Something Sewn- Catchall

A very dear-to-my-heart woman I've known all of my life requested that I make her a "car bib," since her most frequent "eating out" experience  involves drive-through windows.  After drafting and altering a pattern, I made the bib reversible with weighted shoulder tabs.  Sandwiching a middle layer of flannel-type batting, I stitched an overall loopy quilting design using variegated thread, and finished with hand-made bias binding.  The pockets at the bottom are for... well, leftovers.  While wearing a polyester blouse I discovered that the weighted bib will not stay put, so a black elastic strap was the final touch.  No, I'm not planning to make any more of these :)
