Smock-ing

I finally got the pattern made for this bib I'd been wanting to do for awhile. And although I realize I far from invented the concept of a smock, I think I've put it together in a way that will hopefully make it a little more practical to use.

Its lined with vinyl so its waterproof, and the fabric has been treated with Scotch Guard, so its stain resistant and washable. And it has a little vinyl food catching pocket in front-- well... to catch food;). So that's it.

I am happy about this because I think it will be a really useful practical pattern and can be made by super beginning sewers. Plus I haven't really seen anything like it pattern-wise out there.

So now there is just the small task of getting the pattern into PDF form and writing the directions...which sadly is always the hardest part for me.

I am really hoping to have it for you soon!

And aren't those the cutest little footsies ever! She's grinning cause I gave her candy if she'd stand on her high chair and pose. You should hear her say "a canie?" You wouldn't be able to refuse her either.
