Bob: FreeSewing's Bob the Bib
Designer Notes
The only reason I designed this pattern is because I wanted something very simple to use in our pattern design tutorial.
In fact, I considered this design too simple to include on FreeSewing.org and for many years it was not available. But then users started asking why it was not available, and I didn’t really have a good answer for that.
So here it is. A fully parametric bib named Bob.

What You Need
To make Bob, you will need the following:
- Basic sewing supplies
- A little bit of suitable fabric (see Fabric options)
- Enough bias tape to go around the entire bib
- A snap or other type of fastener
Fabric Options
An bib should be soft, absorbent, and be able to handle plenty of washing cycles. In addition, natural fibres are much preferred, especially for babies.
So use cotton, flannel, or jersey knit for the bib front of the bib, and back it with something like terrycloth (aka towel fabric) or a similar bamboo-based fabric.
Cutting Instructions
- Cut 1 bib
There is no seam allowance on the bib, it will be finished with bias tape
