GibberishThreads
Announcement
I make high quality, hand personalized baby shower gifts and custom patches. My hand embroidered bibs make a sweet new mom gift, the perfect addition to your little one's coming home outfit!
My shop started with bandana bibs but I have since added absorbent suck pads for baby carriers, versatile nursing scarf covers, and hand embroidered felt patches for personalizing jackets, lunchboxes, hats and more! Everything in my shop is handmade with love from one parent to another.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is your embroidery really by hand?
A: Yes! And it's so fun to watch that I've started recording video! Everything in my Etsy shop is 100% handmade by me. My hand personalized bibs are embroidered one stitch at a time. Check out https://www.instagram.com/gibberishthreads/ for timelapse shots.
Q: What size do your bibs fit?
A: I add two sets of snaps so my bibs will fit perfectly from day one to toddlerhood! More specifically, 0 to 24 months.
Q: What if I want a different pattern or color?
A: I might have other fabrics in stock that I haven't listed yet so feel free to send me an Etsy message with the details and I'll let you know if other options are available.

A: Yes, just use code LOCALPICKUP when you check out. It will remove the shipping and I will message you to arrange pickup when your item is ready. (Be sure you check your Etsy messages or include an alternate email in your order notes.)

5 out of 5 starsThis bib is cute and well made for the most part. I hate that I have to iron it to make it look nicer since it's really deformed from being shipped. I get that it happens but it's annoying. Shipping was fast and it was packaged beautifully! Good bib for my niece! Thank you!

Made for by a mom of three
Hand personalized baby shower gifts, from embroidered bibs to carrier suck pads and nursing scarf covers. All handmade with love in Austin, Texas.
Gibberish Threads specializes in handmade baby shower gifts and embroidered patches. I personalize all of my bibs with hand embroidery, adding initials, a monogram, or full name to turn a useful bib into a beautiful gift and keepsake.
I started Gibberish Threads in 2015 after my first son was born. He was a BIG spit upper (eight bibs a day on average, no joke). So I was always looking for extra absorbent yet cute bibs. When I didn't find what I needed I started making them myself and just haven't stopped! All of my bibs are made with two extra absorbent 100% cotton layers. They last much longer than the typical thin bibs on the market so you don't have to change them as often.
I make every single item myself, from designing to cutting to sewing. I pride myself on having impeccable quality and attention to detail in every item that you find in my shop.
EVERY PURCHASE = ONE DONATED BOOK
Every item you purchase from my shop provides a book to a child through a donation to Room to Read. Founded on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, Room to Read has been my favorite nonprofit since I began volunteering with them in 2008. Among other initiatives, Room to Read publishes books for children in the developing world, in their local language, to foster their love of reading and develop their literacy skills, giving them a greater chance at a quality education and improved future. This program doesn't only benefit the children--local illustrators, authors, and printers are also given work and a chance to impact their community. (Room to Read has a full range of literacy and gender equality initiatives. Read more about their awesome work and how they have impacted over 10 million children at http://roomtoread.org.)
THANK YOU for taking a look at my shop and reading this whole page! FYI that you can reach out to me with any questions. Just shoot me a convo on Etsy or Instagram (@gibberishthreads). Even if you just want someone to commiserate with about living in spit up covered pajama pants for weeks. #spithappens

Frequently asked questions
Is your embroidery really done by hand?
Yes, for real! I've started recording video to prove it, haha. Everything in my Etsy shop is 100% handmade by me. My hand personalized bibs are embroidered one stitch at a time and my personalized blankets are hand painted. Check out my Facebook page videos section to see some cool time lapse shots: fb.com/gibberishthreads.
If I'm local can I pick up and avoid shipping?
Yes, just use code LOCALPICKUP when you check out. It will remove the shipping and I will message you to arrange pickup when your item is ready.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I do offer gift wrap. All orders are wrapped in colorful tissue paper and a Gibberish Threads sticker. I can add a gift note free of charge. I also sell fabric gift bags for $5 if you would like an extra special (reusable) touch. Message me for options.
