"It's Dinner time!!!"

To celebrate the newest addition to the Butterfly Designs product line, I am hosting my very first giveaway.  I truly appreciate the support that everyone has shown me over the years and I hope will be able to do more of these in the future.  Check out the box giveaway box just to the right. There are a couple ways to add your name to the giveaway so please feel free to enter as many times as allowed.  Also, please share this with your friends.  The more participation I get from giveaways, the more often I will do them.

Now on to the introduction of:

"IT'S DINNER TIME" BIB - a bib for those little sitters who are ready for some deliciousness but who haven't mastered table etiquette quite yet.

Though bibs aren't the most exciting thing, as a mom, I know the necessity that they are.  And face it, most of the practical things in our lives aren't that cute.

One of the things I have tried to do with my line of baby items is put a stylish twist on a practical item that babies and mamas need to use.


Bibs are my newest adventure in trying to be creative yet practical.  As simple as it might seems, even creating the pattern for these little guys was a process.  I didn't want something too big so that little guys couldn't use them but they had to be long enough to tuck below the edge of the high chair tray.  They need to be washable but soft on baby's skin, they had to stay on and of course they needed to be cute.

But the number one thing was that they couldn't use Velcro.  There is nothing worse than a chain of twisted bibs, towels and anything else happens to be in the washer/dryer.

My solution was plastic snaps.  These are the snaps that are used on my favorite cloth diapers - Mud Butt Cloth Diapers.

The snaps stay closed.  I tested it on our foster daughter who is a year and really does not like to wear a bib.  This is the first one she hasn't been able to get off.
 The snaps come in a rainbow of fun colors and they are completely washer and dryer safe.  


Plus I was able to add additional snaps to make it adjustable.

I also wanted to add an absorbent layer without making the bib too bulky.  My solution was a layer of terry cloth.  It's durable, washable and soft enough for around the neck.


As with all my items, everything is top stitched so that there is no twisting of the layers and they will come out of the washer looking good as new.  Ready to get spilled on over and over.   


So, I mustache you a question - what do you think of the newest Butterfly Designs item?
(Cheesy I know but I just couldn't resist.)
What prints would you like to see in the future?

If you are interested in purchasing an item, please checkout the Bibs Photo Album on my Facebook Page and comment on the specific item.  You can also email me or send me a message via Facebook.

  1. The bibs are so cute and look really functional! I recognized those snaps right away! We use cloth too. It is hard to find bibs that snap instead of use velcro. All of your designs are cute. I like the owls and the fancier looking one that has pink in the background. Not sure what to call it. :) Great job!

  8. I love theses! Actually its a fantastic idea, now that i'm getting ready to start BLW with my daughter in two months, I'm starting to notice how I hate her bibs that we have. They feel plasticy, they don't stay on, and they are all wonky sizes! I'd love to see some camo prints (my husband is a hunter and thinks anything camo on his daughter is adorable!) And maybe something with strawberries? :P Can't wait to purchase some from Canada land - Jess Pape

    1. I will definitely add camo next time around - that's a popular request. Also, next time I'm up north, I'll let you know so I can possibly save you some shipping cost. My family all still lives in Winnipeg so we go up often to visit.

  10. These are so cute, Jenn! I love the Chevron for Boys bib, and the Halloween & Thanksgiving prints. Camo would be awesome, too! Love the snaps...brilliant.

    Owen is pretty much beyond the bib stage, not that he ever liked them/kept them on anyway, but he has a few little cousins that could use one. Thanks for the chance to win! :)

  11. I love the lady bug bib. I wish my girls were still babies (well, not really) BUT I wish i saw these when they are younger! I know friends having babies though! I may have to just invest! :) THanks for the chance to win! ~ Erin

  13. I love me some sock monkey....always a classic! GREAT idea with the snaps Jenn! I do HATE the ball of velcro bib mess that comes out of the dryer AND hate that the kiddos can just pull their bib off with one yank (and love that the snaps make the size adjustable).

  14. I like the pastel zigzag bib you made... and the mustaches! I would love the owl print in girly colors, though. Rosalie really likes owls.

  15. I love the bibs!! I love the owl one, I think I might have to get one for my own little girl ;) The snaps will help so much as the Velcro bibs get pulled off so easily.
