How to Make a Baby Bib and Swaddle Blanket (Free Pattern & Video Sewing Tutorial)

How to Make a Baby Bib and Swaddle Blanket (Free Pattern & Video Sewing Tutorial)

If you’ve joined us for our previous seasons of Sew Together Tuesday, you know we’re a big fan of AccuQuilt and their easy-to-use fabric dies and cutters!

So this week, to kick off Season 5 in style, we’ve partnered with our friends at AccuQuilt once again  — this time pairing their baby bib die and our Embrace® double gauze fabrics and waffle cloth. And, we've also partnered with our friends at Oliso to make a super cute coordinating swaddle blanket (shhh... there might be a giveaway or two, too)!

These baby bibs and swaddles can be completed in less than an hour from start to finish, and they are always handy to have laying around the house (they make great baby shower gifts, too).

Scroll down to learn more and watch our National Educator Teresa Coates’ tips and tricks for making this super cute set (on-demand video will be available after the live tutorial at 10 am April 6).

Happy sewing!
