Baby Bib

.So first you will need a baby bib to get your template or like I said if you don't have one play around a little and make your own.  If you only plan on making one or two printer paper or an old magazine paper will work. However if you plan on making several I would use cardboard or card stock something stiff that will last a little longer. 

Here I have joined two pieces together with masking tape.

If using a bib you already have then you will lay the bib on your paper to make template. 

Trace around it. It does Not have to be perfect. Just get the idea of where curves are and where they are not. 

Cut that out. Again does not have to be perfect.

Now gather your fabrics, If you want to do piecework or what ever be creative. There are tons of possibilities. 

Pin that fabric to the template.

Cut around it allowing about 1/2 in or so. It really doesn't matter if there's smooth edges. Now I messed up here, if doing over I would pin both the front and back to the template to save time. 

Now you have a front and a back. Since I was kind of experimenting I did not add velcro but this is where you would. in the top little corner things. 

Now put them right sides together and sew around with your about 1/2in seam allowance. Leave about a 3in opening to turn you'r fabric.

Where there are curves you will want to make little slits but do not cut your seam. This will prevent pulling when turned out. 

Here it is turned. Now iron it flat tucking that excess in, it should fall right into place. 

Now you want to sew around the whole bib as close to the edge as you can. And viola! Done! That was a quick and easy project. 

There are so many possibilities. You can applique it, if you embroider then you could do that or just leave it cute and simple! 

Here's my happy customer...

(NOTE: this looks a little tighter around the neck but that's because I pinned it for photo sake. If I used velcro it would be looser and better fitting)
