Are you ready for another free pattern? Baby Bibs!
I've been making bibs for my kids since my first child was born 16
years ago (seriously?). Now his tee-shirts are bibs. And his jeans are
napkins.
This time around, with my littlest—who is now a year-and-a-half, I have these AWESOME laminated cotton fabrics
to work with. They make the BEST bibs. Easy to sew, wipeable,
washable—and pretty. Half of our family stock of bibs are made with the
laminates and half are made with all-cotton quilting-weight fabric.
They're both great. But, the laminates are slightly favored.
So, this is a really simple pattern. You can make a bunch of bibs in
one sitting. If you coordinate a few bibs and add some
embellishments—like ribbon or an applique—you can whip up a fantastic baby shower gift in no time. Cute AND useful—the best gifts to get. Download the pattern here—or follow the sidebar link under Free Patterns.
I'll be sharing My Slobber Monkey Baby Bib pattern on PBS this spring. Check your local listings for Sew It All TV.
In Phoenix, I believe the episode will be airing next Monday at 9:30am
and 2:30pm on Eight Life (Cox 80). Tune in for sewing tips, fabric and
embellishment variations—including a monster bib. For more info about the episode, see this post.
I don't want to be redundant—except to say that we filmed the episode
in one, long, 30-minute take. I, myself, am anxious to see how that
worked out.
Fun, fun!
All my love and sewiness,
Heather

So cute! It’s exactly the same size as the bibs I sent for your son, hope you liked them!
I’m so glad you commented. I wanted to direct people to your finished bibs – with that wonderful cottony stuff on the back-side. I couldn’t find your contact info. What’s the website? Do you have an Etsy store?
Hi Heather – The backing is actually a Hemp & Organic Fleece. I love the stuff – it’s what some cloth diapers/inserts are made of. I have an etsy shop – but I’m not very active in it http://www.etsy.com/shop/RileyandCo
I sell locally at craft shows & baby stores in southern Cali – http://www.flickr.com/photos/rileyandco for pictures – Thanks!!
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. There will be a new addition to the family next month who can make use of these. 🙂
What ages is this bib template for? newborn, 6 months, 1 yr +?
Thanks!
Ok, fairly inexperienced sewer here (I can make the simplest of curtains for my kids’ rooms).
Why the tape in the middle?… and what kind of tape?
Thanks for your patience with me – I’m joining Love Without Boundaries to make bibs for orphans in China, and hoping to involve several “former orphans/now princesses” in the process. :o)
