The bib becomes essential as soon as the baby begins to receive complementary foods. As a rule, complementary foods are given from a spoon. A small child does not immediately begin to understand how to eat unusual food from such an unusual object, therefore, during feeding, a nuisance may happen. A bib is also necessary for an older baby who is already beginning to use a spoon on his own. For a little person, this is a very complex wisdom. So if you don't want to wash your dresses and shirts after every feed, take care to protect your clothes. It is better to immediately sew 5-6 bibs for the baby so that they can be changed regularly.
It is necessary
- - a piece of fabric 30x30 cm or 2 pieces for the top and bottom layers;
- - a piece of oilcloth or polyethylene;
- - wide tape 80 cm;
- - scissors;
- - needles;
- - threads;
- - sewing machine;
- - a pencil or a bar of soap.
Instructions
Step 1
The bib can be sewn from any fabric, as long as it washes well. It can be not only cotton, but also any artificial fabric, like nylon. You can make one of the bibs simply from children's oilcloth, sheathed it with an oblique inlay or tape. But you can also make a waterproof pad for a cotton bib.
Step 2
Enlarge, print and cut out the pattern. Fold the fabric for the top in half with the right side inward. Align the line that marks the fold on the pattern with the fold of the fabric. Circle the pattern, leaving a small seam allowance. Cut out the bottom in the same way.
Step 3
Fold a piece of oilcloth in half and circle the pattern in the same way as you did on the fabric, only without any allowances. Cut the workpiece along the bottom edge by 0.2-0.3 cm so that it can be freely nested between the layers of fabric.
Step 4
Fold fabric blanks, wrong sides to each other. Baste and stitch a semicircular seam from shoulder to shoulder. Since you will process the bottom with braid or tape, you do not have to bother with turning the product, trimming corners and other sewing tricks.
Step 5
Cut a piece of tape exactly to the size of the bottom seam. Fold the tape in half lengthwise, right side out, and iron. Place the bib blank inside the resulting tape, aligning the shoulder lines with the ends of the braid. Baste the tape, then stitch on.
Step 6
Place a waterproof pad between the layers of fabric. Baste the throat seam and stitch it, also on the right side. Cut a piece of tape equal to the neck seam, plus 15-17 cm on each side for the ties. In the same way as for the bottom seam, fold the tape in half lengthways and press the fold. Tuck the bib inside the tape, leaving the pieces of tape for the ties. Baste and stitch from the end of one tie to the end of the other. The ends of the braid can be overcast or burned, depending on what it is made of.
