I bought Amy’s book last weekend and had occasion to use it.
Bibs:
My favorite tip from Bend the Rules Sewing is to just trace the pattern on a rectangle of fabric and sew right on the line BEFORE cutting it out. Genius!! No trimming seam allowances after sewing, and less than perfect cutting is a-okay because it’s already sewn.
I really want to try the scallop edged blankey, but is that too girly for Ian? Hmmm…
You could make it out of some of Barry’s old BDUs. Is that legal? Then it wouldn’t be girly at all. Even if it does have a beautifully scalloped edge.
I agree with glittersmama, as long as the material is more boyish, the scalloped edge won’t matter. Besides, you could always just use the scalloped edged bib at home…
those are adorable – and i think that amy’s book is my kind of sewing!
