Baby Bib Tutorial

The bib is reversible, but I’ll call one side the “front” and the other side the “back” just to keep things straight.

· Fabric for the lining, 10”x13” You can use some more flannel or just some muslin.

What you’ll need:

· The bib pattern, printed out onto legal sized paper (8.5” x 14”) or tape two pieces of regular letter sized paper together.

· Fabric for the front and back of the bib, 10”x13” each. Can be the same fabric or different. I used a cotton flannel on one side and a quilting cotton on the other.

· Machine sewing thread that contrasts or coordinates with your fabrics. · Iron-on Velcro

1. Fold the fabrics in half and line up the edge of the template on the fold. Trace the template onto your front, back, and lining fabrics. I found that using a bone folder works great to press an indentation into the fabric (See photo). You could also use a fabric marker or a pencil. 2. Pin so the layers don’t shift and cut them all out.

3. Pin the lining fabric to the wrong side of the back fabric. Move the needle on your machine to the right (to stitch slightly less than ¼”) and machine baste around entire bib. 4. Layer back (and lining basted on) and front fabrics right sides together and pin. Backstitching at each end, stitch a ¼” seam, leaving about 3 inches at the bottom of the bib for turning.

5. Before turning, carefully cut notches at the top part of the bib and also at the bottom corners (see photos). It also helps if you cut slits in the front neck area. 6. Turn the bib right side out, using a chopstick or something similar to help get everything into place. Press.

7. Using a zigzag stitch and a pretty colored thread, topstitch around the entire bib. Make sure you’re close enough to the edge that you catch the open area at the bottom. 8. Cut two squares out of the Velcro and round the corners. Stick them in place. Follow the directions on the package to adhere the Velcro permanently to the bib. Give the bib another press and you’re finished! Please do not sell bibs made from this tutorial
