Why Sew a Baby Bib?

Baby bibs are essential for any new parent, providing protection against spills and messes during feeding time. By making your own bibs, you can choose fabrics and designs that reflect your style, making each piece unique. Plus, sewing baby bibs is a quick and satisfying project that yields instant results—perfect for beginners!

What You’ll Need

Before diving into the tutorial, gather the following materials:

• Fabric: Choose soft cotton or flannel for the front and a waterproof fabric for the back. Two pieces measuring 10” x 14” will suffice.
• Batting (optional): For added absorbency, you can use a layer of batting in between the fabrics.
• Sewing machine: A basic machine is all you need for this project.
• Thread: Pick a colour to match or contrast with your fabric choices.
• Scissors or rotary cutter: For cutting your fabric accurately.
• Pins: To hold your fabric layers together before sewing.
• Snap fastener or Velcro: For fastening the bib around the baby’s neck.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Download the Free Pattern: Start by downloading the free baby bib pattern from our website. Print it out, ensuring it’s to scale.

2. Cut Your Fabric: Pin the pattern pieces to your chosen fabric and carefully cut around them. Remember, you’ll need two fabric pieces for the bib front and back.

3. Layer Your Fabrics: If you’re using batting, layer it between the front and back fabric pieces, ensuring the right sides are facing out.

4. Pin Together: Use pins to secure all layers together, making sure they are aligned properly.

5. Sew the Edges: Using a straight stitch, sew around the edges of the bib, leaving a gap of approximately 4 inches. This will allow you to turn the bib inside out.

6. Turn Inside Out: Carefully pull the bib through the gap, so the right side is now facing out. Use a chopstick or similar tool to push out the curves and corners for a neat finish.

7. Press the Bib: Iron the bib flat, making sure the edges are crisp.

8. Sew the Gap Closed: Fold the edges of the opening inwards and sew across to close it.

9. Attach Fasteners: Depending on your choice of closure, attach the snap fastener or Velcro securely onto one side of the bib.

10. Final Touches: Give your bib a final press, and voilà! You have a beautiful, handmade baby bib!
