When you put a button bib around a baby's neck, her hair won't get caught up in the ties in the back that are often found on other bibs. The button effortlessly keeps the bib in place, while the bib itself absorbs drools or dropped food from the baby's mouth. Use the bib pattern to cut out a bib that will fit a baby approximately 6 to 9 months of age.
Instructions
1. Print the bib pattern from the "Resources" section onto a piece of paper.
2. Pin the pattern on one side of a piece of terrycloth. Cut through the pattern and into the terrycloth, cutting along the lines for the bib pattern. Remove the pattern from the bib.
3. Fold and pin the terrycloth, one-half inch from the edge. Pin with straight pins.
4. Use a sewing machine to sew a zigzag stitch around the folded edge to create a seam, overlapping the cut edge. The zigzag stitch keeps the terrycloth hem from unraveling.
5. Sew a button hole on the short side of the back of the bib. Make the button hole 1 inch from the end and in the middle of the material.
6. Sew a button on the long side of the back of the bib. Make the button 1 1/4 inches from the end and in the middle of the material.
