    Sew a Quick & Easy Bib

    bib-pink-dotSewing a custom bib for your baby, or as a gift for a baby shower, is fun & easy! You can use scraps of fabric you have leftover from other projects, or purchase some special fabric, like laminated cotton, that works especially well for bibs.

    You will need:

    • a pre-made bib (to use as a template)
    • fabric (flannel, minkee, or laminated cotton)
    • contrasting fabric (optional - for reverse side of bib)
    • thread
    • sewing machine
    • velcro or snap (use velcro if you want the bib to be reversible)

    To make the bib:

    1. Fold the store-bought bib in half lengthwise. Each half should be identicle. Lay the bib on a piece of paper and trace around. Remove the bib, and draw an additional a ½" seam allowance to the traced shape.
    2. Cut out the paper pattern, place on fold of fabric. If you want a bib with the same fabric on both sides, cut 2 bib pieces out of one fabric. For a bib with a contrasting reverse side, cut one bib piece from one fabric, and one bib piece from a contrasting fabric.
    3. Unfold pieces and place right sides together. Pin.
    4. Sew around the bib using a ½" seam allowance and leaving a 2" opening at the bottom of the bib.
    5. Turn the bib right-side out using 2" opening.
    6. Top-stitch around the bib and doing so, close opening.
    7. Attach velcro pieces to bib tops, or attach snaps.
