Bib tutorial {and a hundred other things}

Posted by & filed under Sewing, tutorials.

Today is a big day because I feel like I have about a million things to tell you/show you/ask you.

I’ve been given the AMAZING privilege of tossing my sad, sorry garage sale sewing machine to the wind and replacing it with a piece of the computerized sewing promised land that literally finds it’s way into my dreams at night. (I wish I were kidding. I really do have dreams about it.)

Brother Sewing Machines has made it possible for me to put together some fantastic tutorials for you all and I am so humbled and excited to jump right in!

Wait. Can I show you the machine first?

Here she is:

And here she is without her skirt on. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s cool.

As soon as the angel’s choruses end we can get back to what I was saying.

There.

Anyway, tutorials! Lots of them! And the very first one is beginning right now – so get your sewing things together and let’s get started!

Y’all want a really basic, easy sewing project that is useful whether you have kids or if you are in need of a unique and much-appreciated baby shower gift?

This is one of my favorite projects. I have been selling these bibs and burp cloths in my Etsy shop since January 2010 and at last count I think I had made over 150 of them! I love picking gorgeous fabrics and gifting them to new moms. (Also, as you can imagine, Hazel has a few of her own.)

So, without further ado,

The Large Bib Tutorial

Photobucket

Things You’ll Need:
  • 1 fat quarter of main fabric (a fat quarter {FQ} is a quarter of a yard of fabric that measures about 18″x21″. They normally cost $2.75 or less. Here’s a good place to find one. You should have no trouble getting either 2 bibs or a bib and a burp cloth out of one FQ.)
  • 1 fat quarter of backing fabric (I always use cream chenille. It’s so soft – especially after washing! – and absorbent. It’s $12.99/yard at JoAnn’s but it’s extra wide and I always buy it with a coupon.)
  • Pins
  • A sewing machine
  • Scissors
  • 1 set of snaps
  • Coordinating thread
  • Iron
  • The large bib printable pattern (or, for smaller babes, try the small bib printable pattern)

Get Started:

Print the two pages of the printable pattern and cut out the pieces.
Photobucket
Overlapping the two pieces, line up the crosshairs (it may help to hold it up to the light to get it just right) and tape it all together.
Photobucket

 

Fold an edge of your pretty main fabric just enough so that you can fit the bib pattern on it with the word “fold” lining up with the fold of the fabric.
Pin the pattern to the fabric.
Photobucket
Now cut the fabric out, using the pattern as your template. Easy!
Photobucket
Do the same thing with your chenille fabric. EXCEPT – don’t cut out the little neck opening area. It’s no big deal if you do, but you’ll be able to cut it out later and this way you don’t have to worry so much about your cut pieces lining up exactly.
Photobucket
Once you get good at this you can cut a ton of backing pieces out in one sitting. This way you can make a bunch of bibs really quickly when you forget to buy a gift for a baby shower that starts in an hour. (Not that that has EVER happened to me!) Just saying, it’s handy to have a few pre-cut backs around if you think you will use them.
Photobucket
So, here you stand with your main fabric and your backing fabric. So far, so good!
Photobucket
Now lay the backing fabric soft-side-up on your ironing board. Then lay your main fabric pretty-side down on top. (Or, I guess I could have just said “right sides together”)
Give them a good spritz with your spray bottle then press them together really well with your iron. (Ironing them together actually makes the long threads of the chenille lay down so the top fabric will shift less when you’re sewing.)
Photobucket
Pin the main fabric to the backing fabric.
Photobucket
Time to sew!
Photobucket
Oh no! Now she’s got her top up! Let’s move along…
Load your coordinating thread into your machine.
Photobucket
And set your stitch length to about a 4. (It’s okay to use a longer stitch length here because you’ll be topstitching later. This will also make it easier for the bulky fabric to glide nicely under the presser foot.)
Photobucket

Begin stitching about 4″ from the bottom of the bib on the right side. Be sure to secure your stitch with a backstitch when you start.

Photobucket
Sew all the way around the edge of your main fabric.
Photobucket
If you get nervous when you get to the tighter curves, you can always adjust your stitch length to something shorter so you can be more precise.
Photobucket
Or you can slow down the speed of your machine so you don’t feel like it’s taking you on a crazy ride around the curves. Stay in control!
Photobucket
When you get around to the bottom DO NOT stitch all the way to where you began. Stop short, leaving a 2″-3″ gap so you can turn your bib right side out.
It’s always a shame to sew your bib shut.
At the end of your stitch, sew another reinforcement stitch, then cut your threads and pull it out of the machine. (Yes, my machine cuts the threads for me. It’s a great party trick for when guests come over. “You should see it thread the needle!”)

Photobucket

Now we just need to trim the excess fabric from around the corners.

Cut the bottom corners close, but definitely take care not to cut too close – it’s a shame to have to go back and restitch things.

Also, trim around the upper curves. Now is the time when you can cut out the neck hole from the backing fabric.

And very importantly: snip little snips into the curve of the neckline, about 1/2″ apart so that when we turn it right side out all that seam allowance will be able to spread out and take the curve.

Photobucket

But please, in the name of all that is good and well-made, don’t cut through your stitching.

There. All trimmed.

Photobucket

Now, to turn it right side out.

Start with one side of the collar, then move to the next. It’s going to take some finger work (or you can use a dowel or the eraser side of a pencil, maybe even the dull side of a bamboo skewer), but you’ll want to be sure to really thoroughly press the seams out from inside.

Photobucket

It will start out looking like this:

Photobucket

But after some good convincing, you can get it to look more like this:

Photobucket

Spritz it good and press it well. Take care to turn in the raw edges of the fabrics at the opening when you iron.

If you have a tag, this would be a good time to slide it in place in the gap you’ve left.

Photobucket

Now for the topstitch. I’m telling you, the topstitch makes all the difference in making this bib go from “homemade” to “where did you have that made?”.

Start just above the opening and sew it closed first. Keep sewing all the way around until you are back to where you started. Backstitch, snip threads, and…

Photobucket

You’re done!

Okay, well you’re almost done. You still need to install the snaps.

No biggie – just follow the directions on the package and use whatever tools work for you. (I use Ryan’s hammer and one of Oliver’s blocks. I’m resourceful like that.)

Photobucket

Okay, NOW you’re done!

Photobucket

Feel awesome?

Great, ’cause you can also use these same steps to make a smaller bib (for younger babies) and a burp cloth.

To make the burp cloth, just cut 11″x17″ pieces of your main and backing fabric. And for the smaller bib, you can use this printable pattern as a cutting template. Just follow this tutorial, and skip the snap part for the burp cloths.

Feel even more awesome?

Great, ’cause here comes the good part. This is the day we’re going to get everything in one place.

I would love to have some feedback from y’all! I’ve gotten lots of requests for different tutorials and such that I have definitely been keeping track of. BUT – I’d love for this to be the place where we get all the requests together at once.

So, what do you want to see? Camera strap covers? Basic sewing skills? Please, name it and I’ll see what I can do.

And the payoff? Every comment will be an entry. I’ll choose a winner Saturday night and the winner will receive the bib I made in this project and a coordinating burp cloth as a prize. Even if you can’t use it for yourself, it’s perfectly gender neutral so it can make a great gift too.

Aaaand, one more thing. I’ve just opened my very own Flickr Pool. (See it over there on my sidebar?) Y’all are so good about sending me photos of the project you make with my tutorials that I think it’s a shame not to get the share them as a community. So, have you made a clock or a onesie dress or a mustache shirt? Any oven mitts or baby headbands out there? Please,jump in the pool! Post photos from past projects (there are lots to choose from) or from today’s tutorial. I can’t wait to see!

Okay, that’s all. Phew, that was a long post!

Happy sewing! And, Flickr pool-ing! And requesting!

**Y’all are still welcome to comment, but the last comment that counts in the giveaway is Claire’s. I’ll announce a winner tomorrow.**

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received the Brother NX800 machine mentioned above for free in exchange for a mention of the product in my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

    Camera strap covers would be useful for people – I am making those as a fundraiser for my 60-mile breast cancer walk I am doing in September.

    Something other than tutorials could be sewing knowledge in general – stitch length, thread types, etc.

    >I'd love to see a few tutorials on little tops or dresses for toddler girls. Perferrably something simple though since my skills are still pretty basic.

    Maybe some tutorials on basic sewing skills would be good too. For instance…
    1. I've seen baby blankets with really pretty satin trim all the way around and I'd love to learn how to sew that on a blanket.
    2. How to make corners on a basic baby blanket look pretty.
    3. Tips on sewing stretchy fabric…are you supposed to use elastic thread? are there any special machine settings for elastic thread?
    4. Tips for cutting straight when you have a large piece of fabric (like when making a blanket). When I try to make a square blanket, the sides never match up right.

    >Dude, please do not take this comment as an entry, because I have lots of bibs and burp rags of my own creation sitting around my sewing room. :) Please ignore this as an entry. (Although the dots are gorg.)

    ANYWAY. Great tute! You made it great and clear and concise. Did you know that awhile ago I purchased the $23 or so (with a coupon) contraption to install pearl snaps "more easily," and I ended up taking it back because it was ridiculous? Never waste money on it, in case you were wondering. Hammer and a spool of thread (or block!) is all you need.

    I'm going to buy the ruffler foot in a day or so, so I want to see a tutorial with ruffles so I can make sure I'm using mine correctly. I have purely selfish motives.

    Hi Raechel! I hope you read this comment since this post is form a while back but I just found it and love it! I live in Germany and I’m self-teaching how to sew ;) I wanted to make a bib for my son and found your post absolutely helpful! So I went to buy the cream chenille but was told (and something might have been lost in translation because my German is still on the works) that chenille is really hard to find because it’s a “special” fabric… I guess I need to go look for it someplace else but was wondering if you have any recommendations for fabric substitutes?
    Thank you!

      Hi Tania! You can use any kind of terry cloth! You just need it to be a absorbent and sturdy. Honestly, you could cut up some old or inexpensive towels to use for the backing!
      best of luck!

I am currently attempting to make doll clothes for raggedy an and andy dolls my mom had made before she passed away and am not getting the 1/4′ seam allowance when it comes to hemming the apron plus it keeps puckering on the thin fabric my mom had for it so tutorials on those would be helpful :)
