Molly's Sketchbook: Quick Bias Tape Bib

bib3

linentape.jpg

This little bib is the sweetest, quickest baby shower gift. It's made out of Michael Miller Organic Fleece so it's as absorbent as it is soft. The new Kokka Haikara makes a pretty and functional crumb catcher pocket. Best of all the whole thing comes together in less than an hour by using our new Captain 88 Linen Bias Tape from Japan.  Before we got in this bias tape I thought I would never like pre-made bias tape. I didn't know you could find it in pretty colors or natural fibers. But this bias tape is 100% linen and comes in a lovely, soft palette.

This project is so easy and satisfying to make that you might end up making more than one! If you'd like to give it a try you can follow along with my Quick Bias Tape Bib Project Journal. --Molly
