Denim and Red Cot Quilt

So here is a picture of the cot quilt I made for my tiny niece.  Like the bibs, it's made from denim jean scraps I had lying around. I just love the colour combination.  I think little Miss Skye will too!

Baby Bibs

Welcome to one denim bird...

If you happen to be reading this it is my first ever blog post  .....  and I'm scared. 

I have been collecting and more to the point, hoarding fabric for many years and I NEED a creative outlet to keep me sane so I thought I'd start a blog to keep a running track of some of the many "things" I sew.  (Sewing - it's a bit of a hobby of mine!)

Lately I have been referring to the Internet more and more for sewing tutorials, advice and inspiration. 

The blogs I have come across are so colourful, helpful and inspiring I thought

hang on a minute ..........

I think I could try this too

so here goes ... 

I  love denim and red together.  They sing!   My sister has just had a baby girl (after 3 boys) and I wanted to hand make something cute and special for my tiny niece.  Too many bibs never go astray with a new born babe in the home so I made these cutey pie bibs for her.   They feature red knit fabric for the backing and bird applique on the front.  The red hearts fabric in the background is the backing for the cot quilt I made as well.   More of that soon ...
