Scalloped Baby Bib

So one of us on this blog is expecting soon and that of course has prompted the other to make lots of baby-related gifts! This one will likely be the first of a few baby-specific crafts!

Of course bibs are essential (and I actually may have gone over board by making over 10 bibs for the upcoming baby girl…) but they’re so useful right?! Now to the instructions! Disclaimer: I am beginner level 1 when it comes to sewing so if I get something horribly wrong, please let me know in the comments.

First, download the pattern by clicking the button below:

This pattern also includes instructions but I will include the step-by-step photo instructions here as well!

Materials
• 1/2 yard fabric (cotton) //
• 1/2 yard Flannel for lining (optional- I didn’t use this) //
• 1 snap set or velcro (I got KAM snaps here and love them!) //
• Ribbon, lace, buttons or other decoration (optional) //
• Thread //

Step 1: Print out the pattern and cut out piece A and piece B

Step 2: Line up piece A with piece B and place on top of your fabric. I used two layers of cotton and cut them both at the same time.

Step 3: Trace around the pattern with a marker or fabric pen. Remember to mark where the snaps will go!

Step 4: Cut out the pattern Step 5: Pin the two pieces together with the print sides facing each other

Sew around the edges of the bib, leaving about 2 to 3 inches unstitched so you can turn it out in the end. Remember to back stitch at the beginning and end!

Step 6: Use the opening to turn the bib inside out. Carefully clip around the curves.

Step 7: Tuck the openings in and press with an iron

Step 8: Top stitch around the entire bib.

 Almost done! I added a bow for some extra decoration.

Step 9: Add the snaps according to manufacturer’s instructions. Again, the KAM snaps are so easy and come in the BEST colors!

You’re done!
