Too Cute for Kiddos Sewing Round-Up
Embroidered Baby Bibs to Celebrate Milestones
Looking for that perfect baby gift? Embroider milestone baby bibs. These 12 bibs are sure to bring smiles and be used first as photo props to record each month’s milestone birthday, then for lunchtime. See how easy these are to sew using this tutorial.
Cute Kids Embroidery Ideas
The first step for adding machine embroidery to fabric or “ready-mades” is to hoop the fabric. Sounds simple, yet with each different fabric type and/or shape of the project, there are valuable tips and techniques that make that hooping process simple. On Sewing With Nancy guest and professional embroiderer Marie Zinno and Nancy give you five lessons during this featured episode of Hoop It Up—Guide to Successful Embroidery.
Cuddle Buddies Hats and Scarves
Most of us look forward to easy, yet artistic sewing projects. Throw in the fact that these projects are also adorable and I know you’ll be adding today’s topic to your sewing to-do list. Have I piqued your interest? My goal is that you’ll be inspired to create hat and scarf creations for kids, called Cuddle Buddies Hats and Scarves designed by Sewing With Nancy team member, Donna Fenske. Read more on the Sewing With Nancy blog post.
Recycle Jeans into Bibs
When it’s chow time at the ranch or most likely lunchtime at home, make adorable bibs for your little buckaroos. The durable yet colorful bib features parts of a cast-off pair of jeans and a bright bandana. Sewing time for this recycling project is again approximately an hour. Grab this and other recycled denim ideas here.
Transform Towels to Bibs
Here’s how to make adorable but functional bibs from fingertip towels. Plain or embellished with embroidery designs, they’ll be treasured by moms and appreciated as shower gifts. Follow along as I show you the five easy steps to create bibs from fingertip towels with great results in this sewing tutorial.

Double blessed with my first grandchild and a Embrodiery machine. Would love to win this as I learn how to use my machine. My baby girl needs all the above, especially bibs!

These hats are so adorable! I belong to a sewing/blanket ministry in our nearby church where we make fleece pants, hats and blankets for children of all ages and then donate them to shelters or for those from the church going on mission trips. How special the children would feel in such precious hats!

I love the bib made from a finger towel. My aunt made one 30 years ago for my son that I have for my grand son now. So many happy memories. I would love to learn how to make more!

It’s all so fun! I like the bibs, those would have been so nice when my kids were younger. How cute are those embroidered baby items! At this stage I would have to go for the Cuddle Buddies hats and scarves….love it. I think I would start with a monkey set.
