We gonna show you how to do it step by step so yuh can have some unique and practical bibs for yuh little one.
Gettin’ Started: Findin’ De Right Materials
Firs tings firs’, gather up all dem old towels dat been sittin’ in de back o’ yuh closet. Look out for ones dat still in good condition but maybe not as fluffy as before. You know what I mean – de ones dat ain’t soft enough no more fo’ bath time luxury. Dem towels gonna make perfect bib material.
Next up, find a pattern or template fo’ makin’ de bib shape. You could draw one yourself or search online fo’ free printable patterns – plenty options out dere! Make sure it’s a size suitable fo’ babies and toddlers so it cover dem lil chests properly when mealtime gets messy.
Cuttin’, Stitchin’, and Creatin’
Once you got yuh materials ready, lay down one o’ dem old towels flat on a clean surface like a table or counter. Place the pattern on top an use pins to secure it in place – don’t want no movemen’, ya know?
Now grabbin’ your scissors (sharp ones be best), carefully cut around the outline of the pattern through both layers o’ towel fabric. Take ya time wit dis part so you end up wit a nice, clean shape fo’ yuh bib.
After cuttin’, remove de pins and separate de two towel layers. You gonna have two identical pieces o’ fabric now – one fo’ de front o’ the bib and one fo’ de back. If you want to add some extra absorbency, you can also cut a piece of terry cloth or flannel in the same shape as your pattern and place it between the towelin’ layers before stitchin’.
Now it’s time to get sewin’! Use a sewing machine or hand stitch along the edges of both pieces o’ fabric, leavin’ an openin’ at de bottom so yuh can turn it inside out later on. Make sure dem stitches strong enough to withstand all dem food spills and drool dat gonna come its way!
Show Off Yuh Creations
Once yuh finished stitchin’, carefully turn yuh bib inside out through that openin’. Give it a good press wit an iron if needed – we want our bib lookin’ crisp and ready for action!
All dat’s left is attachin’ some Velcro or snaps at de back so yuh can easily fasten dis bad boy around yuh baby’s neck. And voila! Yuh done created somethin’ practical from those old towels collectin’ dust.
