Fast easy Baby Bib ...or....Mean Green Blue Jeans! (pt 5)

Ok....I SERIOUSLY think I need to go to UPCYLEaholics Anonymous!  Except....that would mean I think this is a PROBLEM and I need to STOP.....NO WAY!!!!!!!  hehe

Here is a bib I had a blast making!  Sorry about my crazy tutorial...follow if you can!
Trace a plate on a piece of card stock.

Trace the bottom of the plate over the top of the circle (neck cut-out).

Cut it out and label it so you don't  pull it out someday and say "what is this thing?"!

Use the template to make a cut-out from your old jeans.

cut scrappy strips and-- an embellishment strip(not pictured)

Serge baby, serge!

make button holes, attach embellishment, and SERGIFY(technical term..hehe) !




Cut open button holes, lace in serged straps, and tie knots.
Enjoy your cute little bib!

    love the simpleness of the pattern...i have an embroidery machine so i think instead of the decor strip a cute design would also be a nice idea

    Thanks! This looks easy enough for me! Was looking for an easy idea, and we save ripped jeans and aother clothes. My two teen daughters and I are going to each make one, each in a different size (different size plates). Decorate our own,etc. They will be for my great niece. I think I am going to cut mine out around a back pocket. Look forward to seeing how they each turn out!
    Thanks again,

    This is WAY cute! And so easy to make with your great tutorial. I can see adding a piece of lace to the embellishment strip for a baby girl.
    Thanks for sharing. I love it.

    O, I agree-this is just so very cute , yet simple. Plus, you are breathing life into something you already have!That sounds like a win-win to me.
    Thank you so very much for sharing of your talent.
