Bib and Bootoes

Matching bib and bootoes

I used the left over fabric to make a bib which also has the sheep motif from the quilt.

It was a great way to practise outline machine quilting.

The bootoes (I just created this word through a typo and will let it stay as they do cover the 'toes').

To create the pattern, I unpicked a store bought, mis-sized and mis-matched pair of cordroy booties. As they were two diferent sizes, I now have new-born and a six month size!

They were fun to make and I have subsequently made several others.

When my children were babies, I remember that they were always reaching for their toes and socks would go missing. These bootoes always stayed on and were easy to put on and off.
