Getting Started
On the highchair, on the floor—baby food ends up everywhere except in Baby’s mouth. That’s where bibs come in. These adorable bibs are easy to make from oilcloth, a classic material for tablecloths, and the perfect solution for messy little eaters. This material wipes clean easily, saving Mom and Dad valuable time.

Vinyl Variation
If you can’t find oilcloth, you can use vinyl or a vinyl tablecloth backed with a hand towel. It’s machine washable, and you can even machine dry it on low heat.
