This bib is suitable for Table Cloth fabric, flannelette, or any fabric that drapes well, is absorbent and launders well. This is the easiest and most versatile of all the bibs. It can be used by anyone who needs to remain clean, whether at work, in the car, or eating just before they are about to go our the door.
It's style changes dramatically with the fabric choice. A brocade tablecloth fabric creates an elegant look for work. The red checkered tablecloth fabric is bright and cheerful for spaghetti or lobster parties. A Happy Face flannelette is fun for a kids party or a plaid flannelette is calm and masculine.

Sewing Instructions:
How to make a bib for adults.
Step #1
The one shown is a rectangle 24 inches by 30 inches. The size can be adjusted to fit anyone from a child to a large adult using a piece of scrap fabric and a little experimentation
Step #2
Make a turned hem 1/4 inch deep
Step #3
Either use velcro in the corner or a button and loop depending on what is more comforable for the person using it.
Tip #1 - Washing
When using Velcro, close before laundering.
This will minimize damage to other clothing in the laundry load.
I will prevent bibs from snarling up if you are washing several at a time.
Tip #2 - Traveling
Bring an attractive bib along for long airline flights where eating will be required.
Tip #3 - Traveling
Everyone can use a bib on long car trips to save yourself from spills.
Tip #4 - Cosmetics
Keep a bib in the bathroom to slip on before applying make-up.
