Introducing the Bapron! aka the "baby apron". I hope the name doesn't turn you off (I know it's hopelessly cheesy), but this bib is really cool! It provides a ton of coverage in the front, much like an adult apron, and ties in back with bias tape! It's easy to make-I can whip one out in less than 1/2 hour (I've made a dozen or so, so I'm getting pretty quick!), even with making the bias tape myself.
Here's the back view with the cute ties! love!
Would you like to make one (or a dozen) of these for your own cutie, or for gifts?

1 – 200 of 270 Newer› Newest»boy do I love these. Super great. I am pretty sure I am gonna have to make some of these.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE this :) My baby girl just started eating 'solid' foods, and I'm all about a bib that'll stay on! Thanks! Your next project should be a bib with sleeves. A kid I babysit had one and it was awesome!
man, these would have come in handy a just a couple of years back! very cool :)
MAKING THIS!!!!!!
Oh man, I love this!!! Thanks for the tutorial, and I can't get over those cheeks she is sooo cute!
So adorable and looks totally functional... if only my daughter still wore bibs lol...
This is seriously awesome. I love it!
AAAAUUUUUGH. SERIOUSLY SO CUTE.
The Bapron is too. ;) hehe
I love it !! Is this clothes, can I add this to the roster for my KCWC stuff? hehe. I love it! I'm kind of afraid to make it, my friends might maul me to try get me to sell them some. Maybe I'll make it and hide it like it's illegal. ILLEGALLY CUTE. Riiight?!
love this jess! my aunt gave me a similar apron/bib that we just love, and it's really similar to this. They're so nice to wash up and use and of course they stay on the kiddos, hugely important!!!
YES! I'm jumping out of my seat with enjoyment! I have been thinking about making some bibs for my baby (who really isn't much of a baby anymore). She has two bibs and they're both the wipe-able kind but the velcro on one is already shot and the other one folds up in her face because it's all plastic-y and longer than she is.
Would you venture a guess as to how big of a kid this would fit? K is 14 months and 22 lbs.
Ok....confession time. I am one of those lurking blog readers who LOVES everything you do. Can you even imagine how wonderful you are for sharing your talent with us. I can't thank you enough. I now am blessed with two adorable Grandbabies ( I never knew my heart could be THIS full of joy) and I will be making one for each of them. So I will end this gushing note and get myself off to the my stash and sewing machine!!!!
The shoulder straps are genius! Charlotte is the cutest!!
This is exactly what I need. Time to get to work on it! Both of my girls know how to yank velcro off.
WHHAAAAAT?!?!?! I LOVE it!!! Seriously! SOOOOO cool Jess! WELL DONE!!! I gotta make a bunch of these!
You kill me with those cheeks every time. I don't have kiddos but we are always entertaining and people bring theirs along--I think I am going to make a few to have on hand!
Oh my goodness! The Japanese think of everything ;)
We're in the middle of packing up and moving, but my machine and fabric are still out, so I'm heading downstairs NOW to whip up one for each of my littles!
Thanks for the tute!
Um...she is the cutest lil thing ever!
Love your fabric choices, cant wait to make a couple of these:)
These are great, and I'm excited to try them out, but those cheeks on Charlotte are even better.
how cute. i wish i would have had something like this when my daughter was a baby. those tiny bibs did nothing.
this is very cute and great timing as I have been playing around with bib styles. Thanks
I need to make some of these for my 18 month old. She's figured out how to take her velcro bibs off and only wears them about half the meal.
I could not download the pattern and Explorer keeps shutting down when I attempt it.
Can't wait to make one!
I really want to give this a try!! these look very awesome!
I linked to this on my blog. Thanks for all the inspiration!

This is freaking awesome, Jess. My youngest hasn't worn a bib in about 6 months. I completely gave up and have just been stain-sticking the heck out of her cloths. I think she might leave this one on. Thanks!
charlotte is SO cute! and I love the bapron. ingenious!
Way cute! Thanks, this isn't too girly, and since I am having a boy, this will work great!
I think I might try this with plastic on the front of it. Hummm, this is just a great idea! Thanks again!
Those are so great!
this is amazing! i can't wait to try it!
Those are really cute (and ingenious!)
Love it!
Thank you so much.
and what a cute picture of Charlotte!
IN LOVE!!! Thank you so much!
I love it! I will definitely be making a few for my darling granddaughter, Saydee!!!! (great name, right?). Charlotte is adorable, as always!
Bapron=AMAZING! Genius really. I'm adding these to my to-do list. I'm pretty sure I add something from you at least once a week! Thanks for all the awesomeness!
WOW! These are so cool, I'm blown away how cool idea this is. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
I love this!! Thanks for the pattern :)
In love! Once again Jess...you are AMAZING.
Wow! I love this! Thanks for figuring it out for all of us. And that last picture of your sweet baby is so precious. What a cutie!
Can't wait to try it! Thanks!
This is sooo sweet. I will definitely put this on my list to do.
Charlotte is a cutie..!
and i love the idea of baby bib in apron style.. and also the name bapron..! haha
i love it..! and thank you so much for the pattern..! and printable link, really helpful...!
this is going on my to-do list..! :D <3
Awesome!! Thanks!! And Charlotte is BEAUTIFUL!!! What a sweetie:)
Well aren't you just brilliant. I wish you had posted this a few months ago before the youngest went all anti-bib on me. The funny thing is I have a photo of me wearing a bib like this a very, very long time ago and I always thought if I could only get a bib like that. funny thing is I totally couldn't figure out what the back looked like from the photo and I figured it was a totally crazy contraption. Thanks for sharing. I am making a few for friends. Maybe even Cenzo will let me put one on him. Especially since he discovered spaghetti with tomato sauce.
1. Sweet baby Charlotte is A-dorable.
2. This bib is awesome.
I will be needing loads of these soon, so thankyou for the tutorial.
I do love a useful but good looking bib. I'll be making a stack for my Will. Thank you
Ok, so I love this, and was going to make one, but I don't have facebook, and am not big on joining a bunch of stuff. Is there any other way to get the pattern?
Thanks.
cute bib, but I want to know about those pattern weights! They look amazing... tell me more! I tried hunting them down on your blog, but I couldn't find your blog's search feature and they weren't listed in the tutorial section. Please tell me more!!!
Thanks for the great pattern and tutorial! My cousin is having a baby in the fall and these would be great baby shower gifts!
I just made your bib and it is AWESOME! And that's using store bought very narrow bias tape. I taking pictures now and will put up on my blog soon!
Jess

I love this! It would make such a great baby present.
I love it!!! I have a friend with a brand new baby (and another friend with a baby on the way). I have a feeling I'll be making tons of these!!
I linked to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I can't wait to make some-lots! Thank you so much for sharing! This would make a great art smock for older kiddos too! THANK YOU!
Visiting from Ucreate today! This is absolutely fabulous! This is going on my "Must Sew" list! (somewhere near the top - my little one has just started solids!) Thank you so much for the tute!
I just saw this on Pinterest. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try to make a few of these.
Your daughter is ADORABLE!
I came hear from U-create. This tutorial is amazing. I need to make some baby gifts and this is the perfect project. Thanks for sharing it!!!
I just made this tonight, but the pattern printed way smaller than what it should have, with a header and footer. My baby is 5 months old so I still think it will work - we will see how it fits when she wakes up. The pattern is easy to follow and the final product is SO CUTE! Please make sure to double check the size before you cut your fabric.
These are so cute!! I know a couple of people having babies soon - might have to whip up a couple of these!
This is a great idea! ThANK-YOU so much for sharing. BTW, Your baby is absolutely gorgeous!!!
What is the best way to get 100% of the pattern..just copy as is and enlarge at a copy center (at 100%)....there doesn't seem to be a select size on the pattern....sorry for so many questions:)...love the bib!!!
Charlotte looks soooo cuuuute!!! love that picture in the end of her - adorable!!
Great idea with the bib, thanks for making it.
These are so cute. Can't wait to make some. Thanks for the tute.
We just had to share this with our readers!
http://oilclothaddict.blogspot.com/2011/05/great-idea-baby-arpon-bib.html
Super darn cute!!!
omg,,these are so stinking cute and look so easy to make. With two grandbabys on the way I will definitely be making a few of these. thank you for sharing.. and Charlotte is just adorable.
That is super cute and I LOVE the name! I'm a sucker for combo names like this. My husband and I are always trying to make them and crack up when we can't make it work. Thanks tons, I'll be linking.
Hi Charlotte!
You 're one lovely baby girl, you know!
So be a sweetie as you are, say "thank you" to your mom, and give her a big kiss for this tutorial
Love
Ela

Oh wow, this is so cute! I was needing a nice homemade gift for a very soon baby shower for a friend... this is it. My only issue is my fear of bias tape. I can never manage to catch both sides... But, I will be brave and attempt this for the sake of a good friend! Thank you!
This is so so cute! Charlotte is adorable! Thank you for sharing, I am looking forward to trying it out. x
A truly useful baby gift! This is wonderful! Thanks so much for the pattern and tutorial!
Libby
Thanks for the pattern. Love these. I have two new grandchildren born this year so I will be making lots of these bibs.
LOVE it! I will have to link from my creative blog www.apronsandapples.blgogspot.com Just became a follower! THANK YOU! I have 4 kids so tons of laundry and this would help for 2 of them!
It's cute thing! I linked your tutorial on our blog www.craftreport.blogspot.com . Thanks!
This is exactly what Mrs Baby and I need. You're awesome! I'll definitely be knocking a few of these up this weekend.
What a FABulous tut... You have made it so easy... It thrills me to see you young ones into making things for your youngins... Your baby is so adorable too... all the best...
Cute!!!!!!!! My compliments!
I LOVE these. I am all set to make a few for my lovely nephew Jack no!
Thanks for the pattern
Just wanted to let you know that I shared this on my blog.. I hope you dont mind,, full credit with link back given. Thanks
I shared these on my blog today.. Hope you dont mind. I linked back to your blog. Thanks
The bapron looks great!!! And Charlotte's makes me go awwwwwwwwww..... so adorable....
Jess,
Thanks so much for this pattern. This is just the cutest and that sweet baby! Ever more cute. ♥ Can't wait to make one.
I love this and made one today, but it seems small even though I printed at 100%...can you give a measurement from the center of the neck line to the bottom of the bib? That would help a lot. It's really tight on my 17 month old...
Thank you for sharing. I made my 19 month old one and now I need to make like 100 more. I gave you a shout out on my blog.
http://minasarah.blogspot.com/2011/05/barpon.html
I love this blog and the Bapron is great. please forgive me, but I had to show it on my blog :)
The Bapron is perfect!!! I must make a handful for my messy girl too :) Thank you SO much!
I love the Bapron, but oh my goodness Charlotte's cheeks are the cutest ever!! Just want to eat her up!! ;)
Brilliant! Thank you so very much for sharing...just brilliant...
This is EXACTLY what I need! My 11 month old rips off all bibs except the small cotton teething bibs and those just do not have the coverage for avocado and banana. I can't wait to make a dozen!
Adorable! And functional! Such a fabulous tutorial and just perfect for my messy Tess! Thanks.
My mom gave me some of these to use that she had from when I was a kid. They're awesome!!
BTW, there's someone on etsy selling baprons and she is using the picture of your sweet baby.
The Bapron is great and I know i will be making them for every baby I know (since i don't have any). BUT I have to say that your baby is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This is a great bib! I can't wait to make this for myself and friends. Thanks!
OMG! I am so tickled! I made one and added the pic to the flicker pool! LOVE IT!
This is AWESOME! There is just soooo many cute Japanese designs out there, it's ridiculous! I have been tinkering with the idea of a baby apron for some time now and I'm so glad I found you. I'm gonna make some for my wee one!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much for the tutorial! Here is a link to my post with pics of the bapron I made!
http://raleighwoodhouse.blogspot.com/2011/05/behold-bapron.html
And if it's upsized a bit it's a great craft apron for older kids. Love the covered shoulders!
I just made one using your tutorial for my wee one - it is such a lovely project, and the first time my sewing machine has been used since she was born 10 months ago. I've blogged it, credited you, and linked back to your post :o)
http://makey-cakey.blogspot.com/2011/05/bib-mini-m-cant-remove.html
I love the style of this bib! I have shared it on my blog: http://koolbeenz-blog.blogspot.com/2011/05/baby-apron-bib-with-tutorialpattern.html
I love this bib! Wonderful! I posted a link on my blog to your tutorial. I also have some pictures on there of some that I made. Thanks for this tutorial.
I made one today and it was a HUGE hit at the baby shower tonight! Here's the link to pictures on my blog: http://racheldquilting.blogspot.com/2011/06/bapron-for-kimberlee.html
Thank you so much for the tutorial!!
I made my first bapron this weekend. It came together like a dream. I made one change, I used terry cloth instead of flannel (I cut up an old hand towel). While it's definitely a little thicker, it's also more absorbent which is a must for my sloppy little eater/drinker.
Is there a way to get the download without signing up with that place? I'd really REALLY love to make a bunch of these but I don't want to sign up to the site. Please help! : ) Thanks so much! Oh! Your baby is adorable!!!
Blessings!
Thanks for the tutorial - made a pile for my grand daughters, my daughters love them! Also, I adjusted the pattern a bit and turned it into a doggy coat! You can see the finished product here:

Thanks again and have a great week!
Jen xo
ps - your little one is gorgeous!!!!
thanks for the tutorial, my little girl (who is also a redhead with blue eyes - and guess what - her name is coincidently also charlotte (it just is the best name!) will soon be able to sit and then she's definitely gonna need one. So thank you very much, its my favourite tutorial when it comes to baprons!
Hi.....thanks for this fab pattern but unfortunately I dont want to log in to FAcebook to download it. Is there some other way please? Could you email me the pattern? Sorry.
Thanks :)
Why is Scribd suddenly asking me to pay to print the patterns?
Thank you so much for this! I can't make to make one (or 12, and boy does she need them!) for my daughter - fantastic idea!
I tried to print this pattern and Scribd says it's archived so they are charging to use it. Sad. I hope my eyeballed version of your bapron turns out as cute.
WOW! 110 comments congrats! (now 111).I just wanted to say I found your blog through Pinterest, that featured a picture of the Bapron, on the cutest baby! I repined, wanted more info and happily reached your tutorial, which is wonderful, because I have every intention of making several of these by the time my newborn Grand Daughter "Charlotte" starts on solid food. I thought my Daughter had picked a name for our Charlotte that was hardly ever used today. But I am so amazed at all the beautiful Charlotte's I have come across since she was born 3 mth's ago. Your baby Charlotte is so beautiful .... you can see our Charly on my blog. I love your blog ... and I will return often.
Thank you sooo much for the tutorial. I loved it, so cute, so easy. I am linking up the ones I made here:
http://xstitchandcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/07/bibs-actually-baprons-for-baby-shower.html
Love your blog- keep up the good work!
Such a fun, easy bib! Can't wait to make another.
Hi...Just love your bib pattern and the tutorial is great...I do not have a facebook account, therefore cannot download the pattern...would you please email it to me. I have a new grandbaby on the way and would love to make some..thanks LindaB
linda@stationeryworld.net.au
Wow Jess...these are adorable! I gave it a shot and love them. I even altered the pattern to make a variety of sizes.
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern and great tutorial! I've shared a link back to you in my post today: http://thediyshowoff.blogspot.com/2011/07/diy-project-parade-and-handmade.html

Hi! I've made a bunch of these in laminated cotton for my daughter, but I'm thinking about making some as party favors for some babies. Did you find the fabric + flannel combo worked well for bibs? I'm thinking I might try either fabric + flannel or fabric + terry, just wondering how "clean" it will be. Thanks!
I cannot wait till the kids go to bed! I know what I will be doing tonight. These are awesome!I have a bolt of terry cloth, so I am going to use that on the back. Thanks for the free pattern!
This is so cute, I cannot wait to make one for my DGD, who continually pulls off her velcro-fastened CHEAPO bibs!
Over the past few weeks I have made 5 of these, for all the first birthdays of my mum & baby friends. I customised them based on the character and style of each little one, including applique ties and bowties for the boys, and button, patchwork, ribbon, flowers and hearts for the girls. Such a lovely pattern - thank you for sharing! I've linked back to your post.

I work in the nursery at a daycare and we are always spending $$ on the Velcro bibs! Only for the babies to pull them off and mess up clothes!! I'm going to try to make one/some for the babies!!!
Génial ! Thanks for the tute.
I am so making this for my almost 8 months old baby! Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing.
oh, and btw, Charlotte is super cute!
My daughter sent this link and we are totally addicted! I cut out seven Baprons last night and can't wait to get to the bias tape making. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're a genius.
Thank you so much for this pattern and instructions! I love it!! We are having our first G-baby in Dec. a girl and I will be making some of these!
Thanks again!
Brilliant! I will be making several of these for myself and for my friends!
Made it, loved it, blogged about it here: http://sandysewz.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-made-bapron.html
Thanks so much!!
I love this! I made one for my niece in girlish prints and now I'm about to make a "lobster bapron" for my son as we are headed to New England and will be eating lobster. It will be a lot nicer than those plastic ones the adults will have to wear! Thanks so much for this tut!
Love it! My grandaugjter Charlotte is four...a big girl that doesn't need a bib...but we will have a grandson in December perfect! Thanks!
Great post! I've added this link to both of my websites.
About Me
Here's the lobster bib I made with your pattern. Thanks!!
http://nicoleandtim.blogspot.com/2011/08/lobster-on-my-mind.html
Such a great idea! I would probably change a few things though... easy cleanup by making it out of laminated cotton... then you could add one of the "catch" pockets to the bottom to catch all the food that tends to slide all the way down. :) Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm always looking for cute baby shower gifts, I can't wait to use this! I have a couple coming up, so guess what they'll be getting :) Thanks for sharing the tute!
This is so cute. I am going to add a pocket on the front to catch all the big spills. Thanks.
Just made one this morning! Thanks for the pictorial. You give excellent directions. Going to give it as a shower gift this week.
Have been meaning to make one of these for ages and would really like to now that school started up again and my baby is 5 months old. I can't download the pattern though, unless I upload a pattern or pay. Any chance you could email it to british.mom(at)gmail(dot)com ? Thanks!
LOVE THIS! My daughter sent me a link to your blog on Tuesday because my grandson is going through lots of clothes since his bibs don't always cover enough. I have a bias tape maker so it was super-easy! Made 12 bibs last night out of stuff I had on hand - can't wait to surprise my daughter. Thanks for sharing!
Charlotte is soooooooooooo cute!!!
My daughter always refuses to wear a bib. I'm going to try to make 1 bapron and see if she's agreeable to that. That will saves me from loads of laundry! Thank you so much! :)
Hi Jess! I made one!!!
http://www.janeofallcrafts.com/2011/09/bapron.html
thanks for such a great tutorial!!
Hi Jess,
I really like the dotty fabric that you used for your bias tape. Do you remember where you got it from?
Awesome tutorial, thank you! I never felt inspired to just make a bib, I mean you'll get like 1000 different designs in stores and they hardly cost you anything. I just didn't feel I could contribute on the bib level, till I saw this tutorial!
I can't believe no company contacted you to get them produced on large scale :).
I'm going to post a picture of mine on the Flickr group now!
Great tutorial! I love your girls, they're so cute!! I have a pattern for a mega bib on my blog. I don't like using bias tape, so mine doesn't use it. It also has snaps to make a catch all scoop on the bottom.
Love, love , love your blog. I'm so excited to make some baprons for my grandson. What a terrific tutorial ;-)
I was wondering if I used print flannel if it could be reversable?
Or if I used a print flannel would it be necessary to use fabric also?
Thanks I love this idea. It is very cute
I love this tutorial and have loved making these baprons. I blogged about my latest attempts at http://7craftymamas.blogspot.com/2011/10/bapronim-obsessed.html. Thanks for such a great tutorial!!!
SO going to make this!! Thanks a bunch for the pattern! Thinking about adding a pocket in the front for spill catches...
Hello,
What a cute little model, isn't she beautiful !!
That bib look very practical, I just have to find a baby to wear it !? Thank you to share.
Cathie Jones
I love your pattern and would like to make your pattern. I think it's a great idea. But you have to jump through hoops to do it. It says it's a free pattern but when you pull it up, it makes you download a program and you have to subscribe to the service before you can print anything. It cost $9 a month. Don't say your pattern is free, if it obviously isn't.
Hi Kate,
The pattern that is posted in Google Docs is free: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0SrCE7gVlywNGZjMDc0ZGEtZDYwMC00Mjk0LWJhNWUtMzc5ZWU1YzUwNjEy&hl=en_US
But if you try the link to print the tutorial, it looks like you'll have to pay - just use the one in Google Docs :)
I have been needing this tutorial! I can't wait to whip a few of these up for my anti-bib daughter, because really, I am so sick of soaking all her stained clothes in OxyClean! Thanks so much!
i'm so glad your friend let you trace her bib and thank you for the tutorial! i am definitely making a ton for my little girl (store bought bibs do not cover anything!!!) this is just perfect!!!! oh, your little one is gorgeous!! :)
Thanks for this tutorial. I did one bapron, I love it !
That looks great. I will make these for my 6 month old baby.
Wow, I 'll be making this for sure! Too cute!
I think this is another pattern that will be going on my "go to" list for baby gifts. I have nephews galore, and a preggy workmate, so I can see plenty of these coming along. I plan to put PUL on the back, and maybe bamboo velour on the front.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I made one for my daughter's first bday bib and added an applique #1 and butterfly. It was so cute - feel free to check out our photos on Facebook.

Thanks again.

I just got my FIRST sewing machine, and while looking for a first project on Pinterest, stumbled across this tutorial! Now I know what to make with that ADORABLE piece of Pirate-print fabric I just found! I don't even know anyone with a baby boy, but I am sure I will someday soon! Thanks so much for sharing this, and making it look so easy!
OMG This is incredibly awesome! I saw it on Sew Mama Sew Handmade Holidays. I have a 18mo and # 3 on the way and fully intend to whip up a bunch of these. And what a great baby shower gift, too!
Just saw this on One Pretty Thing. Love this because it covers more of their clothes! My baby is spitting up like crazy and I think this would protect his clothes from getting all wet more than a normal bib would.
I don't have any babies to sew for, but the bib is just too cute! Your baby girl is adorable!
Thanks for making a wonderful tutorial... The finished bib was a little snug on my 1 1/2 year old grandson so they will make a great addition for the next baby shower that I attend. I posted photos of them on my blog Sweetcake Sews http://sewsweetcake.blogspot.com/
Is there anyway to purchase one?
I can't download pattern :(
I have just made 2 of these - they are just the cutest! I will blog about them later today!
I adore this pattern! Thank you for sharing! I made an adorable one for my cousin's little girl! I found the armholes on mine seemed much smaller than the picture in the tutorial. I'm pretty sure I measured and all the rest correctly. Next time I'll probably cut an extra couple inches on that piece (the 31 inch bias tape).
I couldn't leave a comment and not mention that your 'model' is just the cutest!!!
I have a sixteen month old and a preemie in the NICU, girl and boy! I have been looking for a project I can actually accomplish and love, and this is fabulous!
our first baby is on her way and I'm looking forward to welcome her with something I made.. but this bapron.. I must tell you, the model happens to be eight hunderd percent cuter than the product! Hope our baby is as cute as yours :D and thank you so much for the pattern, will definitely try it :)
Thank you for such a great tutorial!! I paired this with Calico's Diaper Strap for a great shower gift!
I blogged my photo with a link to the tutorial here:http://www.hellokirsti.com/2012/01/bapron-and-diaper-strap.html
thank you so much for sharing!! I LOVE it! I don't know how to sew but your directions are perfect, hope it turns out 1/2 as good as yours. thanks again!! (and your baby is beautiful!)
What a cute pattern! Thank for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing this bapron pattern with us. I'm expecting my first grandbaby (girl) any day. I'm sure I will be making a few or more. That little angel of girl of yours is just so gorgeous. Thanks again and have a Happy 2012.
I made one! No - I didn't. I made TWO! The first I followed the pattern size and for the second, I added about an inch to the size all the way around... (he's a growing boy!).
Question - is there a tip for the binding? Mine kept bunching up on me?
Thanks! And great tutorial!!
Thank you for this Tutorial and Pattern. I made two so far and have more fabric to make more :) I used laminate cotton so that it can just be wiped clean and I added a pocket along the bottom! My sister in law loves it.
Loved making this! http://birdandbicycle.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/enough/
Great tutorial! You've been featured on the Quality Sewing Tutorials blog.

Lindo! Eu amei o babador! Obrigada por disponibilizar o tutorial! Farei um para meu bebê! Charlotte é muito linda!
Um beijo
I saw some great adjustable aprons at at children's museum. The same idea might work on these. On the tops of the shoulders you would need to make a small sleeve, just large enough to fit the bias through (like the type you put the curtain rod through on a curtain). The arm hole bias would slip through the sleeve at the shoulder and tie around the neck as usual. I know "sleeve" isn't the correct term, but hopefully you understand. This might make it fit different sized children.
Can't wait to make this. Great tutorial!
Great tutorial! Thanks for the pattern, too! Our great-nephew will be getting some of these soon!
xoxo
Joy
I bought a sewing machine just so I could make these! My daughter won't be able to rip the bib off anymore!
I saw this on Pinterest and just had to say what a great idea! I'm looking forward to making a few!
I have a quick question: my friend is hosting a fundraiser for a family involved in a terrible car crash. I am hoping to use this pattern to make a few for the fundraiser. They will be sold, but not for my profit. I wanted to make sure that fit within your "personal use only" guidelines. Feel free to contact me via email:

Thanks! Julie
I started tp print out a pattern for this only to find My printer is on the blink, and for once I have plenty of ink...Ok So I drew it out on paper adjusted the size for a newborn and gradually up to about 6-12 mon. and I made several for the new baby coming in 6 or so weeks. I just love them and I am sure my grand-daughter will too for her little one. Thank you Thank you thank you

I love this pattern and made 3 of them for a friends first grandson. She sent a picture via iphone of him in one but I could tell it wasn't tied and looked snug at the top. He is only 6 months old and I guess he is just a big baby. Have you tried to make this bib larger?? And how did it turn out? I would love to make more but am afraid that I am making them for a very short time span.
@Camille-I haven't enlarged it yet, but it would probably work well...just add more to the fold and curve the bottom a little larger. Good luck!
Hi, I was unable to download the PDF pattern. Can you send it to me?
Thanks,

Ugh, I had problems accessing the pattern file as well. Can you send? darcie.white@gmail.com Thanks so much for sharing.
I absolutely LOVE this bib!! It was so easy to make and the pattern is great. Thanks.
This pattern is great. Made it with a waterproof material for cloth diapers because I have a teether that drools nonstop.
This is so cute, so practical, and perfect for any little sweet-heart. Thanks for sharing!!!
These are awesome!! Thanks~!
wow i wish i knew how to sew cause i'd be all over this! LOVE this!
Thanks for sharing. it's so cute, I will make one for my kids.
I just started learning how to sew and this is a great first project! After a bit of trial and error, ripping some seams out here and there, I made one! The bias tape was too small for me to wrap around the fabrics, so I ironed it flat then folded it in half and used a zigzag stitch near the edge - LOVE how it looks but we'll see how it holds up in the wash. I'll try and post some pics soon.
Any suggestions on making this bigger for an older kid (say, 4-5)? I'm not good at making my own patterns, but I'm guessing printing the whole pattern to a larger scale will make the neck or arms too big. Thanks! karla@westernesse.com
Thank you, I love it!! Could you please e-mail me a copy of the pattern? I can't open it. Greetings form France! Noelle
This is a great project! I love that it can be made from a fat quarter too! Gonna have to make a bunch for a few baby showers coming up this spring!
Too cute! I added a pocket, used PUL fabric... and presto!!!! the perfect Bapron!!!
So I'm a new mom, a full time student, I work, and besides not having time, I don't actually know how to sew; and the sewing machine we have is broken. But I'm highly interested in these. I think they're fabulous. I'd be happy to pay someone to make a few for my daughter. armsb7298@uwc.edu Email if interested! Thank you!
Love the Bapron! My little girl is wearing the one I just finished making minutes ago . . . I made it reversible with a layer of flannel in the middle, but realized that I am not great with bias tape and it's hard to get both sides looking perfect. I am definitely making more, and some for shower gifts! Thanks for sharing.
Just sent out a box of eight bibs made from your pattern for a group called Love Without Boundaries. Had a great time experimenting with different widths of bias tape and used up some fabric that has been in my stash for an embarrassingly long time. Love the simple, practical design and am going to add your bapron to my list of go to things to make for baby shower gifts. Thanks for the terrific tutorial.
