Adventures in Adult Bibs

So, my brother requested adult bibs for one of his in-laws. This was a great opportunity to make a bunch of adult bibs in different designs, because you know that I like to make things in batches. So, after a rummage through my larger fabric options and a trip to the local fabric store, I got to work on these beauties... functional Velcro and all. I really like the way they turned out.


Above: Since my brother works at Texas Tech, the licensed fabric was a good choice. Patterned fabric on the front and solid fabric on the back tends to be my go-to, though I experimented with some different options.

Below: The two fishing fabric bibs were made from fabric that I bought for this project. I actually made 4, but only pictured 2 because the other 2 are part of what I made for my brother. The others were all fabrics I had in my stash. If you have been with me for very long, you might recognize the panda material from a quilt I made a few years ago.



The panda material had a few options for the back side material. I decided on chevrons for one and polka dots for the other. I think both of these turned out cute.


This chevron fabric paired well with light blue and light orange. One of the unexpected things for these specifically is that the chevron material shows through to the back side, especially with the blue. It looks neat, though it was completely unintended.


 
Finally, the fishing fabric paired well with a couple of different green camo fabrics. It was a challenge to find something that is a general "guy" fabric. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for other good fabrics I can use for things like this.

 
And for reference, a not-so-great modeling picture to show how they fit. I think this might have been the first one I made of this batch. (I may have to find a model or camera person that will make it easier to get a good picture.)
 


I hope you enjoyed these adult bibs as much as I enjoyed making them!

Blessings and Peace!
