Steps

Prepare the Towel
Wash and dry the old towel to ensure it is clean. Lay the towel flat and use a ruler to measure the size of the bib you want to create.
Create the Bib Template
On a piece of cardboard, draw the shape of the bib you want. A common shape is a rectangle with a semicircle cut out for the neck. Cut out the template using scissors.
Cut the Bib Shape from the Towel
Place the template on the towel and trace around it with fabric chalk. Cut out the shape using fabric scissors.
Sew the Edges
Fold the edges of the towel bib about 1/4 inch inward and pin them down. Use a sewing machine or hand stitch to sew along the edges to prevent fraying.
Attach Closure
Sew on a piece of Velcro, snap fasteners, or a button and loop to the back of the bib's neck to create a secure closure.
Add Finishing Touches
Optional: Add any desired embellishments, ensuring they are safe for baby use.
