Adult Bibs Question Please
Hi, I would like to make some adult bibs for a convent and a few of the patterns I came across say to use two cotton pieces, one for the top and one for the bottom. It doesn't seem enough and was wondering what you thought. I could use fusible fleece but that seemed a little thick and I would have to quilt them. I could do the two pieces of cotton if it seemed okay.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I used a pattern from Rob Appell Man Sewing and they are two layers of cotton. They have tiny plastic pellets in the shoulder flaps but pattern could be amended to make them pullover or tied or whatever the needs are. He calls them adult clothing protectors.

This is what I use too. I made many for adults and kids. The pellets are washable and dryable. I used one pretty print and muslin for backing. They are great for the car. I make an extra long one for me. I'm always spilling something in the car on myself. I have used the thin vinyl felt backed tablecloths too as thin batting or for backing to make it leak proof . I bought a big bag of the pellets at Walmart. Walmart has big summer vinyl thin felt back tablecloths for $3 now. I buy several as I use them for a lot of sewing projects.
