Here is the only hastily captured picture of the bibs I made for the girls to wear at the wedding breakfast (complete with hotel carpet background).Indeed this is the only evidence that the bibs ever existed, since they have now disappeared into the ether. Excessive alcohol consumption + chasing sleep-deprived, sugar-fuelled daughters around all day = distinct lack of care of personal possessions. Frankly I'm amazed I even made it home with my handbag and house keys.
Nevertheless, a fabulous day was had by all, the bride was beautiful, the girls just about managed to perform their flower girl duties without taking out anyone's eye with their flower wands, and the bibs were a hit, although nothing short of a miracle could have prevented Bethan from giving herself an ice-cream beard during the speeches.
The bib design was based on one of their current plastic bibs, but made slightly wider and much longer to protect the skirts of their adorable dresses. The fabric I used was a delicate Peter Rabbit toile, backed with a white brushed cotton. They were finished with topstitching around the edges and a satin bow. My intention was for it not to be noticeable that they were wearing bibs, and I think it worked out pretty well. Until they got covered in chocolate ice-cream of course.
