Class Bib Instructions
Class Bib Instructions Pattern: Print and cut out pattern. Tape page 1 to page 2. Tape page 2 to page 3. Save C Crumb Catcher to use if you want to add it to your bib*. Fabric required: 1/2 yard of 2 coordinating non-directional fabrics for front & back. (For directional fabrics, use 1 yard each for front & back. Will make 2 bibs.) Iron fabric. Fold each piece lengthwise so folded fabric measures approximately 18″ x 36″. The finished bib will be approximately 15″ from the neck to the bottom of the bib. I suggest lengthening the pattern at the B Lengthen Here line by cutting along the line and moving it 3 or more inches down when pinning the pattern to the fabric. Pin pattern to fabric with center on fold line and cut out one from each piece of fabric to make front and back. With RIGHT sides together sew around bib 3/8″ leaving 3″ at bottom to turn. Clip where indicated. Turn inside out. Iron the 3″ area under 3/8″. Top stitch close to the edge all around. Sew Velcro on where indicated.
*If you are going to add a crumb catcher to the front, use pattern piece C and cut one of each piece of fabric. Sew RIGHT sides together at straight edge using a 3/8″ seam. Turn fabric so RIGHT sides of fabric are out, iron and top stitch along the straight edge only. Pin to the front fabric where indicated, matching bottoms of fabric. Instead of crumb catcher you can customize your bib by sewing a ruffle in the shape of collar to the right side of the front fabric (you’ll need 31″), a tie shape for a man’s bib, or a pocket before sewing the front to back.
