your piece will look like this…..
then i take the remaining shirt..
take the top piece of the bib i just cut and laid it on the back and cut out another piece…
then put rights sides together and sew around (make sure to leave an opening so you can turn it right side out!)
(the opening is at the bottom…) turn it rights sides out and sew around (closing the opening this time)
and then add some velcro
i made one from two shirts…. so each side is different…
and i did one with a collar.. I left the collar attached (but cut the back of the collar off)…
I sewed the collar flaps to the bib…
then I did one keeping the ribbing (a pullover!) (this is for those heavy duty dinners..like spaghetti…)
then trim down the front….
and leave a few inches on the back….
I also did these interchangeable bibs that you just take off the strap and throw in the washer…
and if you are out at the restaraunt you can just put a paper towel on the strap and throw it away!

Thank your for coining a new word “craptastic”! Sincerely, your pictures are in focus, on point to your content, and understandable by me your blog reader. That is all that really matters. It is good to poke a little humor at ourselves sometime. The pictures show how much your photography skills have developed. Your bib idea is a triple hitter winner – so personal and heartwarming for the recipient, the tee-shirt “source”, and the maker!
