Reversible Baby Bib

finished bibsThis bib was based on the need for a larger bib for my children when they were young. I noticed that when babies started eating solid food you could find waterproof large bibs, the only draw back is they don't absorb much when they drool when teething or spit up. I took a small (short) infant bib and used a food bib to make the measurements for this bib.

What a great idea! I was just thinking that I really need some longer bibs because my little guy makes a BIG mess in his highchair. These would be perfect. Thanks for the instructions!

I don't have any small children or grandchildren, and cannot say I am fond of sewing, but, when I saw your tutorial, I thought I need to make some for all the people I know who are having babies!
