Description

Every small child needs a really good bib. This one combines the best features of several different types. It includes an asymmetrical side opening that makes it easier to get on and off than a traditional bib with a back closure. It’s cut wide across the chest and shoulders to keep even the messiest eaters clean. And it has a large front pocket that opens slightly to catch drips and spills before they end up on the furniture, the floor, or on a little one’s lap. This project uses iron-on vinyl because it allows you to turn any printed cotton fabric into a waterproof surface that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
