Loving all the refashions here recently - just SO much inspiration!
I thought I'd share something I've been doing for a while now, and sort of take for granted - making baby bibs as gifts for my friends who are New Mums.
It starts with an oilcloth table cloth, and is so easy to do, it almost feels like cheating!
(What's that all about? Something has to be technically difficult to be worthy? Apparently so!)
So... the Before picture you see is not so spectacular, being that it's just a table cloth, and a much deserved coffee!
When you've had your caffeine kick (!), cut the table cloth down to size, sew on some bias binding, stick on some Velcro (or 'hook and loop tape'), and add a ribbon & tag, and you have a wipe-clean bib ready to give...
Happy Refashionings... See you soon!

This is brilliant! I wouldn't have thought to do something like this but it's a great gift idea with a little extra sentiment!

Thank you Rachel! Yes, I've been surprised by the response I've had to them; my friends have been really touched... It's great when you can give something practical :)
How cute/cool/awesome/smart is this!!! Great idea for tablecloths...I always see cute ones but never buy because we just don't use them. Now I have an excuse for picking them up ;)

Thanks Andrea! And yeah, there are some really cute designs out there- you start looking at table cloths in a whole new light! ;)
