Free pattern: Terry cloth backed baby bibs

These bibs would make a sweet gift for a new baby! Sew4Home has a free pattern for making them. They’re larger than a standard baby bib and have an absorbent terry cloth backing. They show them with strip piecing for the front, which is a great way to use your scraps, but you could also cut the front from a solid piece of fabric to showcase a cute print. Finished bib is approximately 9″ tall x 9 3/4″ wide (at widest point).
