Materials:

• Two coordinating fat quarters
• 60″ half inch bias tape
• Thermoweb Iron-On Vinyl
• Snap fastener kit
• Teflon presser foot

Instructions:

1. Begin by printing out your pattern pieces. The pdf file can be downloaded here.
   
   
    
2. Apply the vinyl following the directions on the packaging. Because you don’t want pinholes in your laminated fabric, I suggest tracing your pattern pieces onto the paper backing which will cling to the laminate while you cut.
   
   
    
3. Do the same with the pocket pattern piece, using your contrasting print.
   
   
    
4. Next, cut your pieces and pull off the protective sheet to reveal your laminated fabric pieces.
   
   
    
5. Fold your bib pocket along the fold line (Remember not to iron directly onto the laminate, use that protective paper!). Using a Teflon presser foot or an ultra glide foot, top stitch along the upper edge of the pocket. Use two rows of stitching for a more professional look but it isn’t necessary.
    
6. Stay stitch the pocket in place along the very edge.
   
   
    
7. Next, prepare approximately 60″ of half inch binding by folding it in half and ironing it. You can use a Clover Bias Tape Maker in the 1/2″ size to make your own coordinating bias tape. Begin applying the binding at the upper left neck edge as shown in the picture above. Carefully work your way around the bib.
    
8. Finish off your bib by adding a snap using a Dritz snap fastener kit in the 7/16″ size.
