I LOVE the pincushions, I’ve made so many and they are be-a-u-ti-ful. My 3 yo niece insists that they are cupcakes:-) Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Love the pincushion.
That tiny pincushion is so cute!
Thanks for all your help finding these tutorials. I have found so many new blogs to read!
I’m new to sewing, and I loved all the November tutorials! They were so inspiring! I was getting sad that November was coming to a close, so I am particularly happy that you have kept up the tutorials into December. Thank you!
Those bibs are adorable! I can’t wait to make one for an upcoming baby shower!
Love the pincushion and the bib. I made one of the pincushions last month and it turned out so cute. everyone comments on it when they see it.
What a great bib! Thank you!
Thank you for all the tutorials…love them!
I have TONS of kids I could make those bibs for and they look to be the perfect size.
The bib, the bib, the bib… thanks for spreading the message!
Wish I knew people with babies to make those bibs
Those are the coolest bibs–makes me want a toddler–you know, “I need a toddler. Git me a toddler!” Oh, never mind….
Thank you, thank you for the bib tutuorial!!! I have been searching everywhere for a bib that my daughter cannot rip off and this just might fit the bill. If I can just find time to make it on my very long (and getting longer every time I log on here) to-do-list!!!!
Love the bib.
Love the bib!!
I need to make some bibs. I’m so glad you keep posting ideas!
cute bibs!!!
Loven that bib! Big E needs some new ones (-:
Tiny pincushion=cute.
That idea with the jar is great. I may start that for us as a family as well. Then branch it out when we start having big family dinners again.
What a cute itty bitty pin cushion!
I “need” those bibs for my daughter! I’ll have to dig out the cute material from the stash and get busy. Thanks!
Wow, that 50s bib tutorial is great. Thank you!
your blog is one of my favorite stops on the web. Everything is right up my alley. thanks!!!
I made a lovely pincushion myself. Unfortunately I have no tutorial to share it with you. Anyway, I am sure that if you like it, you will easily make it yourself.
Thanks for sharing all these beautiful things with us!
wow! thanks for mentioning my blog! how exciting! i did finally update with some photos and a free knitting pattern! i may have to add the cute bibs to my “after christmas” list for my new nephew due in april! thanks for such great ideas!
Can’t wait to try out the bib pattern for my little drooler. It seems that the pattern will really cover and stay on well!!
Love the bib tutorial… I have a brand new nephew coming in just a couple of days – these will be perfect! Thanks!
I love the Dick and Jane fabrics. I bought a bunch of the series, but they have just been sitting around waiting for the right project. I’m inspired. Thanks
Goodness gracious! I have to enter! I love the little pincushions, as I haven’t had one before this weekend! Now I have an adorable little one… may post a picture on the blog about it tomorrow. Em (emandmikeyATaolDOTcom)
The pincushion and bibs are great.
I found this blog through bloglines a few weeks ago. I’m trying to learn to sew and have just finished my first project (the soft cubes). I’m taking on the apron next..
THANK YOU for providing this blog and collecting all these great ideas! I’m so inspired!
I LOVE the bibs! I’m thinking I should make a few to go along with the baby cubes!
Love the bib design! I’ll be making a few of those! Thanks for all the great gift ideas!

The jar idea is really nice. How great to make thankfulness all year long.

Thanks for the all-in-one most amazing tutorial post. Loved it all last month and am looking forward to more inspiration.
Thank you for the link to the bib tutorial. I think it will be much easier to keep a bib on the pixie monkey at meal times. Much apreciated.
Love the bib~~Thanks!
Those bib aprons are perfect for the projects my kids and I have been doing. I’ll need to whip up a few for them.
lucky kids
Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials in November your blog has inspired to me to do an almost all handmade Christmas for my lucky family
All the of the tutorials have been so fantastic. So many good gift ideas out there. These bibs look like no exception.
Wow, I was starting to anticipate a December let-down, but you just keep on and on and on and on…………thank you!
I just bought some great oilcloth at a flea market—I want to make the bib for my friends’ new baby! And I LOVE the tiny pincushion!
All the stuff is adorable! Love the bibs…too cute!
With friendship,
Lisa
I just love the bibs. They are inspiring me to get a bias tape maker. I think it would really make my projects look so much more professional!
The bibs look so sweet and easy! Just the pattern I need for all these friends of ours having babies!
That bib is so cool! Great for those of us who have wee ones who seem to be able to pull all other bibs off in seconds!
I love the tiny pin cushions! you can never have to many of them!
The bibs are great, I’ve been doing a lot of baby crafting lately and this fits in perfectly!
The mini cupcake pincushions are adorable. My cupcake obsessed 2-year old would be thrilled to find those on the tree when she wakes up Christmas morning!
love the bibs!
oh man! those bibs are the best i’ve seen yet.
I subscribe to your RSS feed, which shows a picture of some slippers for kids, but I can’t find a link or reference to it in your post. Can you tell me where to find the tutorial for the slippers? They’re adorable!
LOLOL I have to agree wholeheartedly with chilihead — the cuteness is KILLING me!
The little bibs are so cute.
Thank you SO much for all this inspiration. It has really helped me this holiday season
Excellent bib tutorial! Thanks!
Oooh that tiny pin cushion is just TOO cute!!
Those bibs are cute! One of these days, I must get on the ball and start making baby quilts or baby clothes for all of the babies that my family and friends are having. I feel like quite the delinquent older cousin! My older cousins and aunts were so good at sending home-made gifts and cards when I was little.
so very cute!! cant wait to try this out myself!
Love the bib — I’ll have to give it a try!
That fifties bib is just great! I like a bib that stays put.

I Love those bibs, they would make great presents.
Your right seeing those tiny pincushions makes me what to make a few as gifts.

thanks

Those bibs are adorable!
love that little pin cushion!
That fifties bib is adorable!
LOOOve the pincushions and the bibs . So many good ideas…just gotta find the time !!
I need to make a list as I scroll through Nov’s posts. As of right now, it is all in my head – no wonder I don’t know where to begin!
I just discovered this site through another blog. It’s terrific. Now I have ideas for all the scrap fabric I have stored up!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this past month! That bib pattern is SOOOO cute!
I love the bib! When my kids were tiny I could never get enough of these. I think I’ll make some for friends’ babies. The ones I had were always plastic which can be improved upon with fabric. Maybe I’ll try making one out of some flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth material and see how that works too.
I love those baby bibs! The fabric is adorable and I love how much “protection” it would give! Great idea!
Oooh, more links to keep glued to the computer1
I LOVE the bib tutorial. I will definitely be making many of these for my 2 year old and 9 month old. I also have quite a few of the November gift ideas that you posted on my list for Christmas sewing (which is somehow getting longer, not shorter! LOL)
Thank you for the great link. It is really nice to be able to come to one place for a bunch of good ideas instead of trying to think them up and then find them online myself!
I was just thinking about the tiny pincushions earlier today. I’ve got to make some.
I love the bibs! If you don’t quit finding such great things to make for the holidays I’m not going to get anything but sewing done.
Thanks again.
I’ve loved reading your tutorials and projects throughout the month of November. Great work! The little pin cushion in today’s post is cute enough to eat (without pins, of course)!
Those bibs are amazing! I need to get some laminated cotton to make some!!
That pin cushion is so cute!
The cuteness is killing me! Simply adorable…as always.
I’m so glad the project links will continue! I’m in crafter’s heaven.
wow I love the bibs. I will be making some of those this week for my drool monster.
Very cute bib! Now to get me some little ones to wear them!
love the tutorials!
Oh my! That pin cushion is adorable & I LOVE those bibs too!
Love the bib! I have been searching for a good bib pattern. Now I just have to get sewing!
The bibs are adorable, and there are always so many babies to craft for.
I love the bib design – so great how it wraps around the back!
Such cute bibs and pincushions! Thanks so much for always posting wonderful ideas…I can never seem to come up with anything on my own, but your suggestions always spark my interest! It was the highlight of my day to see what was posted here everyday in November!
I love those bibs! I, too, saw some of that fabric the other day and thought, “oh, I really like that, but what can I use it for?” Mystery solved! Great tutorial. Does anyone know the equivalent of 35cm? I’m assuming it would be about 1/4 of a yard since it’s a small thing.
Love that tiny pincushion!
Thank you for sharing the Fabulous Fifties Bib Tuturial! Adding it to my stash of baby shower gift ideas. So cute!
those bibs are perfect! thank you!
I love those bibs, I saw that fabric the other day and was wondering what I could use it for it is so great!!
