need help with bibs
A friend has a special needs child that is 3 years old. I have been making bibs for the child, but the child can rip them off very quickly. I'm using Velcro as a closure. Should it be attached horizontally or vertically to make it harder to remove the bib? Or, does anyone have any other suggestions for closures? Ties are not a possibility. Thanks for any help you may offer.

I thought of that, but don't know how to get/attach the ribbed knit. Is a tutorial available on how to do that? I also thought about using a regular V-neck tshirt & making a few alterations to make it easier to get on. Would that work, maybe?

My husbands grandmother made those circular opening ones out of hand towels and they wash like iron. Only problem is if the child is messy, pulling it over their head is...well...messy, too. Unless they don't have as much hair as mine, did
What about using a longer piece of Velcro so it is "stronger"?
Or a button/toggle?
I can't think of anything else....but I'll do a google search and see if I can come up with anything. I know a challenge when I see one!

I made some for a grandchild and used snaps like one applies to western shirts. They can be put on easily and hold better than a regular snap. Don't know if this would help but it worked for me and thought I would pass it along
