Sewing pattern: Upcycled bibs from outgrown baby clothes

February 18, 2019 by Anne Weaver

It’s no secret that babies grow fast. Sometimes that special outfit gets worn only once or twice before it’s too small. Cathi from Scratch & Stitch has a great idea for those outgrown baby clothes – turn them into bibs! It takes a lot longer for a baby to outgrow a bib, so you’ll get lots of use. This is also a great project for baby clothes that have gotten stained, especially you’re able to cut the bib pieces in a way to avoid using the stained portion.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
