Baby bibs
#1
The baby bib patterns I have seen all have binding around them. Is there a reason for this?
I had intended to sew around both layers, leaving a gap to turn them through then stitch a quarter inch inside edge - no binding.
I was using keyhole shape with velcro closure and terry towelling fabric.
I haven't made any baby stuff before so thought I would check with those wiser than I before I start cutting. :)

The binding also can give them just alittle more color especially a contrast or focus color. Often the the binding is also just extended and used as the ties, although I prefer velcro or snaps on a bib.

I make bibs all the time and I turn like you said. After I turn, I reinforce my edges with a zig zag or just regular stitch. They hold up very well. I do not like putting the binding on. I never seem to be able to do a good job.

Thanks for the input everyone.
I am just wanting to whip up a few quick things so would be pleased to not have to bother with the binding.
I will certainly look at using either zig-zag or decorative stitching instead of straight stitching around the edge to both reinforce and to add a bit of colour/contrast.
Thanks again.
