My grandtoddlers wear bibs at our house pretty much anytime they eat anything, I don't like them wearing dirty clothes and bibs are much easier to take off than to change into a clean outfit.
Their other batch of bibs were getting rather worn so I sewed up a new batch.

| the bird print is my favorite |
For the pattern, I traced around a bib we already had, then since my tracing was not as straight as it could be, I just cut it out about 1/2 inch away from the tracing line.

I used a couple yards of a retro fabric bought at a thrift store a few years ago.
Blogs are like diaries, I just did a search and found exactly when it was purchased from an old blog post of mine.

| I fussy cut each bib so I could center these fun animals on each one. And I ended up with 9 nice size bibs. |

| I've used velcro for closures but it seems to get full of lint in the laundry and velcro bibs are a little to easy for toddlers to take off. Ties get tangled and knotted. So, I put button closures on this batch, so far, I like this method a lot. |

| My toddlers never did smile for the camera but they really liked their new bibs. Gavin picked out the seal one and Elizabeth chose the cat and mouse one. And just in case because I said I don't like for them to be dirty, that they don't have fun, well, I should of said I don't like for them to run around in food-dirty clothes. It is very warm today and we had rain over the weekend that left their sandbox full of water. So for play time, they played in the water in sandbox. It kept them happy for 2 hours. We came in at noon and put on clean dry clothes, had lunch, story time and naps. |
