Baby bandana bibs are so cute and great for catching drool. They also happen to be easy to sew! Heather Handmade has a tutorial and free sewing pattern for making a baby bandana bib. It takes just a fat quarter of quilting cotton or double gauze, plus a bit of hook and loop tape for a closure.

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.
This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.
It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!
At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
