Project 1 Bib - Sewing machine arrived today

look
My sewing machine arrived today ...wooohooo..never really thought I'd be excited about that!

I had a little go at making a bib for Isabelle - nice and simple to start me off..

I used an old pink fleece jumper and lined it with really soft bamboo/cotton velour, with a metal popper on the back (my kam set hasn't arrived yet!)

I just cut the fabric slightly larger than a bib shape I like, put the fabric right sides together and stitched round the edges. Obviously left a couple of inches in one of the ends, turned it inside out and finished that off by turning both pieces of the fabric inside - was a bit fiddly and didn't look all that neat but I wasn't sure of a better way to finish it.
It must have felt nice and comfy as she didn't tug at it once, always a good sign!
