The Great Pillowcase Challenge: Bibs for Dummies

Name: Amanda

Business Name: Bibs for Dummies

What was your creative process: I love simple designs and bright colours, both of which feature greatly in the fabric I choose for making bibs and nappy pants, so knew exactly what fabric I was going to choose. Stashed away in my fabric box was this gorgeous owl and turtle fabric I had purchased over a year ago. When I purchased this fabric I thought it would be fantastic for bedlinen. So for this project it was perfect!! 

I'm not one for following patterns well, so after reading several pillowcase patterns, I decided to grab one out of the linen cupboard and use that as my template. Sewing up the seams and the flaps wasn't as challenging as I first thought. I also learnt a new skill, applique. I have always been interested in this technique, so this project was the perfect opportunity tp learn. 

I hope this pillow case, with its bold colours, brightens a small child's day.
