I have a big stack of old clothes that are waiting to be turned into something fun. First project- drool bibs for M.
1. I started with this T-shirt...
...and some old pj pants of my son's.
2. Using a bib I already own, I traced a bib outline onto the T-shirt in disappearing ink. I made it a bit longer to use more of the T-shirt design...
3. Cut out bib...
4. I cut out the neck and arm holes to use as edging...
5. Using a large basting stitch, I sewed the edging onto the right side of the bib with the finished edge facing in...
6. I placed bib right side down onto backing fabric, pinned and cut out backing...
7. Next I sewed the front to the backing leaving a small opening to turn bib right side out.

After turning out, I sewed the opening close with a slip stitch.
9. I sewed small metal snaps on the ends. You could use Velcro dots too...
10. And here's the finished bib! Front... 
...and back.
M is on the verge of cutting teeth, so there's lots of drooling to come...
