a blue bib hanging on the wall with a hole in it's center

For several years while my mother was in assisted living, she made and sold many adult bibs to other residents. I recently had a request to make some. I have on old one of hers to go by but that was not enough information. I learned some helpful hints from my sister who had made some so I decided to write up the directions to help others in the future. We used a kitchen towel. It is better if any design is one way. You also need about 1 ½” of Velcro and extra wide double fold bias tape which…

Many years ago when my daughters were small, I made t-shirts for them. My friend Wendy taught me how to sew on the neck ribbing. During that time my mom asked me to make a bib for dad. He came home everyday for lunch, and she didn't want him to spill on his dress clothes. At that time, I took a towel, cut a hole in it and used the tshirt neck rib technique. He used it for years. Now thirty five or more years later, dad asked me to make him another bib. He usually tucks a dish towel in his…

I saw this idea on Pinterest as an apron from a man's shirt. I revised it to make adult bibs that require no reaching around to the back to fasten. First, cut off sleeves Then, cut from just below armpit to the collar, cut back of shirt off, leaving collar intact Input from Edith: She told me today that the buttons are a problem for the elderly. So next time, I may sew velcro behind the buttons and over the buttonholes. 3-25-12: I got on a roll today!! I was a machine!! A sewing machine…
