My sister is expecting and I made her these cute bibs and burp cloths as a shower gift. Hopefully she doesn't come looking before February 1st because then the surprise will be ruined.
I used soft flannel and white terrycloth. The burp cloths are a basic rectangle (finished product measures 9"x21"). Here is a tutorial for both rectangular and contoured burp cloths.
I would love to direct you to the blog from which I obtained the basic bib pattern, but I forgot. I simply re-traced the template that I used and will upload it as a pdf file.
Have you seen those cute tie-shaped bibs? I searched and searched and could only find sellers of the finished product, not a pattern. So, I ended up making my own.
For the two necktie bibs, I sewed so that they would have to be turned out and have a finished look. For the camo, I simply used 2 layers of flannel with a layer of green in between (3 layers total). Then, left a thick edge outside of the stitching and trimmed for a frayed look (picture below). All 3 bibs are finished with velcro fasteners.

This is the most fantastic bib ever! These bibs are extremely cool especially the one with a necktie design. Great stuff!
