Most of these bibs were made with recycled/upcycled/reclaimed bed linens as are a lot of my projects. I buy very little fabric new, mostly for thrifty reasons, but also for environmental. These are some of my favourite vintage sheets that show up in project after project of mine. That red/white/blue floral up top is almost gone and I'm hoarding what I have left for just the right thing. I search out the old 100 percent cotton sheets as they're such a great quality to sew with and the colours and patterns are often so bold and bright.

The red/white/blue floral up top is my favorite, too. I sincerely hope you find the perfect thing to make with it! I want to try and make a pincushion out of my most favorites so I will see it often...or rotate them so they stay "fresh" to me.

I think that I recognize some of those sheets!!! I love backing quilts with soft 100% cotton sheets. I just wish I had time to sew again...
