Super cute idea. Bibs are so expensive and bags are so cheap.

I’m inspired to make a similar one but with a pocket that snaps up and down for easy cleaning (my SILs have some but I can’t find them anywhere). Thanks for sharing this!

What a wonderful idea! I really need some wipe-off-type bibs for my seven month old baby boy. I think a few of these would make an excellent addition to his Christmas gifts.

I think this could be a good idea as long as the bags don’t have lead in them. Recent Studies have shown a hight lead content in the reusable bags made in China.

This came at a perfect time! I just repaired some of my bags that had ripped, but had one that was beyond repair and didn’t quite know what to do with it! Now I will make that into an awesome bib for my little one. Thank you for the tutorial!
