Geaux Tigers!

It's Shameless Commerce Tuesday and today I'm featuring baby bibs for little Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers fans and little New Orleans Saints fans.
Now, you may ask, why is a Yankee from Husker Nation (aka Nebraska) sewing LSU bibs?  Truth be told, I've never even been to Louisiana.

Well, it all started, as many projects do, with a custom order.  Last November, an enthusiastic LSU fan wanted me to make Christmas stockings in purple and gold:


She loved the fabric.  But I had leftovers -- so I decided to use the extra fabric to make baby bibs.  Well, not only did I sell several LSU bibs, I've had requests for more.  My supplier for Cajun fabrics is Angela from All Stitched Up:  http://www.allstitchedupbyangela.com.  And while reordering, I couldn't help but buy some other cute Tiger-themed purple and gold fabrics:
Here is a link to my LSU fleur de lis baby bib listing:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/86995192/baby-bib-reversible-lsu-purple-on-gold.  The bibs are made using (with permission) a ModTods digital pattern and tutorial: http://www.etsy.com/listing/80657313/tutorial-baby-bib-pdf-pattern-tutorial

Geaux Tigers!
