DIY Bandana Bib – Free pattern

The bandana bib is that must have item for new babies, and an excellent way to start fearless sewing. It was the first product on my etsy shop, and it inspired my search for the best fabrics for drooling babies. So, I thought it would be interesting to share the pattern I created for these…

Boy Shirt

There are lots of clothes I made for my kids that I never posted about. This shirt is one of them. I made it last year, and what I love the most about it is that my son specifically asked for it, after he saw me making this set of a Ema Romper and Wayne Shirt…
