Easy Bandana Drool Bib Tutorial

Categorized | Crafty Stuff, For the Little Ones

Posted on 12 April 2009. Tags: bandana, bib, DIY, drool, sewing

I posted pictures of my son wearing a cute drool bib and since they are so easy to make that I decided to do another and post a tutorial to go along with it. This one is made from repurposed materials! I used an old flannel receiving blanket for the backing (for absorbency) and on top fabric from a turtle neck that shrunk so much I couldn’t wear it anymore. The turtle neck was a jersey knit. You can use regular cotton, or be creative, just be sure your machine won’t bunch up the fabric when you are sewing. If you find any of these steps confusing leave me a comment and I will answer any questions.

Materials needed-
*Decorative scrap fabric large enough to make a 12x 12x 17 inch triangle
*Fabric absorbent enough to hold lots of drool for the backing, 12x 12x 17 inch triangle
*Velcro
*Pins
*Measuring tape

awesome, glad you like it. Just be sure to measure around his neck, this size is good for 0-5 months or so. Enjoy!

Excelent, made my daughter and my nephew one each tonight and will make a couple of spares aswell, I think they could do with being a little bigger for older children would you add an inch or 2 to each measurement?

Many Thanks for the detailed tutorial.
Had been looking at buying some, and now i can try my hand at making some, out of his old clothes/Bibs that no longer fit him.

Thank you so much for sharing your project with the rest of us. I’ve been looking everywhere for this pattern and all i’ve found was ones where I had to pay for. This is perfect and easy to follow for beginners like myself. Once again, thank you!

My son was about 4-6 months, for older babies I would suggest adding more width so that it fits around the neck.
