#### Before we start: One layer or two?
|
|
|
|
First thing you need to figure out is whether you're going to make a 1-layer (simple) bib,
|
|
or do you want to make one out of two layers.
|
|
|
|
A two-layer bib gives you more options, as you can use an absorbent backing layer like
|
|
terrycloth, yet still have the entire cotton selection of your local fabric store available
|
|
as your choice for the front layer, aka the visible one.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Optional: Join layers
|
|
|
|
If you decide to go for two layers, simply join them together at the edges before applying
|
|
the bias tape.
|
|
|
|
You probably want to pin or baste this prior to sewing. The two different types of fabric
|
|
will behave differently, so secure them in place prior to sewing the together.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to sew close to the edge so that the stitches will be under the bias tape
|
|
finish later.
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Apply bias tape
|
|
|
|
We're going to apply bias tape as a finish around the entire edge of the bib.
|
|
|
|
You probably want to start at the bottom strap, as this way the joint of the bias
|
|
seam will be covered when the bib is worn.
|
|
|
|
Just work your way around, and take your time.
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Install snaps or button
|
|
|
|
Next, install the snaps on the straps, as indicated on the pattern.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have or want snaps, you can also use a button + buttonhole.
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: You're done!
|
|
|
|
That was easy 😃
