Babies are the best!!!\u00a0 I genuinely love sewing baby things!\u00a0 One of my cousins had a baby girl a few weeks ago, so I thought I\u2019d make her a couple of bibs.\u00a0 Bibs are a favorite for me because I love piecing coordinating fabrics together to make them fun!\u00a0 Each one is unique, and I have a chance to use some of my smaller pieces of fabric to put them together.\u00a0 I\u2019ve made all kinds bibs with different closures like snaps, Velcro, ties, etc.\u00a0 Not long ago I came across something a little different and wanted to try it out!\u00a0 The blog is all in French, but I adapted one of my bib patterns to make it work.\u00a0 Take a look at my inspiration here http:\/\/lapouletteapois.canalblog.com\/archives\/2012\/09\/01\/25006250.html<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You make a buttonhole on one tab and pull the other tab through it\u2026 and it works!\u00a0 Good luck with yours if you decide to try it!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I did it:<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong>:\u00a0 Pick out your coordinating fabrics and piece together.\u00a0 On the sock monkey bib I simply sewed 3 fabrics together making sure the top piece was big enough to hit below the neckline.\u00a0 I then sewed rick rack around edge on the right side of the bib.\u00a0 On the hedgehog bib I sewed rick rack on either edge of the center fabric.\u00a0 As you can see there is no set size for these individual pieces.\u00a0 It\u2019s totally up to you!<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 1<\/p><\/div>\n

Step 2<\/strong>:\u00a0 Choose a backing for your bib.\u00a0 I like using flannel because it\u2019s soft around the baby\u2019s neck.\u00a0 Lay the bib onto the backing, right sides together and pin in place.\u00a0 Next I made 2 pink chalk marks at the bottom of the bib to leave an opening for turning right side out.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 2.1<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 2.2<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nStep 3<\/strong>:\u00a0 Now cut out the backing using the bib as your guide.\u00a0 I do not cut the tabs out, as I have found it easier to sew around the tabs and then cut them out.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 3<\/p><\/div>\n

Step \u00a04<\/strong>:\u00a0 Beginning at one of your chalk marks, sew around the bib using a 3\/8\u201d seam allowance. Stop at the other chalk mark.\u00a0 \u00a0If you look closely you can see how I used the bib as my guide and sewed around the neck and tabs.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 4.1<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 4.2<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nStep 5<\/strong>:\u00a0 Now\u2019s the time to cut around your tabs and the neck.\u00a0 I suggest clipping all of your curves,\u00a0 being careful not to clip not your stitching.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 5<\/p><\/div>\n

Step 6<\/strong>:\u00a0 Once I turned the bib right side out I use a dowel that came in a bag of fiberfill to help me get nice smooth edges on the bib.\u00a0 I just insert the dowel into the opening at the bottom of the bib and run it along the sides, and it really makes difference!\u00a0 The picture on the right shows the right side smoothed out with the dowel, and the left side is simply smoothed with my fingers.\u00a0\u00a0 See the difference?\u00a0 Then I pressed the bib, turning seam allowance inside at the opening.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 6.1<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 6.2<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nStep 7<\/strong>:\u00a0 Using pink chalk I marked the shorter tab for a buttonhole.\u00a0 My buttonhole is approx 1 \u00bd\u201d.\u00a0 After making the buttonhole I carefully cut it open.\u00a0 Lastly, I topstitched \u00bc\u201d from the edge of the bibs, being sure to catch the pressed seam allowance at the bottom.\u00a0 I chose to start my topstitching at the middle fabric rather than go all the way around.\u00a0\u00a0 Press one last time!\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 All done!<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 7<\/p><\/div>\n

Hmmm\u2026I may use these for a future project !!\u00a0\u00a0 Keep an eye out!<\/p>\n
