Smock Bib Tutorial

This is a post I did a few years ago for another blog but since that one no longer exists I thought it'd be nice to have it available for you on my blog!  I have made these bibs for all 3 of my kids and I love them, especially for spaghetti nights. But really they come in handy for any meal, or art project.  I get so tired of scrubbing stains from their clothes and having these full coverage bibs has helped me out a lot.

Please enjoy the tutorial but this is for personal use only! Do not sell the tutorial or finished product. Feel free to share and pin it if you'd like though. Thanks!

Let's get started!

Don't worry, it's tiny but when you're done it'll be big enough- I promise!

Make sure you leave enough bias tape to tie a bow.

After you pin the neck on and fold in the ends of the bias tape,
sew along the open edge of the bias tape to keep everything in place.

Please try it on your child first to figure out the exact spot to sew the sleeve.  My 3 year old's bib sleeve turned out different than my 1 year olds' (meaning where I sewed the back of the towel to the front of the towel to form the sleeve.) Just pinch the spot or pin it and then take it off the child sew it.  I back stitched it a few times to make sure it was secure.

Enjoy cleaner kids after meals from now on.
