Free sewing pattern: Reversible baby bib with side closure

One of my favorite baby gifts to give is a handmade bib, one that’s nicer than the ones you find the stores and made from a special fabric. I often make a stack of them in a sewing frenzy and then keep them on hand as last-minute baby shower gifts. Abby from Things for Boys shares a free pattern for making a reversible baby bib. Her bib has the closure at the side of the neck, with the neck band wrapping around the neck and attaching to the top of the bib. It’s a practical shape that allows for quick and easy bibbing. Go to Things for Boys to get the pattern and tute.
