As my due date approaches, I'm focusing on short-term projects. Today I made a trio of bibs from oilcloth. I used the pattern from Chickpea, but added a front crumb-catching pocket and bias tape in lieu of lining. This pattern uses very little fabric, so a little oilcloth will go a long way. My machine had no problem sewing the oilcloth when I used a "denim" (size 16) needle and longer stitch ("3" setting). Pulling on the bias tape as I sewed allowed me to get fairly smooth edges without pinning, gluing, or pasting (all time-consuming options I'd read about on other blogs). Since I am still in the fantasizing stage with a snapsetter, I sewed on snap tape for closures.
