Dear Mom,
The day I made the new bib I was on a roll, and I made this reversible dress, too. I used some (seriously adorable) fabric I found at Joann’s for one side, and plywood print for the reverse for days she hangs out in Ron’s studio, which you can see in the second picture where the bottom of the dress is turning up.
Good lord, baby clothes slay me.
Love,
Ruth
Dear Mom,
I took a break from working on dog collars to start on my list of personal projects. I started with the quickest one to warm up my fingers and get me back in the swing of things: a flannel bandana bib for Meret. What instant gratification!
Before: (note Barfy McGee’s wet shirt. This happened the instant I took off her other bib. This photo shoot was very authentic, no dramatic reenactments necessary.)
Before, wearing one of the ridiculous hand-me-down bibs, one of the ones with horrible velcro that I can only wash with other horrible velcro bibs:
After, in her new flannel bandana bib:
After, showing me how she really feels:
It immediately got barfed on, and it did its job superbly! The wrinkles under her chin function quite well as liquid catchers, and I used the new plastic snaps you bought me (I figured it was better to practice on a little flannel before the more-complicated cloth diapers). Everything about this project, from it taking 15 minutes to its functionality, was AWESOME.
Love,
Ruth
