The MIMO is a one size fits all reversible bib pattern.
With its timeless design, this pattern is an essential piece that you can make over and over again.
The tutorial below will show you how to make a seamless bib in two different styles. The small bib can be done as a standard bib or a scallop bib and the medium and large are standard bibs for big kids.
All four bibs have the same neckline and fit most children from newborn to 6 years.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
From lightweight to heavy-weight linen, lyocell, silk noil, soft cotton shirting, cotton cheesecloth, cotton voile, hemp, flannelette, corduroy, velvet, denim, any soft, natural woven fabrics with a good drape. Avoid fabrics that are too thick and too stiff if you are making the scallop version.
If your fabric is lightweight and thin, I recommend using interfacing or wadding. You can also add a layer of waterproof fabric inside to prevent the bib from being soiled on both sides.
This pattern is perfect for any embroidery design you may have in mind !
If you are not sure which fabric to use, look up the hashtag #mimomimito on Instagram for inspiration.
FABRIC USAGE
Less than half a meter is all you need for this pattern depending on your choice of inner lining. This project is great to use any remnant pieces of fabrics you may have in your stash.
Please note: Make sure your fabric is washed before cutting.
