Old fashioned goodness with a modern twist!

Hopefully you can tell now that the new item is a baby bib! I finally took the time to work out the details of the vision in my head, and I sure hope others find them as cute as I do.
~*~
~*~
First, I found and modified an antique bib pattern. Then, I dug through my collection of vintage buttons to find just the right ones to complement each color.
~*~
~*~
It took me several tries to get the "finishing touch" just right. What I attempted initially was just way too busy. The bow is simple and sweet, which is exactly the look I was hoping to achieve.
~*~
The details: Each bib body is made from silky soft 100% mercerized cotton. These can be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, but handwashing is best. Lay flat to dry. Price: $20

I value your opinions, and would really appreciate hearing your thoughts, questions, and/or suggestions about the design, price, photos, etc. Thanks in advance!

Your bibs are wonderful! They look, not only beautiful, but functional, design friendly, and comfortable! Machine washable is another terrific feature as are the color choices...endless!! You have hit upon another "sosorosey design sensation"! Good Luck with your newest "baby"!!!
Jennie these are so lovely!
As they are special occasion bibs made with care and attention to vintage detail I think you expect to pay for that.
Have mentioned you in a post today re: vintage sheets, hope thats ok Jennie, but I am on laptop and can't do links! Will sort that out soon and will share with you what I make with your lovely fabrics!

Ahhh! So cute! They are simple without being too busy, yet still remain elegant and classic. Well done! <3
OMG--these are so deliciously cute, Jennie!!! I love them! They look like little shirts--shirt protectors.
I bet crocheters out there would love to buy the pattern--you may want to consider a PDF for this too. I've sold my PDF of a doll blanket many times. As you know, there is a great DIY market.
