なので頑張って涎掛けたくさん作りました。全部で13個！大・中・小の3サイズで。
モデルはやっぱりファントム君で。（ちなみに彼は怖い顔してるけど、由緒正しきオペラ座の怪人の怪人なのよ。）
Mr. Phantom modeling the Bapron. By the way, he's from The Phantom of the Opera. He looks funny but he is classy. He carries a lantern in his right hand and the extended left hand used to have a mask. He was MOTH's childhood Halloween decoration and now he is my sewing buddy.
I made the Bapron 5 years ago when my American Nephew #1 was born. We are having the American Nephew #3 in a couple of months so I made new Baprons. Also, I was asked to make them a bit bigger for the American Nephew #2 (who uses the hand-me-down Bapron from AN#1), so I made 13 total in 3 sizes.
According to the printout footer, I printed the pattern in 2011. At the time it was a hand-drawn, one size only, free downloadable pattern. Now she sells it and the pattern comes in 2 sizes.
Since my pattern only came in one size, I printed the pattern at 110% and 120% to enlarge it.
One of the double gauze I bought for these bibs was advertised as Robert Kaufman but looking at the selvage, it is a Japanese double gauze. Robert Kaufman just distributes this fabric line so it was a slight false advertisement on Fabric.com. I actually used this fabric line, Sevenberry, for my dirndl and that selvage also said "Made by Japan." I really wonder if the made by Japan is intentional or not...
I used the double gauze for the front and Moda quilting cotton and Riley Blake flannel for the back.
Each bib uses about 2 yards of bias binding. I didn't want to make 30 yards of bias binding, so I opted for a fold-over elastic. So much easier!
Thirteen bibs completed. Phew.
