Anyway my son is 15 months old now and those bibs we've had since he was born don't cover enough area on his chest. And since I keep most of my scrap fabric I decided to make some large bibs with it. I managed to keep my wiggle worm sitting still long enough to measure across his chest and from his shoulders to his belly button. Now every child is a different size so please don't expect my measurements to work for your child.
After I measured J I figured his measurements were about the size of a sheet of printer paper. I used 2 sheets to make my pattern but looking back I wish I had made it wider. I traced my pattern onto my fabric and cut it out. I also cut interfacing to be placed from the neckline to the bottom of the bib (not shown in picture below). I didn't add interfacing to the entire bib because I wanted flexibility with the neck straps.
It was a quick 1/4 inch inseam around the bib and make sure you leave a couple inch gap so you can flip it right side out. Then I did a simple 1/4 inch top stitch to close it up. I decided not to do Velcro but simple snaps as a fastener. I thought it would look nicer than trying to cut out Velcro to fit properly. Also my little genius rips the Velcro bibs right off and by then you better be looking for your "Shout" to get those food stains out.
