Lead Bib Alternative.
This guest post was written by OneMothersLove, a stay-at-home mom of a 3 year old boy and a 8 month old girl She has been married to my firefighter for almost 10 years! I would love to have your readers visit my blog and my Etsy Shop!
After reading some of the information on recent bib recalls over at NotChinaMade.net, I decided to take some of my fabric that I used recently for a diaper and make a bib!
I simply traced a store-bought bib, altered the shape to provide a little more coverage, and added a seam allowance. I can’t stand tiny bibs! The printed fabric is flannel, the back makes good use of an old towel, and I included a Velcro closure on it because I hate to tie things around baby’s neck.
This was so easy to make! I’ve been using some of my other extra fabric & have listed some more bibs in My Etsy Shop to go along with my tag blankets. I am also planning on adding the pattern to My Etsy Shop for those who want to make their own!And the test drive… it works for me!

Cute bib and thanks for the links!
Thanks for posting me!
I am sure you already know this and are aware, but one of the first things that helped me realize the China problem was when I went fabric shopping… alot of the fabric I found was Made in China! I did not notice, because I never even thought to check the bolt end! So I was avoiding china made clothes by buying china mad fabric and doing all the work myself! GAH!! Just in case you hadn’t thought to look!
Amazingly cute bibs by the way, they are very similar to my favorite bib pattern, but my kids keep growing, and I am running out of babies to make them for…
