I didn’t make them but they are my favorite bibs and my 2yr old likes them because she can put them on and take them off by herself.

Great ideas Kathy..and the used robe is right up my alley! Be so careful though…buying clothing for close is VERY addicting especially if your local thrift shop does ‘stuff-a-back’ haha.

My mom used to buy dish towels and cut a hole in the middle and then sew trim around it. You just pull it over the babies head. I always loved those.

Blessings,

Love the idea of using terry cloth – ‘specially recycling some from goodwill! I’ve been making receiving blankets for my friends for a couple of years now. I just buy flannel and have it cut into one yard lengths. I put right sides together, and stitch (leaving opening to turn) then flip it right sides out and do some kind of decorative stitch around the edge. They end up being big enough that my kids used theirs for two years! And they are warm for winter babies. For summer babies, I replace one of the flannels with a cotton fabric. I think the receiving blankets sold in the stores are just too small to properly swaddle babies… especially after a couple of washings. This idea gives PLENTY of blanket for a good, tight, cozy swaddle!

I pre-wash and then do a little turn hem on the cut sides. The result–a nice sized receiving blanket which mom can use to cover herself and baby during nursing. I made several for my grandkids and now I do them for my daughters’ friends who are having babies. I use the blanket as “wrap” for a set of onesies or similar gift.
