Dad makes furniture, grandmother knits booties, and mom sews a patchwork blanket. The kid is surrounded by love from all sides! These things can be bought, but from the products made with their own hands, it blows with special warmth and tenderness.
Bib for feeding: eat beautifully
You can also sew a bib for your baby yourself. Patterns in such a product are very simple, they can even be drawn by hand. There should be several bibs so that they can be changed during the day. Aesthetic taste in children should be brought up from childhood. Toddlers need to know that clothes should be clean and tidy. No need to put a dirty bib on a child; you should not develop a sense of negligence from a very young age. Do not be too lazy to change the accessory for a clean one, if after the previous feeding it was not in the best condition.
Children grow up quickly, and they will not have to bother with bibs for long, but the child will learn an important lesson that he has always been clean and beautiful. And this brand needs to be kept!
Simple pattern
The bib should be the size of the baby. Since the kids grow quickly, there will be an occasion to sew different cool bibs with their own hands. Patterns with felt, with pockets, with sewn-on embellishing elements, with ruffles - these are only part of the options that can be embodied in the work.
You can find a bib pattern on the Internet, the size of the A-4 sheet format will be just right for the baby. As he grows up, it will be possible to increase the pattern in size. You can choose models with ties or those to which Velcro or a button are sewn, they are all convenient to use.
To properly build a bib pattern with your own hands, you need to fold a sheet of paper in half so that the product is symmetrical. It is advisable to try a paper pattern on a child and make sure that the finished product sits well in the neck. Estimate the length of the item and, if necessary, shorten the pattern or add centimeters. Do-it-yourself bib pattern is more practical, because it is built in size for a particular child. In extreme cases, you can adjust the printed version.
Choice of fabrics for bib
The fabric for the product must have good absorbent properties. It is better to opt for natural materials. It can be linen, calico or fabric for wafer towels. Cotton fabrics are sold in different colors, with different ornaments, so finding the right one will not be a problem. You can select several colors of the same style and combine them in the product.
Also, to seal, you need to choose a thick fabric, you can even use a terry towel. To process the slices, you need a slanting inlay, it can also be used for ties.
Tailoring
When the tissues are selected, you can begin to work. It is also necessary to have pins and crayons, which will outline the bib. Do it yourself with your own hands to make different models.
For the simplest option, you need only two identical parts. The front side is made of thin fabric, and the wrong side will be terry or the other, which absorbs well.
But you can take the model a little more complicated and add a pocket at the bottom of the product. The pattern for it will be the bottom of the bib.
The upper edge of the pocket is processed oblique inlay and pinned on top of the front.
Do-it-yourself bib pattern, transferred to a dense fabric, must fully match the size of the tissue of the front side.
All three parts must be sewn together to fix their position. This will greatly facilitate the work, when you begin to sew the inlay.
Today, the sewing store has a large assortment of strings; you can choose contrasting colors or tone to tone. If there was no experience working with pickups, then it is better to pin it.
Since, when sewing on a tie, you do not see it on the reverse side, the line may go below the edge from the inside and not grab it, then you will have to flip the tie and sew it again.
Such work requires some experience. Do not be discouraged if the first time it does not work out as accurately as we would like. The kid will forgive you for such minor errors.
The embodiment of interesting ideas
Needlework has the ability to tighten. Having made one bib, you will want to try something else. The child will grow up, and a new accessory, sewn by her mother with love, will come in handy. It’s easy to sew cool bibs with your own hands. Patterns can be used the simplest, but supplemented with interesting elements.
Felt is a very good material that can be used for applications, in addition, it is also perfectly erased. For girls, it is recommended to trim the edges of the bib. You can sew the product in the style of a patchwork, combining different fabrics.
Silicone bibs are sold in stores that have a hem below where food is collected. It seems convenient that everything doesn’t fall on the table, you don’t need to wash such a bib, just wipe it with a wet sponge. But it is actually quite tough, and not very nice when something like a collar is pressed into the neck. The kid will not say about his discomfort, but can be capricious and nervous. Make sure that the child has a soft chest apron on the button or Velcro with the ability to adjust the girth around the neck. Let your meal together be pleasant both for the child and for you!
Note!

- Make sure that the Velcro does not touch the neck and does not rub.
