Bib tutorial. AKA slobber cloth

I found a little time or should I say I tested out to see if my little guy would give me time to sew....

The materials you will need:
  • A really cheep towel (I got mine for 2 euros)
  • Bias tape
Of course you will need the usual scissors, pins, paper, pencil etc.

Ok... baby check?
Good!

This is my cheep towel--- kinda funky but I like it!



There are many styles of bib and many ways to tie a bib closed... Velcro is fantastic but the only problem is that the most available in shops is realllllllly scratchy. I prefer it but I have worked with the bias tape tie instead because it is softer... putting in velcro isn't rocket science either!


Find a bib you like and trace around it.... I traced around the half of the bib.....

Put it on the fold of the towel and cut out...

  
Ta-da! Already nearly done. So easy.


Then pin the bias tape on the top edge and sew it.....


Baby check... gooooood...


Ah!! Sidewise!! But just add tape tot he rest of the bib- not forgetting extra to tie it closed at the ends...



 oh-oh.....

 I had to take a break and calm the beast... It took a while and some food and cuddles but I did it.



When papa came home I was able to finish up the last slobber bib.



Phew!

What a cute bib! great going! I rather like the funky pattern of the towel. It's awesome that you're still sewing though you are probably swamped taking care of your baby. He's beautiful. He has such pretty blue eyes :-)
