Directions:
Step 1
Choose and sort about 10 to 15 pieces of scraps in different colors and prints making sure they coordinate with each other, then print out the pattern piece, and cut it out. Lay the batting on the surface, then place the baking piece with its right side facing up and the wrong side facing down the batting, then flip them over, place the pattern on top of the batting, and trace the shape out.

Step 2
Cut one piece of fabric scrap to about 2×3 inches, then place it anywhere on the batting, and sew it with sewing lines that are ¼-inch apart. Repeat this step until the traced bib shape is covered and sewn with fabric scraps, make sure to make your sewing line neat and clean as it will show on the back of the bib. Next, place the bib pattern on top of the quilted piece, then trace the shape out, and trim precisely. Sew and bind the fabric pieces together using the bias strips, then sew a piece of Velcro on each side of the top of the bib, and you’re done!
