Cub has been growing out of his sleepers so quickly (and crawling so much) that he's literally wearing holes in the toes and knees of his cotton sleepers. I can't really repair them, and it's so sad to have to toss an entire sleeper when the rest of the fabric still has lots of life left!
So I came up with a way to fashion them into bibs, using the back and button.
I then backed it using an old towel that was destined for the rag bag anyway and voila! A new bib with a button closure in a cute cotton fabric.
Also - - I can't sew.
Like barely at all, and even my straight lines are crooked.
So if I can do with with 0 skill, I'm sure everyone else could do a MUCH better job! LOL!

Great idea!

I like that they are longer than most bibs for sale and actually cover the whole front.
 
We can fix it! We just need some baling wire, some WD-40, a bit of duct tape and this tiny ad:
