Create Adult Bibs as Clothing Protectors 

I wish you had said what the diameter of the neck is. Great video other than that! If someone has made this please let me know the neck size. Thanks!!!

Dear Linda, Thank you for the videos. You give in depth information about the templates and other products. I recently within the past few days ordered and received (AWESOME) the adult clothing protector and the boxed corner set. Thank you for how quickly the templates were shipped and also for the surprise gift of the surgical seam ripper. It was so thoughtful of you! I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your wonderful customer service. Sincerely, Faith N.

Mom wanted one bcz she said her 80 year old grip is getting loose.What a great pattern!

I use terry cloth for my bibs and makes them very absorbent.

Thank you I sewed 2 bibs for my son🙏

Adult bibs are so easy and fun to make. I have been making them for years but your template would really speed things up.

I put plastic shower curtain liner between the layers.

What size is the neck opening. My person I am making bib for has an 18 neck. Thank you.

You could call this a protector. No need to make people feel bad. Do you ever use plastic snaps? Thank you for your help- I love the idea of making a protected out of a man’s shirt.

Thank you so much this will save a lot of spots and stains

Beautiful!

Might I suggest either a layer of batting or fusible fleece in between the layers in order to add a further level of protection, this time thermal. Some people can have really sensitive skin. You can keep most of the bulk out of the seam allowance just by doing a little bit of fabric grading or trimming.

Hi. When making a reversible bid, does it make sure whether the pul is front or back for the inner batting? How to use the pul is a little confusing for me.

Velcro is nice but it Caan get caught in the hair. Also it collects lint when washed or just laying around. I really like the button and hair loops.

Thank you

Where can I get a template? And how much would it take to make one bib?

What's the measurements on the adult bid

Is there not a paper pattern option?

If using PUL, can it be put in the dryer and can it be ironed if using it between fabrics?

Linda, this is the first video of yours I have watched, but now am subscribed. :-) I am 65 years old and have sewing since I was 10 years old. You give very good instructions and do not drag things out. (I love that). I wished I would have seen this video when my mom was in the nursing home. I would have made some really cute ones for her. My 75 year old brother was here for Thanksgiving this past weekend and he said something about wanting a bib. That's why I did this search. He says he needs it in the car while traveling. He does alot of hunting, so I got some camoflague material for the front and a solid brown for the other side. They are both flannel for the winter. When spring gets here, I will make him a cotton one also. I would love to order your template, but don't believe I will have enough time to order and make it before we leave for the south for the winter. I'm going to try and make my own and we'll see how that works out. LOL Thanks so much. Will definitely be watching for more of your videos and will look back at your past ones also. Have a Merry Christmas. Sue

How do I get the template ?

Great video and ideas with old clothes BUT!!!!!! Instead of saying the word SLOB, say instead ( if a person is a little MESSY ) or ( if a person seems to drop or spill food on themselves ) the word SLOB is so desrespectful . that's just me. Thank you for your information

What could one use instead of the PUL? Would an all cotton fleece suffice?

Very informative video.thank you

Where can I get this temple ❤

Where did you get the material fir the template?

As a 30yo woman with a progressive medical condition I have come to the very difficult decision that I now need a bib as I am struggling to swallow my saliva more and more, with the frequency of these episodes increasing. Your video was suggested as I was searching to see which type would be the best for me, and as I was a sewer until recently I thought this could still give me some insight. It definitely did, but not the kind I expected, not at all... As you can imagine needing a bib at 30 is a very tough thing to get your head around, especially when you are fully aware of people perceptions on the matter, and gradualy watching your body failing day by day. I thought your video looked interesting, and maybe, just from a sewing asoect it is. Yet within 25 seconds you've referred to those needing bibs as "slobs" twice and within 37 seconds "just as, a mess." In the next breath you acknowledge that it's difficult for the person needing the bib which is why you suggest using your own clothes so "wearing a bib doesn't have that negative connotation." You mean the connotation that wearing a bib is embarrassing and makes you look like a slob or a mess? Or so you can eat you lobsters or whatever without looking like a disabled person? Because anyway you read into that statement, there is no positive meaning. Around the ten minute mark you refer to how they're making a "mess" again, and that is my limit. I am done with this video and cannot watch anymore. I wouldn't normally comment when I dislike a video, but this? This is extremely offensive and rude beyond belief, and you need to be told, by somebody who would be using the bib, how you are actually coming across, and it is in no way, shape, or form, acceptable nor appropriate. I am generally am not someone who gets annoyed or upset by people using incorrect terminology, however I think on this occassion you should know how massively offensive and upsetting you were, to the point that I did actually cry despite my thick skin. If you want older children, teens, adults, and the elderly etc, to stop feeling the negative connotations associated with needing to wear a bib, then for a start maybe do even the tiniest bit of research, because you are currently going about it in the complete wrong way with your terminology alone adding to the stigma those in my position face every single day.

Were can I purchase your pattern

Thank You for showing me how to make these bibs. My oldest brother had a bad stroke and can't use his hands very well and I want to make him bib to help him.

Hello! So cute! Is there a template?

How about snaps for closure?

"help remove the negative connotation" after saying all kinds of negative things about the people who may benefit from them...

I hate the way you refer to people who may need these adult bibs as slobs and its awful the way you talk about children as being 'just a mess' Evidently most people who come looking for an adult bib are looking for a loved one who has some issues or problems. It can ne very difficult for relatives to watch their loved ones go down hill so much they need a bib so hearing you refer to someone needing one as a slob is upsetting

confused why are you talking about the pul but then doesnt seem you used it on the bids like a man's shirt
