When our son was born two years ago we were both excited and scared. My husband held him for the first time, and he quietly said, "Hi Bub." From that moment on, Quentin has been known as "Bub". We received many burp cloths as gifts, but none as great as the handmade ones from a dear family friend, Karen. When Bub got a little bit older, he turned the burpie into a blankie. He still carries them around daily. He rubs the satin ribbon and drags it on most of our journeys. They were a hidden treasure amongst the many gifts we'd received.
I started making them for friends who were having babies. They loved them, too. And Babybub was born. I usually have some crafty project going. So when I decided to make these, I had to learn to sew. It has been fun and challenging ever since. I have a newfound appreciation for garments and for those who create them. We started Babybub because we have always wanted to own our own business. We think this is a good way to start.
