Just recently became a grandmother for the first time and have been enjoying this little new addition to our family. I am also a craftsman and an avid seamstress so often you can find in my craft and sewing room to create some wonderful things for my friends and family.

With the new addition of the child our family, I decided I wanted to make some homemade baby bibs. I thought the process would be difficult, but once I started … I realized how easy it is to create my own bibs for our granddaughter.

Here are the supplies you need:

1 pre-paid terry cloth bib to use as a pattern of
1 package double fold bias (2 yard package), by bib
sewing machine
sewing thread
1 / 4 yards of cotton terry cloth fabric
Scissors
Other sewing items

Note: If you really want to be frugal, you can recycle some terry towels age for this project.

Put your pre-bought bib on a piece of white paper up around the shape with a pencil, then cut out your paper pattern. Next, unroll the bias tape and cut a piece of tape measurement bias 34 "in length. Pin your paper pattern down its toweling and pin in place. Cut around the paper pattern and remove the pins. Cover and set the bias tape on the edges of the raw sides and bottom of your bib, do not cover the neck area yet.

Using your sewing machine, sew the bias tape in place and set off. Cut another piece of tape measurement bias approximately 26 "long. Attach the center of the bias tape to the neck area of the front center, pin in place. (Note: a piece of bias tape about 10 "long is left on both ends of the neck edge for relationships.) Using your sewing machine, sew around the neck opening so that adhere and covering the raw edges.

You can use your pre-purchase as a guide on how to be sewn.

Decorations: You can use 3 / 4 "wide eyelet lace instead of ribbon of bias in one step from the seam, but still have to use a coordinating color bias of the collar area. You can embroider a name or a nice design to the front of the bib or buy some iron in the cute-applied.
