Very cute! I love the bright splash of color from the
hanky. For more of an authentic "jeans" look, you might
consider double rows of topstitching and some bar tacks, and
a faux "placket" along the front. And maybe a tiny pocket,
or at least a stitching outline of a pocket.

Do they button to the left for boys and right for girls?
;-)

Just another idea: When I made an embroidered bib for my
niece, I made the neck band longer and put in three upper
and one lower snap/gripper, so it would be adjustable and
she could use it longer. Pics are here, #7 and 8:

Well I thought I would let them all be unisex ;-)

Yes, Beverly, I liked how you did that when I saw that bib before, it
is a good idea. However I won't get any more for them even though they
have the extra fastening so I will keep that for the nearest and dearest

Claire, I think they are darling!! I like the hanky. The only thing I
think I might add is a "falsey" pocket for the hanky to stick out of.
(couldn't see that there was one in the pics.) You could do a fake welt,
or a teeny jeans shaped pocket.

But that's the only thing I would change! I think they are very cute. Great
job!
