Tutorial: Make a bib extender to lengthen neck straps

by

Craft Passion shares a tutorial for making a bib extender, essentially a piece of ribbon with velcro at either end.  When fastened to the back of a bib, it extends the neck piece of the bib to accommodate a growing baby’s larger neck.  Brilliant!!  And made out of pretty grosgrain, it’s cute to boot!  (You’ll need to match the closure type on the extender to the closure type on the bib.  If your bib uses snaps, you’d need to put the same size snaps at the ends of the extender.)  Get the tutorial.

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.
