Sewing pattern: Upcycled bibs from outgrown baby clothes

Sewing tutorial: Upcycled bibs from outgrown baby clothesIt’s no secret that babies grow fast.  Sometimes that special outfit gets worn only once or twice before it’s too small.  Cathi from Scratch & Stitch has a great idea for those outgrown baby clothes – turn them into bibs!  It takes a lot longer for a baby to outgrow a bib, so you’ll get lots of use.  This is also a great project for baby clothes that have gotten stained, especially you’re able to cut the bib pieces in a way to avoid using the stained portion.
