Bob the bib
This is the bib that you can create by following our design tutorial
① Measurements
Size
Drafted by the FreeSewing engine — a proper, sewable block. Wearing ease and seam allowance are already included.
② Fabric & layout
Drafting…
Suggested fabric
Cotton terry/toweling · Quilting cotton (front) · Flannel · Waterproof PUL backing
150–300 gsm (4.4–8.8 oz/yd²)
soft and absorbent
Back a soft cotton front with terry or fleece for absorbency, pre-wash everything, and use a snap or hook-and-loop closure rather than a button for baby safety.
Avoid: scratchy fabrics, loose weaves that fray
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
