This is by far my favorite kind of bib, and my neighbor who has six kids confirmed they were the best in her mind too. They are tight enough around the neck that the food dribbles don’t slip through, long enough that they catch the ones that get away. Plus your two year old can’t rip them off like they can with velcroe and snaps….they’re the best! And easy to make…
Just take an old t-shirt or onsie that fits over your child’s head (this is a great way to use those onsies that aren’t long enough anymore) and making a straight line from the side seam cut off the sides. This will make it so you are leaving part of the sleeve.
Now cut off the back about an inch under the sleeve.
You will do the same thing on a onsie, but you will also cut off the snaps in the front.
At this point you can be done! They should wash up fine, the edges just might curl up a bit, no biggie. Put it on them and let ‘er rip! But if you are worried about the edges curling, or just plain bored…
You can do a zigzag stitch around the perimeter, or if you’re cool enough to have a serger, you can do your thing with that.
***UPDATE*** The bibs that I stitched around actually curled up when washed and the ones I just cut and left alone didn’t all! Lesson learned…leave well enough alone! Just cut ‘em.
