Happy Monday! Today is a fun one: it’s pattern release day, the grand opening of my first photo contest, and comes with a chance to win a BUNCH of fantastic FREE PATTERNS! Who doesn’t love pictures and free stuff?! The Bandit Bib has been in the works for a while and is one of my favorite patterns—sometimes simple really is best! This pattern is perfect for all ages–even grown ups! The newborn size is great for accessorizing and catching those unexpected spit-ups, while the baby size is perfect for the teething phase. I’ve even got an adult size so that mommy (or daddy) and baby can match! It doubles beautifully as an easy-access burp cloth as well. What do you have to do to get this amazing bib? I’m so glad you asked…
Nothing! This pattern is totally free during the Photo Contest, so don’t miss out on your free copy and download it now! I’d love to see your creation modeled and entered into the contest as well. One lucky winner will get fantastic (and free) patterns from Muffinhead, KodaBaby, Snuggle My Baby, Duck Butt Designs, and of course Rachel Rossi Design! Not only do you get these patterns for free, but one contestant will have their photo featured on the Bandit Bib pattern! All of my contestants will have their photo featured on the blog and official pattern release just for entering! So, get sewing and get the full contest details below:
Update: Although the contest is over and this pattern is no longer free, you can purchase it for just $3 in my shop. Make sure to see all the great contestant photos below and get your copy today!
