My Creative Space – A baby gift
Irene (from Missy Minzy)’s baby Peanut is due in a week or 2, so I made her this baby bib (she got it in her mail yesterday!)…
This bib is reversible, so there’s not really a front or back.
I quilted the batting onto a green mouse fabric, cos I think a bib would be washed quite often, I didn’t want to use iron-on! The sewing lines are not exactly diagonal, but I think it turned out pretty good!:)
I attached a stamp tag of the birthday girl’s name onto the pink side and I think the running stitches around the edge also gave it a nice touch!
This is my first attempt at making a bib, I initially thought it’s a bit small, but maybe just perfect for a new born!! The bib is based off this pattern from a Japanese website.
After making the bib for Peanut, my sewing machine is officially packed away due to moving!!! So I turned my attention back to crocheting again! 
However this is another failed attempt of a crocheting a beanie, it’s once again TOO BIG! Probably due to my crochet hook being fatter than what the pattern suggested, I really need to go and buy a set, it’s so annoying not having the right hook size!!

The running stitch is a lovely detail. Love it.
how cute! i love your new yarn work… can’t wait to see what you are making. my tote is done and still working on my i-cord. once i have them both ready, i will felt them in the washer.
Love that little bib! Did you use fabric ink to stamp the little tag? It looks great!
Super kawaii~!
ha ha! You can now unveil the secret project for my lovely Peanut, Jo!
Everyone who seen that bib commented what a beautiful job you did!
Thanks for the gift once again!
That deep brown colour is beautiful. As for the bid, what a perfect baby present, it turned out amazing. Being reversible is a great idea.
That’s a lovely present for a new baby. Good luck with the beanie.
How funny that our beanie problems are the opposite of one another. Mina are always too small and yours are too big. Your crochet is AMAZING! I can’t believe how quickly you’ve picked it all up.
Those bibs are so cute.
I can not believe how many blogs I have come across via MCS that have crochet in them. Yours looks really lovely.
What a gorgeous bib! You really do make some special things!

I saw Peanuts beautiful bib over at Irene’s yesterday. Such a thoughtful and adorable gift. Hopefully you will be able to turn the beautiful piece of crotchet into something else if it’s to big for a beanie. The pattern and the colour are so nice.
I really like your blog… I’ve never been here before but the hessian-y background makes me feel all earthy and good! and your photos are beautiful – even if your beanie turned out too big it’s still a gorgeous piece of crochet (with Jo Sharp yarn?)
jo, get the clover set! they’re comfy, I think
Hey, my friend has the clover set! i think i mite grab it when i go to japan:)
Love the bib. So pretty
The crochet is very nice. I think crochet in black is so cool.
I do agree that clover crochet set is the best. I have one and totally saves my fingers.
