Well, you already know that I love sewing for babies. Whenever my relatives or friends have a new baby, I always gift them with my handmade baby gifts. That may include baby dresses, diaper covers, booties, and more.

But, there are times when I hardly find time to sew gifts, and often, I search for simple baby items to sew. The baby bandana bib is one such baby accessory that I would whip up quickly whenever I face a time crunch. Once the cutting is done, you can complete the bib in almost 15 minutes!

This baby bandana bib pattern is so easy to sew that any beginner can try it and I guarantee that the end result would be gratifying. You can even cut for a few bibs together and sew them in one sitting.

If you would love to play with different fabrics and prints, this bandana bib pattern is a great choice. You can also use your leftover scraps and turn them into useful baby bandana bibs.

Instructions:

Take the fabric for the bib outer, fold the fabric and place the template on the fold. Cut around the template to get the bib outer. Repeat on the bib lining fabric.

You will get your pieces like this.

Place the pieces right sides together and pin the pieces in place.

Using a 3/8″ seam allowance, leaving a 3-4” opening on one side, sew around the bib.

Cut notches out of the curve to reduce the bulk in the seam.

Using your turning tool, turn the bib right side out.

Using a warm iron, press around the edges. Make sure to press the raw edges of the opening inward.

Using a ¼” seam allowance, topstitch around the bib.

Next, you are going to install the Kam snaps. For each bib, you will need four plastic Kam snaps; two have a flat end with a point and two will have a hole. One that goes down (like an innie belly button), and one has a hole that goes up (like an outie belly button). Your kit also comes with an awl, which is a tool with a handle with a sharp point and a hand-held press (see photo for reference)

Next, measure where you want your snaps to go on either end of the bib, and push the awl through the fabric, making a small hole.

Now you are going to place the snap, which is the flat piece with the point on it, with the point coming into the hole towards the inside of the bib, with the flat end facing the outside of the bib. Place one of the snaps with the hole (it doesn’t matter which) on top of the point of the snap, and using the hand-held press, squeeze the snaps together. Repeat on the other side but reverse the side you have the snap and hole. If you need help, you can use the tutorial on the KAM website.
