I've been making little items for my little guy. He's scheduled to arrive in 2-3 weeks! So, it's crunch time!
I've been working on bibs for my little guy. I've tried a few different tutorials, but being a true novice to sewing, I've struggled with finding one that I can actually make look cute. I finally found one that was simple enough for me with some modification. It's not professional quality but it is definitely functional and made with love!
Here's my third attempt at a baby bib. If I can do it, I'm sure you can.

Here's my third attempt at a baby bib. If I can do it, I'm sure you can.
Items needed:
- Pattern (Sew4Home)
- Pins
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine
- Fabric (two pieces of fabric measuring 14" x 14")
- With both pieces right sides facing, fold in half.
- Align the pattern foldline and the fold. Then, pin the pattern to the fabric.
- Cut around the fabric.
- Unpin and unfold the fabric.
- Pin both pieces together right sides facing. Leave openings at the bottom (for turning on right side) and at the top (adding ties)
- Sew a 1/4" seam around the edges. Do not sew the openings.
- Turn the bib right side out.
- Fold the bottom edges in. Sew closed with a 1/4" seam.
- Cut two pieces of ribbon 6" long.
- Insert one piece of ribbon into each opening at the top. Fold in the edges.
- Sew a 1/4" seam (reverse stitch).
- Iron the bib.
Time Required:
30 minutes
Check out my bib (before ironing). I love the size. I'm proud that it actually looks functional - a vast improvement from my other attempts.
