Mabel + Bixby

 photo IMG_8015.jpg

So I’ve got some exciting news to share! My mom has been making adorable baby bibs for over 30 years. She’s made them for all of my kids….and several friends too. They are seriously the best ever and so so cute. So I’m am thrilled to announce our little baby bib business, Mabel + Bixby!
 It’s been a fun little side project that I’m excited to finally share it with all of you!

Here’s yours truly sporting one of the first bibs back in 1985. My mom has improved the design since then so they are even better (and cuter) than ever!

We decided to name our little business Mabel + Bixby in honor of my grandma Mabel (my mom’s mom) and the street I grew up on in California. My grandma taught my mom to sew…so it’s fun to honor her in this way! All of the bibs are carefully sewn by my mom, Bev, and I handle all the other stuff like Instagram and photo taking…and supplying the baby models. My mom tried to teach me to sew back in the day but it was a disaster. It’s just not my talent! Thankfully she’s crazy talented to make up for it! Maybe one day I’ll try to learn again….I’m sure being a hormonal teenager who could care less at the time didn’t help the sewing lessons.

This is one of my current favorites. I love it so much that we decided to call this one “The Sadie”. All bibs are reversible and I’m obsessed with the gingham on the back!

Sadie loves her pink floral kitty bib! All of the bibs are washable (just toss them in your washing machine and dryer!) and made from pre-washed 100% cotton. They also featured an inner batting layer, so they are super durable. My kids are ROUGH on them and they still hold up great!

We have several adorable boy bib options too!

Bibs are made to fit ages 6 months to 4 years and measure 9.5″ x 15″

A bow can be added to any boy bib to make it a girl bib for free!

    These are SO adorable! They are a perfect gift for a new mom! I wish Luke would wear a bib, but he screams bloody murder when I try to put one on him.
