Otis's new bib

I made this bib for the whipup whiplash competition. They are hosting a series of contests over the next few weeks, and this week's theme is "everyday creativity" so I wanted to make something that I use every day. And although a bib doesn't always work as well as need, it's a better option than wrapping him in a tarp.

When the bib is open, you can see all the food going into his mouth and on it's way to his tummy (or it would be if he were eating nowadays):




(He was not being the most cooperative model.)


But then you can flip up the bottom of the bib, snap it into place so that there's a little food catcher pocket, and you just see his top and bottom teeth. Unless you peek into the pocket (mouth), of course.






It's made from flannel, with eyelashes stitched on, and felt teeth and "food particles" appliqued. You'll notice that the bib has 7 teeth, because that's how many Otis has now. It's all covered with vinyl so that cleanup is (in theory) easy. But please, remind me never ever EVER to try to sew vinyl ever again. Unless I want to check myself into an institution, or, of course, I'm making myself an android costume.
