How to Make A Bib (Very Easily)

We have a winner:  Katie Smith Michael!  Thanks for all who entered!!!!

Let me start this week's tutorial by saying it's easier than last week's (I promise). You could actually make this without a sewing machine if you wanted. I love making bibs this way because you can make them reversible! Also, when I can find it, I try & make one side with vinyl fabric so you can wipe it clean. If you are making the bib & have questions, please email me!

You will need:
A bib you have that you like the size (to trace)
Piece of paper
2 pieces of fabric about the size of the bib you will be tracing
Very thin batting or thin fleece (this can be skipped)
Velco
Thread

Start with the bib you have that you like the size. Trace it on a piece of paper trying to add about 1/4 inch around the whole thing.

Pin the cut out onto each piece of fabric & cut out the shape of the bib.

Pin to the batting/fleece & cut. This part can be skipped but I think it makes the bib a little sturdier looking.

Sew on any ribbon, ric rac, etc to the fabric.

Place the 3 pieces together. Batting/fleece first & then the two pieces of fabric.

Sew around the entire bib, leaving about a 2 inch opening at the bottom.

Turn the bib inside out. Now sew around the entire bib again, closing up the opening. For this part you can choose a fun, wider stitch if you want!

Last, stitch on the velco at the top. You could also do snaps here if you have them. Enjoy!

While working on this tutorial I sent bibs to two other      blogging Moms with babies: 

The Moores &  I Love You More Than Carrots 

Keep an eye out in the social media world today for pictures of their darling babies wearing one of these bibs I made.

Enjoy & happy sewing!

Now, once again, if you don't like sewing I will sew for you! One lucky winner will get a bib made especially for their baby.
