Baby bibs are as easy to make as:
1. Trace a store-bought bib onto heavy paper to create your own pattern. Using the pattern, cut out two pieces of fabric, one in waterproof PUL and one in any 100% cotton print.
2. Sew around the perimeter of the fabric, wrong sides together, using a simple straight stitch. Pin and sew on double-fold binding to finish the edges.
3. Add a snap to the top of the bib to complete it. (You could also use velcro.)
My favorite part, as always, is how quick, easy, and cheap this project is. I used scraps of PUL fabric (leftover from a different project I've been working on) for the back and leftover scrap fabric for the pretty fronts. I think you could definitely use cotton for the front and terry cloth for the backing, rather than using PUL. (You can find PUL fabric at Jo-Ann's.)
Adorable. I have two more almost done and many more ideas in my head!

What a great idea! You might want to also try adding ties rather than snaps on some of them. Once they get older they tend to like ripping them off...frequently. ;-)
