This is how to make adult or children's bibs the easy way!!! They're so easy and fast to make you can easily make four to six a day! Four of these cost me under $17.00 to make! Enjoy!
Your instruction abilities are great. You speak slowly and clearly. I love your method and that fact that you do this with love for your Papa.take care and keep on sewing
Thank you so much, I am my fathers career, he has severe dementia and always makes a mess, I will make some for him, This is the only tutorial I have ever watched that bought tears to my eyes. xx
I wish I would have been watching RU-vid and this especially. I made several for my sister. She didn't like those with a plastic back. I had binding and sew on velcro in her sewing basket so used those. your instructions are great, even those with minimal sewing experience should be able to have a great finished item...
I found using bias tape instead of hemming was even easier. Great video, very explanatory. built my confidence and now our group is making dozens of these for local nursing homes. Thank you!!
You are an earth angel - so loving and caring. Thanks for your excellent instructions. I'm going to keep the cutout and use it for a pocket on the bib.
Making these bibs for someone you really love is very touching. I also like how create a bib just by using a towel it hits my brain that I should create one too. Thanks for sharing this!
Lois Walker....that's what I plan on doing as my mother drops quite abit of food & crumbs that go into her recliner...this way it will catch it all....hopefully.
My Aunt needs these!! I’m making her 2 of these for Christmas!! I know she’ll love them!! One will be bright orange (her favorite color), & one with a giant turtle on it (he favorite animal)!! Thanks for this pattern & tutorial!!
Thank you for sharing ....I was just going to make my 99 yr young mother a bib & thought I'd check out You Tube & found you. Your's are made similar to the way I was thinking....I enjoyed your video....did you make the second video showing how you embroidered (?) the saying's on the bib ...I didn't see it...I have an embroidery machine & know how to do it but was going to watch as you are a joy to watch & such a good kind daughter. Thanks again for sharing.
Such a well explained video and you are doing a wonderful thing for your dad. I suppose you could if you wanted, always fold the bottom up midway to be a catching pocket for food or to carry a tissue etc, or glasses? Just a thought. Loving video.
Nice that you showed him at the end! Sounds like fun! I am making baby bibs and drool bib, burpee and hooded towels for a fair in August. I teach ASL so I put some signs on them also. I really like you version of kid and /or adult bib. Great detail I use a snap device from Babyville.
Thank you for the easy bib making video! I would just like to know if you've made the video for putting the lettering on the bib? I loved the saying you put on your Papa's bib, too funny!
Thanks for the video. Do you see any reason why I couldn't use the same idea for a baby and maybe use a finger tip towel? Of course my template would have to be very small, but otherwise????
Just watched your video, love the idea, however could you be a little more specific on the size of the towel? You said medium, different places sell different sizes... thank you!
+Patricia Brannan If you have old shirts you can do this and any left over string or thin fabric can be made into to tie on instead of snap. With flexible material, it can slip on over their head. My Mother doesn't have a problem with these. I haven't tried the Velcro idea because I was worried about it being scratchy or catch in my Mother's hair plus the edges are hard to work with needles in hand sewing so I opted for the string version.
This is awesome. How do I make them for toddlers? I understand the sewing part and snap just wondering about the sizing. Should I use handtowels or tea towels instead?
Hi Diana...a hand towel and tea towel are about the same size...I think for comfort around the neck ( I am thinking about bulk ) a tea towel would be more comfortable for a toddler BUT... I personally think a tea towel isn't as absorbent as a hand towel....I personally would use a hand towel but double and triple check ...so the fit is not to tight around the neck while eating...In short I guess I am saying I would leave more room around the neck part then an adult bib because of the bulk.....Thanks so much for watching!
@@SynnovesHome Thank you for the answer. I think I have a couple of hand towels from Dollar Tree I will try and see if I can get it right. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Doro… I would cut the entire seam around the neck right off the fold it over and make another seam exactly how you did it the first time this should give you about another inch around the entire neck.. if that makes any sense.. it’s a very simple fix and should work.. good luck!
I’m Constantly spilling on myself, I don’t know why, the food just seems to jump off my fork. My husband shakes his head and says he’s going to buy me a bib, lol, honestly I need one.
