Bandana Bib / Dribbling Bib

Now that my child blows raspberry and dribbles non stop, I thought I would make a bandana / Dribble bib for him.
It looks so cute and I thought that I could definitely make some myself.
So here are the instructions.
Ideally you will need to different pieces of fabric. One of them I made towel and jersey, other I made flannel and towel.
Any absorbent fabric really would do, but I like the idea of towel ish fabric to absorbe the dribble and stop it from getting into his t-shirt. Specially now that the weather is so cold here in sydney.

You will cut a triangle of fabric. the base/wider side should have around 43 cm.
So fold in the middle and allowing 2 cm to give it the needed shape (its not a perfect triangle) measure from the end to the middle 30 cm.
I reckon the drowing will make more sense.


You can do it with paper and use it as a pattern, or you can do it with one piece of fabric and than cut the other one based on the first one.

Anyway, put right sides togethers and sew it around, leaving a 5, or  7 cm opening to turn it to the right side.
after you turn to the right side sew it all around (and this sewing will close the opening).






Put a button or a piece of Velcro, and Voilá.


Does that make sense?

Que pasa con las relaciones reales????

Si, es verdad! Después de orkut (o antes, en realidad no lo se) vemos una proliferación imensa de sitios de relaciones, intercambios, grupos, personas, deseos, fotos, y lo que nos imaginemos. Orkut Flickr Last.fm 43things Blogs Fotologs etc, etc, etc. Será que ya llegamos al punto que somos tan dependientes de la tecnologia que no somos capaces de salir de casa y hacer amigos a la moda antigua? O será que virtualmente hoy en dia nos parece mas facil porque podemos pintar la imagen que queramos y es una manera de esconder la realidad? Que pasa con la realidad? no se...este post va a tener parte 2...lo voy a pensar un poco. por favor, diganme que opinan??? De cualquier manera, apesar de todo lo malo que se supone que puede tener, o que esta pasando con el mundo, tiene su parte buena, como compartir la musica que yo escucho, que es lo que les pongo ahora mismo! Que disfruten... y que las amistades virtuales se hagan cada vez mas reales...

First week of Mat leave

I'm on my first week of Maternity Leave. Well, I'm actually unemployed, given I was a contractor and my contract finished last Friday. But also I'm going to have a baby soon.  Today is Wednesday, and I don't really feel like doing anything today. I'm accepting that, since Monday I was busy the entire day doing a paid research and also needed to take my Son to the doctor. Yesterday I went shopping in the morning and that tired me up so much, and then in the afternoon I started what looks like will be a long process of organizing my house and cleaning / organizing what soon will be the nursery.  Today I took my son to the nursery and my husband needed to take the car to be serviced, so I took the bus back and walked the 1km from the bus to my house. I got tired after that, and now in the afternoon I had dr. appointment.  seems like baby is fine :)  So that's it. I already cooked and did the washing. So much for not doing anything. :)
