Baby news is always exciting, so when Renee and Alisa told me they were organising a blogging baby shower for Jenya, I was straight in. I’m a practical person at heart which means I like to give practical gifts. Something that will be used over and over again. The Mega Bib was one of those baby items for me. They provide great coverage and the snap up crumb catcher is perfect for catching dropped bits of food. The bibs roll up easily too so they are great for on the go.
Given Jenya’s Russian background, I begrudgingly cut into this Onion Dome fabric from the Little Kukla collection from Robert Kaufman I have been stashing for a couple of years. I am sure Jenya will love it as much as I do and it looks wonderful on the bib. For the other bib, I used some Cloud 9 Organic Scribbles in orange. Keeping with the bright unisex theme, both bibs are backed with lime green polar fleece.

Best of luck Jenya for the weeks and months to come! Enjoy those newborn baby snuggles. Take a look at what everyone else on the baby shower tour is making here:

Thank you Abby! Being a practical kind of gal I do appreciate these gorgeous colourful bibs! the size is perfect! I was not sewing when R was a baby and was constantly frustrated by how small the bibs in the shops were! I feel lucky you decided to use these fabrics for a pressie for our bubba, thank you! Thank you very much 🙂

The crumb catcher is a great addition, Abby and will ensure the bibs are used over a long time. Gorgeous fabric!!!
