table manners

Someone needs to work on her table manners, but until then I made Little E a bunch of neckerchiefs to put an end to her, albeit lovely smelling, milky neck and this little cheese factory she regularly develops in the many folds of her chubby throat. She runs through 3-6 a day, so the pile below shows only the half that was not residing in the laundry basket.

I merely gauged what the neckerchief should look like, drew a triangle with a slightly round curve for the neck and stitched some animals on the front fabric before sewing the soft jersey back (old T-shirts) right sides facing to the über-absorbent front fabric. If you are looking for instructions check out this Kristin's bib tutorial. To sew a neckerchief instead simply modify her pattern a bit by creating a triangle and lengthening the ends 3 inches or so on every side so that you can tie a knot and need no velcro. And if you have a messy baby like me, it might be preferable to use a spongy fabric like terry cloth for the front fabric.
