A friend of mine had a baby recently, and I’d been wandering around the Zeeman and found some spit scarves that I thought might be nice. Things you put around a baby’s neck, I presume, to keep them from getting spit, snot and other bodily fluids on their clothes. I knew that I still had some dinosaur construction worker and little monkey fabric that would suit a baby beautifully.
The tag on the originals said that they were 18 by 40 cm, so off home I went and cut out 20 x 42 cm triangles from the cute fabrics and linings of flannel in a similar blue. They were stitched right sides together, turned out through the hole left along the top and topstitched to close the hole. Then I added two ‘male’ snaps on the one side and one ‘female’ snap on the other side to make it adjustable. I ended up with four of them, two went to the friend and the other two will probably find a home sooner or later.
And here is mr. sultana backpack modelling the two spit scarves. He’s faded significantly from sitting in the window forever, but still cute as a button!
