Drool Bib Tutorial + Pattern

We don't deal with drool around our house but my sister's little

man is drooling. She was not able to find a package

of drool bibs, so I got busy making some.

They turned out super cute and I can't wait to see pictures

of him in his new bibs.  Maybe this will help lower the amount of outfit

changes during the day. Does the teething baby in your

family need some drool bibs?

Here is what you need

Supplies:

Scrap fabric

Polyurethane laminated fabric or batting

velcro

I started out with a bib that I found at the thrift store since all signs of baby

at our house are in storage.

I used the bib as an outline but I shortened the bib and widened the neck a

little for those chubby babies.

 With wrong sides together

pin your pattern to your fabric and cut your bib out.

Next, grab your polyurethane laminated fabric or batting.

I used PUL because It will withstand the drool just

a little better than batting. There will be a shiny side and a dull

side.

With the shiny side up, pin your pattern to the PUL

Cut this out

Unpin the fabrics and layer them, PUL (shiny side up),

then the patterned fabric right sides together

Pin all of those layers together and with a 1/4 inch

seam allowance sew around the bib, leaving a inch wide opening where

I am pointing.

Flip it right side out. Place a pin on the front of the bib. You want

the shiny side of your PUL to be the front side of you bib, so

it will protect against the slobber better. Now

 pin the opening where you turned. Iron

the seems.

Sew 1/4 inch seam around the bib.

Place your velcro on the ends of the bib.

I like the velcro that sticks so  it doesn't move as

much when you are sewing.

Stick the velcro on and attach.  When you sew your velcro

use white thread on top and keep your bobbin color that was used to

sew around the bib. That way you won't have dark thread showing

on your velcro.



Iron down your seams one more time.

You have a great drool bib for the teether in your life!

This bib was for a boy, so to dress them up I added a mustache to a few

of them.

Seriously the possibilities are endless, especially for a little

girl.

**Update...here is an idea for those little girl droolers in your life. The

flower is made out of felt.
