Boys Bowtie Dribble Bib

My local bank has asked me to set up a table in their lobby with my merchandise samples.  As most of you know I do more girls items and not boys.  So while looking for something to make for little boys, I ran across a blog that offered a free pattern for a boys bowtie bib and thought I'd print it out.  But my computer wouldn't size it properly, so I decided to make my own... (sorry I can't remember the name of the blog but you can probably find the link here).
What I did was combined two different ideas into one.  Since I couldn't get the right dimensions for the bib, I decided to use the Dribble Bib kerchief and added the bowtie from the other pattern.  Love the way it turned out.  These types of bibs are OOAK (one of a kind), simply because you are making them from used mens shirts.  So I washed 5 men's shirts that my husband wasn't wearing and decided to give it a try with the first shirt.
I had fun choosing fabric that would work for the tie.  I wanted to make it more like a young mans tie and not a "baby" tie.   What do you think?  I have priced them very reasonably too.
