A friend of mine wanted to give a woman she knows who is expecting a baby a handmade gift. We tossed around a few ideas, but she wanted to check with a closer friend of this woman first. The woman didn't want or need a quilt, knit items, etc. so the bibs and burp cloths was what was decided. The expectant mother didn't want any typical pastel baby colors or baby prints either and so Southwest prints and one patriotic fabric was what I would make them out of, using the fabrics I had on hand.
I made 7 bibs and matching burp cloths (one for each day of the week). The bibs I used plastic Kam snaps so they could be snapped 3 ways to allow for a growing baby/child. I lined each bib and burp cloth in a soft flannel fabric too.

| 2 snaps per bib allows 3 ways of snapping together. They can be snapped with both snaps snapped together, or one snap snapped, either making the snap the tightest or the loosest. |
