Bibs !


When you have a baby, there are a million products out there for sale that are truly 'unnecessary' and others that are real lifesavers! A bib is one of those things that you can't have enough of. When I first started preparing for baby's arrival I bought some clothes, sheets, towels, toys and bibs. I made an inventory of the clothes I had and their size. I sent it to my sister-in-law to get feedback on whether I had enough onesies and sweaters. When she saw that I had 4 marked for the number of bibs she told be to get a lot more, because four would never suffice! And she was right! I ended up making a 'ton' of bibs, all with ties instead of velcro so that when my son tugs on it, it stays around his neck. These are easy to make with towel fabric and bias tape. If the fabric is thin, you can double it. Just cut out the form of a bib in the fabric and sew bias tape around the bid; remember to leave enough extra bias at each end so that you have enough to tie it.

I used this template.
