Patterns
 

Instructions:

1. Download patterns and cut the pieces according to the patterns.
   2 cotton sleeves
   1 terry cloth fabric front piece
   1 waterproof fabric front piece for the inside
   1 strip of cotton fabric of 45" x 1 1/2" (binding for the edges)
   1 strip of cotton fabric of 24" x 1 1/2" (binding for the neck and ties to tie)
    
2. Place the terry cloth piece and a sleeve on a table, right sides together, and then place the waterproof fabric piece on top, with the wrong side of the sleeve facing the right side of the waterproof piece.
   
   
   
   Do the same with the other sleeve.
   
   
    
3. Sew along both edges with straight stitch and reinforce with a zig-zag. Turn it right side out so that the seam is sandwiched between the two body pieces.
   
   
    
4. Align each sleeve and sew with straight stitch from wrist to armpit.
   
   
    
5. Take the strips of fabric and make the two bindings. You won't need to finish the ends of the longer binding, but you will need to finish the ends of the shorter binding since it will be used for the tie at the neck.
   
   To finish the ends, cut the ends in a V shape.
   
   
   
   Fold and iron both tips, wrong sides together.
   
   
   
   To make the binding, fold 3/8" over on one side, wrong sides together, and iron.
   
   
   
   Fold 3/8" over on the other side and iron. The long edges should meet in the middle.
   
   
   
   Fold on the middle and iron.
   
   
   
    
6. Place the longest binding all around the edges of the bib except in the neck. With right sides together and aligning the edges, sew the binding and body together with a straight stitch. Make short clips in the seam allowance around the curves.
   
   
    
7. Then fold the binding inwards...
   
   
   
   
   
   ... and sew along the edge.
   
   
    
8. Mark the center point of the short binding. Mark the center point of the neck opening on the front pieces. Aligning the center marks and having right sides together, sew with a straight stitch.
   
   
   
   Then fold the binding inward and sew along the edge.
    
9. Turn the sleeves wrong side out. To form a casing, turn under 1/4" and then 1/2" again along the wrist.
   
   
    
10. Sew along the folded casing edge with straight stitch, leaving a 3/4" opening.
    
    
     
11. Attach a safety pin on one end of a 5" piece of elastic and pass it through the casing until you reach the opening again. When you work with short pieces of elastic, you may want to pin the other end to the fabric.
    
    
     
12. Pull both ends of the elastic, Overlap the ends and sew with a zig-zag stitch.
    
    
    
     
13. Close the opening with a straight stitch.
     
14. Done!!
