Kumamon Baby Bib for My Boy


Do you know this bear? It's called Kumamon bear. It is very popular in Hong Kong and of course, in Japan. Iis a mascot created by the government oKumamoto Prefecture, Japan. You may take a look at wiki to learn more about this bear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumamon).

I think the fabric is cute so I use it to make a baby bib for my boy. However, my mom doesn't like it because it is blank in colour. >.< This is a very traditional Chinese thinking, who thinks black means something unfortunate. Anyway, I like it. 

I will also list this as a made to order item in my etsy shop.

My New Attempt - Baby Bib

Since my boy was born, I always wanted to make baby bibs for him. I have envisioned many cute bibs and how to make them in my head for many times. Finally, I put my thought into action!! I drew the pattern using one of his bibs. I am quite satisfied with my project this time although my 13-month boy did not show any interest or appreciation on it, as expected. XP

I used a high quality quilted linen fabric as the back. I know most people use chenille or flannel. However, I don't know where can I get chenille or flannel in Hong Kong. Last week when I was shopping in a local fabric shop, I saw a high quality quilted linen fabric and I thought I could use it as the back of baby bibs. This quilted linen back make the bib sturdy and absorbent and I really love it! 


Although I have a boy...if you know me, I like making girly things more, so I made this hexi patchwork bib. This one is listed in my little etsy shop now.
