When I saw this tutorial for a bow tie bib, I thought they were adorable. I knew it would be perfect for the baby’s Easter outfit. I love to make everybody (my kids) match at Easter and Christmas. They are used to it by now, so don’t complain too much. 🙂 And the girls wore their gold shoes.

I am a major procrastinator. Since we didn’t have regular church on Easter Sunday because of general conference, and you know I didn’t get it done ahead of time, I did it Sunday morning. Before church. While my poor Mom finished my oldest a daughter’s dress because I didn’t finish that either. As long as you are smarter than the snaps (I wasn’t) this is a quick and easy project. I used a bib I already had, that fit well, as a pattern. I sewed the button placket shut on the boy’s white Sunday shirt I used. Then I cut out the bib shape from the shirt and another one from an old, soft, hand towel. I sewed rights sides together, flipped, pressed and sewed the opening shut while I did a seam around the whole thing. I had a little trouble with the snaps, because I’m an airhead. I was using my crop-o-dile to attach them and kept using the wrong side, smashing the snap flat. I get a little ditzy when I’m in a hurry. 😉

I used this tutorial to make a bow tie because I needed something fast and removable. I didn’t like the look of the sewn on tie for church. You can see in the picture above where I attached it with a safety pin. 

He looked pretty dapper. But he was hungry and tired after church when I finally snapped a picture. 

Let’s face it, we all were. 😉
