Chickpea Infant Bib pattern

 

The January free pattern download has arrived! I don't know if I'll be able to do this every month this year but it would sure be fun. Could it be a New Year's resolution... I'm afraid not. Last year I decided to try and go vegan but instead I got pregnant. I now sometimes will hide and eat McDonald hamburger in secret, destroying all evidence before I get home. Those resolutions can have weird side effects, be warned!

The pattern is for a small bib, that is easily customized with printable fabric or embroidery. It would make an excellent shower gift in multiples and is so light that you could send some all over the world. I have just loved making this pattern and the prototypes, using really bold print fabrics that are hard to fit in a quilt. They also go in the washer and drier nicely, where they wrinkle a little to a beautifully cool finish!

As usual with those, please only make bibs for yourself or as gifts, and not for sale. but DO send pictures, I just love pictures!

adorable, Juliette! perfect choice of fabric! The photos look great - I love that you used the abacus as a prop!

thanks so much for posting this.

I had been wanting to make bibs from bend the rules sewing but was too lazy to copy and enlarge the pattern. This came at the perfect time!

[juliette]

Thanks for you comment, note that this bib is a bit smaller than the bend the rules sewing bib. The neck hole is about the same size however.
I know what you mean about sizing up a book pattern... I hate it too. that's why the bib is in two pieces, so that it's ready to use hot of the printer!

Thanks for the pattern! I have just recently found your blog and have been enjoying it!

Perfect timing - thank you! I'm 36 weeks pregnant with Baby #2 and just discovered that the bibs are among the items that didn't last well through Baby #1. I know what I'll be working on this week...

I have also just recently discovered your blog and enjoy it very much. I hope you're able to continue with the patterns - I know I'll put them to good use!

I love this bib pattern, and appreciate you sharing it! As a matter of fact, I know several babies who are on the way, this is perfect! Thank you!
I also love your blog and wish you much happiness and joy with your little fellow. It shouldn't be too much longer? Best wishes!

i liked your flannel blanket/changing pad/burpcloth blog from january 1st, but we don't have a joann's anymore and i couldn't find any ultra cute flannel at hobby lobby, so when i saw the bib pattern i ran out and bought some fabric and made one. i have a few baby gifts that need to get out soon, and this was quick and easy. also, i have never tried any kind of "decorative" stitching, but i was inspired from your jan 1st blog and gave it a shot. i've posted pictures on my blog :) thanks for all the great ideas!!!

Thanks for such a cute pattern. My sister had a baby yesterday and I have all this old retro fabric I want to make her bibs with. I need to get going! I also have a friend who has created really cute iron on applique's from her original water colors that I want to put on the bibs as well. I will send a pic when I get them done. Check out the appliques at www.monkeyroos.com.

I made four of your bibs for my great-nephew and posted them today. Thanks for the pattern. Congrats on your baby boy too!

Thank you so very much for the bib pattern. I've turned out a dozen in the last week for the gozillion babies that my friends have just brought, or are about to bring, into the world. I'm putting some pics up on my blog.

Great blog!

This pattern is so great. I have made four of them and everyone who has seen them loves them too. Thank you so much for the pattern. It is easy, quick, uses little fabric, and is adorable! Thanks again.

Love the pattern. I just reduced the size to make bibs for our new foster baby. He's a preemie & bibs are impossible to find to fit him. He's got some issues with the milk oozing out & I need a bib that fits. Thank you again!!
