I have a ton of friends who are pregnant right now, so I wanted to get a head start on the baby gifts! While gifts from the store make great presents, homemade just adds a little something special. I found an adorable bib pattern from Pine Needles, one of my favorite shops here in Utah {located inside Gardner Village to be exact}, with almost everything you need for any sewing project.
While the finished bib looks a little complicated, I promise it's not!! The pattern is made by Precious Patterns, and is so easy to follow and had pictures to show you every step of the way. I was so happy that for once, I didn't have to unpick anything! If you are a beginner sewer, I would highly recommend this pattern. With just a few changes in fabrics, every bib will be unique!
Supplies:

Giraffe & Gator Bibs pattern by Precious Patterns
3 fabrics - one yellow, and 2 coordinating oranges

2 yellow 3/4 - 1" buttons
2 white 3/4" buttons
2 black 7/16 - 1/2" buttons
Velcro {or snaps}
It took me about an hour to make this bib, but I'm kind of slow when I'm working with a new project. Now that I've made it once, I know I could make it again in less than 30 minutes. My daughter has been wearing it herself, and having a lot of fun using this bib for her dolls. So, I can positively say that this pattern is kid-approved! The fleece/flannel inside of the bib makes it absorbent to any spills, and it's constructed in a way that I'm sure will hold up nicely in the wash.
