DIY Baby Bibs

The baby bibs can prevent your baby's clothes from dirty. And you can make the baby bibs by yourself. I think it should be very meaningful for you to make the baby bib for your baby.


For the bib you will need:
- A printed out version of this pattern.
- 1/2 yard cotton backed vinyl, terry cloth, or flannel
- ball point pen
- thread, needle
- button
- Elastic or pony tail holder

Instructions:

1. Download the picture of bib's pattern online.

2. Print up the pattern.
 Decide if you are making one with a pocket or one without a pocket.

3. Adjust the strap length and check against child.
Take the flannel and hold it around the child’s neck and mark the proper length.Cut the long end of the strap to the proper length, curving the edge so it will look nice. Cut the Vinyl half to the same length. 

4. Pin and begin to sew.
At the end of the long strap either pin a loop of elastic of a ponytail holder, sandwiched between the two fabrics. Be sure that the loop will fit over the button that you will be using. Sew all the way around the bib using a .25 seam allowance leaving a 2 to 3 inch gap for turning along the bottom.
5.Turn, and top stitch.
Trim the straps as needed. Turn the bib right side out.

6. Finishing up.
For elastic closure: If you haven’t already add an elastic loop on the long side then sew a button on the short side of the strap.
For button hole – mark button hole and sew on long strap. Sew button on short strap.
Velcro – Place hook Velcro on the inside of the long strap and loop on the outside of the short.
Place button on top of long strap if desired.
Trim threads and admire your handiwork!

This is how you make the personalized baby bib.
