Baby Bibs and Burp Cloths!

Two crafty posts in one day!  What?!  It's okay, after this I probably will neglect the blog for at least another 6 months.  Truth is, you're probably Jules, Nae, or one of the DIC's.

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.
