👶 Ruffle Baby Bib — PDF Sewing Pattern
Finished size 10 x 10 in (25.4 x 25.4 cm) • Fully lined • Ties at the neck • Confident beginner • 2–3 hours • A4, A0 and US Letter
Most bibs are a rectangle with a snap. This one has a gathered ruffle running all the way round the outer curve, which is the whole reason it looks like a gift and not like a wipe. Gathering a curved edge sounds fussy — it is one row of long stitches, pulled up and pinned before it ever reaches the machine, and the illustrated steps take you through it. It is fully lined, so there are no raw edges anywhere and nothing to overlock. ✨

Screen colours vary, so fabric colours may look different in person.
This listing is for the pattern only, not the finished bib.
🔒 Safety
This bib fastens with ties at the back of the neck. Never leave a baby unattended while wearing it, and never leave it on during sleep. Check the stitching before each use.
