Blog resurrection!

Hey! Let's pretend I haven't abandoned this blog and jump right back in. 
After I got used to having a baby, I started making stuff again. I have a new Etsy store, called Corabora's Creations. I have been working on a prototype for a bow tie bib. 
I don't know about you, but I like a big bib. My kiddo gets food everywhere when she eats. Like, everywhere. Her hair to her socks. So I cut a pattern that makes a bib about 9 inches wide. 
For my prototype, I used some purple broadcloth I had left over from a quilt I made about 4 years ago. 
I busted out my ever-faithful Singer, and then the problems began. 
Something has gone awry with my machine, and I had to replace two needles because they kept getting bent. I hand sewed the edging along the top before I decided that's for the birds. 
So I crocheted a white bow to go with the white edging and stitched it on. 
I'm anxious for my model-in-residence to try it on. She's napping right now. 
I have a lot of fun fabric to make these out of, and a couple people lined up already. 
Happy new year and welcome back to my blog!
