This is the perfect bib for the toddler or baby in your life. The bib has a crumb catching pocket and is fully reversible. Beautiful patchwork disguises stains and a snap closure prevents inopportune bib removal.

If you've got a sewing machine, you can put this together in an hour or two. It's the perfect gift for a wee one and oh sew useful ;)

This is being entered in the Etsy/Instructables Sew Useful contest. You can purchase this bib here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6331467 at Etsy.

Enjoy!
