A few years ago I designed a waterproof/stain-proof vinyl apron for some of my friends who work with glue and oils and wanted something to protect their clothes. They are a popular item but a few people have asked me to make one with a pocket so… here it is! The large pocket covers the whole front of the apron across the bottom and comes about 1/3 up the front, it is sewn in place down the front sides creating three pocket sections. I think they make a great shop apron or for arts and crafts, while working you can keep tools handy and your hands free.

These aprons are available in over 14 different fabrics, have a look here at the Bibbity Bop store or on Etsy here. They are machine washable, hang to dry.

Please come and visit me at the 8th annual Two Willows Winter Art Studio Show and Sale! 12 to 5 pm on Saturday December 3rd and Sunday December 4th at 281 Withrow Ave.

This show is hosted by my talented friends Barb and Steve Lewis and is held in the lovely studio at the back of their house. It’s a cozy fun and festive event, perfect for getting you in the mood for holiday shopping. Drop in and have a look, I’ll be selling my usual bibs, aprons and baby gifts along with some new zippered pouches, fabric baskets and more!

A new size of Bibbity Bop adult bibs available in your choice of over 15 fabrics.

These are the perfect option for petit adults, special needs teens and older children 4 and up, a scaled down version of my very popular wipe-clean adult bib. Made of 100% premium cotton with a layer of clear lead free vinyl on top, sewn in place with 1/2 inch matching bias tape, plus a large catchall pocket and a velcro neck closure. They measure 14″ from neck opening to the bottom and are 13″ wide at the pocket. The neck opening adjusts from about 14 to 16″. No need to do laundry, simply wipe clean, ready for the next meal. These are machine washable in cold or warm water, hang to dry.

The Guild Alive with Culture Craft Show was a great success this year, despite a few rain showers here and there! We managed to stay dry until the very end when a thunderstorm hit just as we were about to take down the tent.

Thank you to all the shoppers who came out and were so very enthusiastic about my new nylon baby bibs and kid’s aprons (coming soon!).

My Hooded Towel Sets were as usual very popular. I didn’t manage to get any pictures of the new embroidery designs before they sold out but stay tuned, they’re coming soon to the Bibbity Bop Gifts selection.

I’ve been busy making a bunch of new things for this weekend’s “Guild Alive with Culture Arts Festival” on August 6th and 7th from 10 am - 5 pm.
