Griff’s meals have been growing increasingly messy, and his current bibs are proving to be too small to contain the smears and spills. I ordered a yard of some cute apple oilcloth from an Etsy seller to use for the floor under his high chair, and a half yard in another colorway to experiment with. (This is the new vinyl laminated cotton oilcloth, not the old-school linseed oilcloth.)

The oilcloth is pretty easy to sew with. I used a free pattern I found online, and some commercial bias tape I had lying around to finish off the edge, since I don’t have a serger. The top pocket edge is just zigzagged for stability.

Here’s Griff modeling his new bib!

And the bib in action. It seemed to work quite well, and the pocket caught a bunch of junk.

After his dinner, Griff decided to kick back and have some feet for dessert.

Don’t judge me!
