How to make

You Will Need

* Sewing Machine

* Sewing Kit

* Fat Quarters

* Sew-on Hook and Loop Tape

* Dressmaking Scissors

Step 1

Place your fabric right sides together.

Step 2

Measure across the corner of the fabric to make a triangle. I've measured 14 inches across. This will form the neck of the bib.

Step 3

Cut out the fabric and pin together around the edges.

Step 4

Sew the pieces together using a ¼ inch seam allowance. Leave a small gap at the top so that you can turn it right sides out.

Step 5

Trim the seams to approximately 1/8 of an inch.

Step 6

Turn the bib through the gap and press.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the gap inside the bib and press.

Step 8

Top stitch around the edge of the bib using a ¼ seam allowance.

Step 9

Cut approximately 1 inch of hook and loop tape and position it on one end of the neck, on the front side of the bib. Stitch in place using a small straight stitch.

Step 10

Position the other hook and loop piece on the other end of the neck, on the back side of the bib and stitch in place.
