DIY Baby Bib from Old Jean

How do you usually deal with the old jeans? Just throw them away? Actually you don't need to do so. There is a great way to recycle some of those old jeans.They can be used to make wonderful baby bibs. Here is how to make the western style baby bibs.

1.Cut up one seam of the jean leg. Open the leg and place the center of the pattern over the center of the uncut leg seam. Pin and cut out the baby bib.

2. Then place the contrasting fabric (right side up) over the baby bib (right side up), matching the corner of the contrasting fabric to the center bottom of the bib. Pin the contrasting fabric in place and cut along the edge of the blue jean fabric, using the baby bib or pattern for the contrasting fabric.

3. Next use a zig-zag stitch and machine stitched approximately ½ inch all around the bib edge.

4. Sew on Velcro for my closure and add a cute star applique from contrasting fabric.

5. Lastly, snip the entire bib edge close to the zig-zag stitching, also snip the bottom edge of the contrasting fabric. Wash and dry the bib which gives the fraying effect.

These personalized baby bibs are just so cute and wash up so nice making them very functional.
