To make a two-sided pattern as shown above, print off two patterns and tape them together. I like to print it off of cardstock for a sturdier pattern that can be used over and over. Make sure to choose the correct size.

Stack two pieces of fabric on top of each other and lay the pattern on top. Pin it in place or use a pattern weight.

Using a pair of scissors or a rotary blade and mat cut around the pattern.

Sew around the bib using a 3/8ths-inch seam allowance. When you reach the point of the bib, lower the needle, lift the foot and pivot the fabric.

This will help you to create a sharp point.

Leave a two-inch opening along one side of the bib for turning.

Trim down the seam allowance along the entire bib excluding the part that has not been sewn.

At the tip of the bib snip the fabric horizontally close to, but not through the stitching.
