When the little one has arrived and you think everything is absolutely prepared and ready you may realize that something very essential is missing. Yes, I forgot to prepare bibs for my little one, or rather I thought I’m not going to need them. Hehe… now this thought is rather funny and I’m in a big rush to come up with a few nice bibs so we can get all those spills and burbs with content under control.

Since the baby is taking most of my time I have to come up with some simple and fast ideas for bibs. This is how I have created this Fast Bibs Tutorial, just in case if one of you is in a terrible rush as well.

I have a few designs to present and you can easily make them by hand if you don’t have a sewing machine.

For each of them we will need about 5 to 10 minutes, unless you do it by hand; then maybe 20-25 minutes will be needed.

The first one is in the shape of an oval.

bibs 3I zigzagged both fabrics all around to prevent moving before I added wide double folded tape. You can leave longer ends to tie into a bow on the back or on the side, or you can add a little snap to clip it on.

bibs 4Since my baby is still very little and I would not like to have something tied on the back of her neck (as she is lying down for most of the time) I moved tie to the side.

bibs 5The next bib idea is more fancy and even simpler. I took square shaped soft fabric, folded it all around, then folded it in half and added a snap at the back. This bib looks like a wild Western necktie.

bibs 9The last one which I prepared has also an oval shape but with additional fabric around the neck and a piece of Velcro at the back. This one protects the best.
