoming your hallmark - gorgeous!

I have been away a couple of weeks, what a treat to catch up on your blog, so much lovely stuff going on here.

I don't know which I like better--the bias tape or the label. That label just slays me. Oh, and the gingham! There's a lot here to love! --Frances
Posted by: frances | September 05, 2007 at 09:01 AM
Cute, cute! There's something about gingham bias tape that is irresistable!!
Posted by: beki | September 05, 2007 at 09:50 AM
Very cute! I have one of those bias tape makers...it is a fun little tool. I actually prefer to make my own- there are so many more color choices that way. How do the bibs fasted? Snap? Velcro? Button? Tie?
Posted by: Libby | September 05, 2007 at 10:22 AM
So cute... I just love the green with the brown too!
Posted by: Julie | September 05, 2007 at 10:43 AM
Making bias tape is fun -- er, wait, USING homemade bias tape is fun, isn't it! I just finished stitching up a bib in similar fashion. :)
Posted by: Anne | September 05, 2007 at 11:25 AM
We must be on the same wave-length. I am making the same ...bibs, bibs and more bibs! :)
Posted by: SilverLining Designs | September 05, 2007 at 02:28 PM
Love the bias tape, these bibs are gifts any new baby would love!
Posted by: kelly | September 05, 2007 at 05:39 PM
Love this (such great colors!) and look forward to seeing more!
Posted by: angelique | September 05, 2007 at 08:17 PM
The bias tape cutter does sound like such a nifty tool - beautiful results!
Posted by: Sonya | September 05, 2007 at 10:43 PM
These are brilliant bibs and it reminds me I'm behind on my bib project! I love the colors you use and yes, I've been wondering where you find your labels. I once sourced for some pretty posh labels when I was doing bags, but I really like the simplicity of label tape. My embroidering on twill just doesn't cut the mustard. Would you mind sharing? Oh, and have a peek here, Erin: http://monkeyporkbun.typepad.com/monkeyporkbun/2007/09/nice-matters.html
Posted by: gena | September 07, 2007 at 01:44 AM
Hey, nice bibs you've made. I've been working on some too. They are pictured on my blog.
Posted by: Alisa | September 07, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Erin this is fantastic. You are so so talented. I really want to get more into sewing and crafts, and it's bloggers like yourself that inspire me.
