Many many months ago I tested the Keep Clean Bib pattern for Jen of Lea & Lars. Oscar wasn’t quite ready for bibs back then, and it somehow got lost in a mountain of unfolded fabric until just recently. But the timing is perfect – it fits, he’s a slob, and this thing has full coverage!
We had a similar bib from Ikea when Lila was a baby, but this one is better – the front is lined with flannel, and it’s so long that it doubles as bib and napkin-in-your-lap. Which is perfect, since it eliminates the need for the dishtowel I’d been using protect those fancy trousers he likes to wear.
I bought the Kokka cars when I found out I was having a boy…you know, because I’d heard that boy babies like car fabric. And the green stripes are Sunkissed by Sweetwater for Moda. Luckily it all coordinates nicely with the new high chair cushion.
Anyway, the pattern is quick and simple-to-sew, and I think we’re going to get a lot of use out of this bib now that it’s been unearthed from the pile!

cute! What a clever pattern. My girl is starting to ruin a lot of clothes since I often forget to put the bib on before I put the food on her big chair plate!
What a cute pattern on a gorgeous baby 🙂
Oh, such perfect timing! My boy is a messy eater too and he has a few of these – bought ones. I was about to order some more and checked your blog at the same time and here is a pattern for one! Excellent. I’m off to buy it right now…
I still love the fabric you chose for this! Thanks again for testing the pattern for me!
i can attest to the fact that this kid, though a fantastic eater, is a bit messy. perfect bib for him!
Oh so sweet! Love the two fabrics together… I have some of the Kokka cars in a pile waiting to be used in some more projects – finding boy fabric is fun!
