Bow Necktie Drool Bibs…for BOYS! (from a Men's shirt)
The day my kids go back to school after winter break is when the New Year officially starts for me. Because while they're even so home, I'm still in vacation mode. The routine is off, anybody stays upwards afterward, nosotros play a niggling harder, watch more than movies, eat more treats, and everyone sleeps in a little later (hallelujah!).
But today is the day that the kiddos start back to school. Then, 2015 starts TODAY for me. Happy official New year, friends!! :)
And what'south a new year without a few goals?! I haven't written anything down but I have a few things I've been stewing over and trying to ameliorate from last twelvemonth. Okay expect, allow's be existent…..I'm still trying to work on 2014'due south goals. And 2013's, for that matter. Baby steps, though, correct? ;)
Anyway, one of my short term goals is to stop the pile of one-half-finished projects that I take sitting in my craft room. In that location are several of them that I was really wanting to finish before Christmas. Just well, a tornado hit my firm in December (a figurative one) and I'm still trying to effigy out where that whole month went.
So, the kickoff unfinished project that I rescued from the debris of my craft room?? Picayune DROOL BIBS for Oliver. Because this baby of ours has a leaky faucet for a mouth!
These bibs are made from old push button-up shirts of Steve's that I have hoarded over the years (for who-knows-when-I'll-need-them occasions such as this). And rather than roofing upwards a cute infant outfit — these pretty much Brand the outfit!
If you have a drooler, then you know the aggravation of which I speak. A soaking wet shirt, spits marks on everything, rashy pare beneath the wet habiliment, etc.
And just to aid show my point, Oliver started drooling right on cue. (Ha. I beloved this squishy footling male child……even if he is a drool ball!)
And because I knew i new bib wasn't going to cut it, I made 3. All with different little bow ties!
Go on buddy….drool all yous want!
For the closure, I added a very simple snap, merely you could easily attach Velcro if you adopt.
The forepart of each bib is cutting from a push-up shirt and a chip of scrap fabric for the bow tie, just because it's cute. But the back has a layer of absorptive terry fabric, to help up soak up the drool. Cute AND functional!
So the entire thing is soft and comfy…perfect for baby peel!
Oh, and don't worry virtually those niggling bow ties — they are securely sewn to the bib, around all the edges. And so they're non going anywhere. :)
Okay, and then for those of you who think in that location aren't many beautiful little accessories for baby boys (don't worry…I concord) — this i'due south for you! Fifty-fifty if your niggling guy (or someone you want to make this for) doesn't drool much, you're going to demand to make one (or more) of these anyway…because holy smokes, they're just as well cute! :)
***In instance you're wondering, YES, I do munch on this little kid All. Twenty-four hours. Long. How could I not?!!

Okay, let's get started and gather a few things!
Supplies:
- old push button-up shirts (or you can just buy cotton fabric if you adopt)
- terry material (I just bought some discount terry cloth manus towels…but don't purchase super thick ones or it will exist as well difficult to sew)
- analogous fabric for bow ties
- metal snaps (tutorial for attaching snaps hither)
- Bib Design Pieces (free pattern pieces here)
Print out your bib design slice and utilize to trace around your fabric that is folded in half (every bit directed on the pattern piece). OR, trace the bib design onto a total sheet of newspaper to create a full bib pattern slice.
So place your pattern piece on peak of your shirt fabric and center it downward the front of the shirt. Cut effectually your pattern piece.
***I actually sewed the opening of the shirt closed commencement, just to exist sure that the button placket never opened.
Repeat with your terry cloth fabric. (However, I found out subsequently on that it's actually better if you cut the terry cloth piece near 1/2 inch larger effectually all edges because terry textile is a looser weave and it tends to unravel. And then adding more fabric around all the edges volition make things easier when turning right side out and manipulating the fabric.)
Now, place your shirt piece and your terry cloth slice together, with right sides together, and sew together using a 1/4 inch seam assart around the shirt fabric edges. However, leave virtually a 3-4 inch opening along i side for turning your bib right side out.
Turn the bib right side out through the opening.
And then tuck the opening towards the within 1/4 inch, pin in place, and and then iron the entire bib apartment. Then top-stitch around the unabridged bib, about 1/viii of an inch from the edges.
***And at this stage, information technology's also recommended to be sure your buttons are securely fastened….and to add several more tight stitches if needed. Baby wearable does have buttons on it and so at that place's no demand to remove them, but it's e'er a good thought to make sure they are very securely fastened!
Next, cut ii Bow Necktie pieces and ii Bow Tie Center pieces from your fabric.
Place them together with their corresponding pieces, with right sides together, and sew together all the way around both, using a one/four inch seam assart.
And so trim off the corners of both pieces. (more than info on cut corners and curves here)
So, make a slit along the back layer of material (making sure to not cut through the front layer of material)…
…and then plough each shape right side out through the slit you made. Poke out the corners with a pencil or some other similar object.
Then iron each i apartment.
Now, place the Bow Necktie shape onto the bib (with the slit facing down) and sew effectually the entire shape. Then, place the Bow Tie Center piece on superlative and sew around that as well. (Sorry, I forgot a picture of the center piece sewn in place.)
Lastly, add your snap pieces to the ends of your bib. (How to attach snaps Here)
And that's it! A super beautiful Bow Tie bib……set to place effectually your little drooler's neck!!
Savor!
