Button Down Rehab Day 8: The Button Down Bib (with free pattern!) For day 8 of Button Down Rehab, I have something else boy-related for you. And of all the projects I've done using button down shirts lately, I think this one may be my favorite!! Using very few materials, I came up with an adorable Button Down Bib for my little guy. ____________________________ Ready to make one (a bib that is)??

This is the original shirt I used. Step 1: Cut out your pieces. Make sure your shirt is buttoned. Use the pattern to cut out a second piece of fabric for your lining.

I’d like to acknowledge the brainstorming and input of my sweet husband, who reminisced about his own favorite toys as I told him of my plans, and reminded me once again that I am not a boy–which is (one reason) why it’s so nice to have him around. I’m really excited to be part of the Celebrate the Boy festivities again this year–thanks to Rae of Made by Rae for inviting me!

So my husband and I are talking and I mention this project, and I say I’m about ready to scrap it all.
