This post includes a free bib pattern download and instructions for making adorable bias tape trimmed bibs! Bibs are so fun to make and there are so many things you can do with them. I think they make excellent baby shower gifts, too.

Baby Bib Instructions
Baste all the way around the bib to hold the layers together.
Then pin another piece in the neckline, with 5-8″ hanging off each top.
Sew this piece of binding on, including stitching up the open edge of the binding that is hanging off the top.
Baby Bib Sewing Tips
- To make this easier, try using the adjustable binding foot!
- Use a contrasting thread for another pop of color!
- Raid your scrap pile for some fun combinations.
- Use flannel on the back (or front) for extra absorbency and softness.

Oh my heck, that sparkly bias tape is the tops! I have some old, old, gold bias tape that I should try busting out for something. Inspiring as always Kate! :)

You know what I love so much about you? (just one of the things!) You always make a pile of stuff and then stack it up, line it up and photograph it. Something about items in sets really pleases me! I don’t even need baby bibs, but I want some now!
