So glad I found your tutorial! My messiest spill was when I went to shake a coconut milk, tumeric smoothie in a plastic bottle but I forgot to tighten the cap....oh, it went splashing all over me, my face, the counter, the floor, my shoes. And you know how tumeric stains. Ugh! I have made 3 bibs for my 90 yr old mother & she loves them 😊 Am working on one made out of an old bath towel. Not doubling material, so will make pockets with leftover cutting to hold the poly pellets. Will have to hand sew that bit. Will see how it goes. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!!
I make a lot of these (and now sell them), but rather than the beads I just make the over-shoulder-flaps about 17" and the weight holds them in place. I tend to use flannel for the lining and it 'sticks' to most of the poly blouses that more mature ladies wear. I started making my 'dignity bibs' for my mother when she entered a nursing home. The ones that hooked behind the neck were too difficult to use. Extra tip, roll one in a plastic baggie and carry in their purse. At the restaurant you have something to carry the soiled one home in.
As soon as I watched this video this morning, I went out and bought the supplies. Found a nice remnant just shy of a yard that I liked and made an 'apron'. I love it! I also attached a loop of elastic about midway down on one side to loop a towel through. Thank you so much for the great idea!
Great pattern, Rob! Thank you for sharing. I live in a residential village for seniors, some of whom will be able to use this bib, while keeping their dignity. Thank you.
I was looking for different options for bibs for my severely handicapped neice who just turned 16. She drools alot and needs something that can be fun yet useful. I added some fidgeting items to help her keep her hands busy and with that keeps her from biting herself so much. I used the poly beads in removable pouches on her shoulders to keep her head from drooping all the time to the sides. I did spray a sealant, like for shoes, on the back piece to keep her dry. Washed just fine without crinkly or shrinking. The poly beads make it a weighted bib and helps calm her. I have an embroidery machine so of course had to do that too on the front. Made it fit her age better. Mom loves em and super easy to wash. Just some ideas....
I made a few of these for my Aunts they always spill on their shirts when they eat they love it and use it where ever they are thank Rob love watching your videos you make it sew easy to learn
Happy I found you today....and already shared videos with my son who does Man Sewing like you! And you solved a major challenge I've had since my Veteran Husband had Covid. Thankfully he's still with me but needed some kind of body bib
I am making a few of these for my Uncle for Christmas. He recently had a stroke and I feel these will be perfect for my Aunt to put on him when she assist him during meals. I may make it from towel fabric. :) I know this is an older video but I sure do love checking out all of your videos and MSQC!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Rob, I made something quite similar which might interest you. I extended the back down about mid back, so it simply hung without the beans. I added a lower piece with wide ties to create an actual apron. It simply slips over your head and you tie the back . The apron provides wide easy coverage when cooking or BBQ-ing..
Thank you so much. My best friend's husband's has been diagnosed with brain cancer. For awhile,things looked good. unfortunately we are now at that stage of his illness that his journey is coming to an end in time. She asked me if I would make him fun,happy adult bib 's. Watching you make this style, I believe will work. I might have to extened the back atea for maybe tabs,to sew on velcro. Might also try terry cloth,or towels,with fabric. You are always fun to watch,and Thank you again.👌😊💕
I have some "family picnic" fabric that I bought a few years ago with adult bibs in mind. We have a family reunion every summer and it is the adults that seem to spill/drip food on ourselves more than the kids. This pattern looks so easy and with no fasteners it is simple to make and also to use. Of course I will have to start with a "prototype" that will be mine for in the car where most of my messes take place.
Either lining with or backing with PUL would create a liquid proof barrier, if needed. PUL is used for making cloth diapers. I love the idea of a removable pellet pouch to make washing easier.
Many months ago...i made 2 for gifts...they love them...no complains about it except my husband forgot his in the dryer...turns out it hasn t melted too much but i’m sure it shouldn t be left again I used flannelette for the front and 100% cotton for the back. Decorative stiches all around with a matching colour thread. I am doing 2 more for Christx as gifts. Thanks for this very well thought of pattern.
Washing and drying instructions would be nice to have for those that have never uses poly pallets before. Well done. You could even quilt the layers of fabric together, then bind after adding the pellets. Sew awesome.
Its my understanding they can be washed but not dried. I am planning on making one for my MIL who has hand tremors. I will make it w/o putting the pellets in the shoulders. But make bean bags that snap on/off for washing/drying. Someone else commented that with the beanbags, you could use rice for the weights. I would think if it comes off for washing you could use just about anything handy.
what a great tutorial. i think i will do it but leave shoulder end open , make a pouch of beans and then pop then in and add a snap to close it . then when time to wash remove the bean pouch and wash and dry then re-add them.
I need to make this for my husband...we eat a lot in the car when we are out and about for his appointments(he’s in a wheelchair and it’s a hassle to load/unload him, especially in the winter months)and he can be kinda messy
I’m going to make one for my daughter to wear while putting on her makeup. A few too many blobs of liquid foundation have ended up on her work clothes!
My friend asked me to make her an "apron" for eating because, just like me, she tends to ruin all of her shirts. I have been looking all over for a pattern I was satisfied would be comfortable to her because she is a much larger girl than I. I believe this will be absolutely perfect and not feel like it is choking her. Thank you for the tutorial!
Love your sense of humor and enjoy your videos. I'm making one for my husband who tends to end up with dribbles on his t-shirt while watching football games. 👍
Another great idea! That idea also turns it into a shop apron that'll protect clothing from paint, stains, etc. To give more functionality, an old belt or a cord can be worn over it to help keep it in place.
Sandra Borchers I'm thinking maybe use something other than plastic so it will withstand washing. Plastic hardens in cold water and melts in heat. What about rip-stop fabric for a backing? Here's descriptive link on Jo-Ann Fabrics website. I don't know if the pellets he uses can go in a dryer on a low temp. More research needed. www.joann.com/rip-stop-nylon/xprd560961.html
Awesome video. Your timing was perfect. I was with my mom at her Assisted Living. I got an "order". Not for Mom, but her friend. My biggest mess was Italian bake down the entire front of my light blue/white striped sweatshirt at a restaurant. Of course, it was the first big bite! I guess I wanted to be patriotic. Lol
Exactly what I am looking for! My dad is 91 and has never been a careful eater. It’s getting worse & I do his laundry! I even have some beads here already. Oh, and a yard of fabric? No sweat 😅😂
Thought about this idea many years ago but couldn’t figure comfortable way to keep bib up on a person. Ahh haha, the Beans, the Beans ! ! Driving to work, cup of fast food coffee and a pot hole bump was my inspiration then...thank you. Great video. Great presentation.
My biggest mess is always eating spaghetti. I read while I eat so sometimes I just miss my mouth. Thanks for the bib Rob. I plan to make one soon (maybe this week). This apron has many uses for others.
Great tutorial Rob!! I’m going to use Ombré Metallic dots fabric, my fave these days! Although I plan on incorporating some of the Turkish weave terry by Shannon Fabrics, too! And my messiest & smelliest food spill in the car is my feeding tube formula! If you have ever smelled either baby formula Nutrimigen or Alimentum, those are so awesome to smell compared to my formula Vivonex TEN. It is horrific, and the smell can’t be wiped off clothing! So this would be absolutely perfect for the car trips when I have to refill the pump bag! I will be adding this tutorial to my list of items that are perfect for those of us in the disability community! Well done, and thank you bunches!!
I was wondering about making it a tad longer and using it when I sew. Which I do all of the time. I joked about color coordinating my thread with my wardrobe. I always feel like I should match my thread to my wardrobe
Carolyn Kauppila And cats and dogs too...black sweater / red cat...not so good. I think your idea is great. How about corduroy on tbe front...you know how lint likes to stick to it! Then it will look artistic with squiggles of thread.
I will definitely make some of these for my mother. She tries to get the bibs off herself and ends up tearing the ties off. Plus I can make them with pretty fabric for her.
I have been requested to make bibs for my father. He currently uses a hand towel and secured it with some line and alligator clips. I love this idea but am also concerned about the wash ability with the weight of the beads as this is something that needs to be launders regularly. Please let me know how to overcome this hurdle because I love this design!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm going to make one of these for my older brother. He is mentally handicapped and he is so messy when he eats. I just need to get some of those poly beads and I'll be ready. Not sure what fabric I will use yet, need to find something manly for him.
This would be a great idea for nursing home gifts for the holidays. You are awesome Rob! Always keeping it easy to understand and fun as well. All the best to you and your family. ;-)
What an amazing tutorial Rob! This would be great for so many people with health problems! The one for me is my sweet neighbor whose hands are so arthritic and twisted she just can't tie an apron! I may just have enough time to squeeze this project in before Christmas. So many of your tutorials are very insightful toward special needs. Thank you and God Bless you!
My messiest spill was in the car. It was a cold winter day and I was all dressed up & had on a brand new down coat. I decided to stop at the pizza shop to grab a slice to take with me. When I got to the car, I realized the pizza would be cold by the time I arrived at my destination, so decided to eat it in the car. No problem, I said to myself. I'll crank up the heater full blast, & I've got my pizza box to catch any drips or crumbs. Alas, what I didn't realize is that the heater was blowing so hard, that the melted grease from the pepperoni & cheese were spraying like a horizontal rainstorm! When I looked down, it was all over my new coat! Yikes! Seriously, this is a great idea, & I've been going to make one for years; just never got to it. I have fibromyalgia and terrible back pain. Sometimes so bad, I have to prop myself up against the pillows in bed to eat, because sitting up straight or standing just hurts too much. That makes a nice area between my tray & mouth to spill on.
Just found this video and will be making a couple of these for my special needs adult child. Question: for the "beans/beads" what did you use? I would like something that is washing machine friendly
Hi love your new style apron, what kind of beans do you use, could I get something like that in England? I’ve been following some of your other videos, it helped me with learning to quilt. Last summer I made my very first quilt for the Platinum Jubilee of our Queen Elizabeth ll, at the moment I’m finishing a t-shirt quilt for my grandson. Had work.
Is it washable with the beans? I’m guessing so since they’re poly. Just wondering if it causes a problem in the washer or dryer. Awesome project. A kid sized version would be fantastic too!
Hi Rob, My husband works with adults that are autistic and challenged. Will this stand the time of washing? Thanks for all your videos, tips and tricks.
My first job was in the kitchen at a nursing home. I was on dish duty one day and trying to push the huge tray cart (that had about 30 trays of food) closer to the dish room so I could clear it. The cart got stuck on an uneven place in the floor and the whole thing came crashing down. Broken glass, liquids, food splatters, the whole nine yards. All, while my boss was sitting right next to the dish room, is his office. He nearly fired me on the spot! I think the only thing that saved me was that my mom also worked there and she begged for mercy on my behalf 😬
Making it for ME..it never fails..try to be as careful as possible and bam..down goes the food on my chest. Thank heavens for dawn to get grease stains out also. I think also that one could you us dry uncooked rice if need be.
It is my understanding the poly pellets can be washed, but not dried. But they will eventually wear thru the fabric. My MIL has hand tremors, and has been wanting a stylish bib to wear when they go out to dinner. Which they do frequently. I think I am going to make this bib w/o the pellets. And then make pellet bags and use plastic snaps to attach to the bib. That way the pellets can be removed for washing.
That's a wonderful idea. If I do this, then I can use rice for the filler. Don't have any beads, yet was thinking about making some of these for last minute Christmas presents. Thank you for sharing!
@@oldtimerlee8820 oh! I didnt even think of rice! Thats a great idea! :) dried beans would work too. you might even be able to use clean playground sand or walnut shell.
Making one for my husband who has dementia! Thank you for this video! The ones in the store don't fit a big guy and are outrageous expensive to boot!
what a great idea with the poly beans in the shoulders. A lot of older people have trouble getting their arms up
to their neck for ties.
So glad I found your tutorial! My messiest spill was when I went to shake a coconut milk, tumeric smoothie in a plastic bottle but I forgot to tighten the cap....oh, it went splashing all over me, my face, the counter, the floor, my shoes. And you know how tumeric stains. Ugh!

This is a blessing for anybody that's had a stroke and has impared movement. Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
Synnimyn Yup I’ve had a stroke aged 35 in 2013. Whole right side gone weak. xx
Live, Love & Learn Naturally sorry to hear that. I’m sure these would be helpful
@@foxxybrown291hope you have gotten better thru PT and OT
We appreciate You! Thank You!
could add a few inches to the length and make a crumb catcher pocket at the bottom
As a caregiver of elderly, mentally disabled folks who live with me, those WILL be an grand asset.
These would be great for assisted living and nursing homes,

This is a wonderful and easy pattern! I made one for a family member in assisted living. Now everyone wants one! ❤
Rob, l have made bibs, aprons for my mom & husband. I added a catch all at the bottom to catch food drops. For closure i used velcro.

@@sharonwaldie7951 PUL is a waterproof fabric that is soft and used for making baby diapers and linings for ladies' sanitary and incontinence pads.

The pellet packaging has washing instuctions on it. I believe they are washable. not sure of the drying instruction though.

Great idea. I couldn't find the poly beads today, so this will work well.
Great bib for adults in assisted living, or in need to keep clean. Great job Rob.

You can purchase The Drib on line. We have two and love them.

Fantastic video! I am making these to donate to a senior home. Thank you!
Thank you for the video! My Mom is a stroke patient and this will be easy to make up several for her:))
Hey Rob. What a clever idea!!! Think I’d like to put a clear plastic backing on it in case there’s a liquid spill. Thanks for another great video.
Another great idea! That idea also turns it into a shop apron that'll protect clothing from paint, stains, etc. To give more functionality, an old belt or a cord can be worn over it to help keep it in place.
Since it's a reversible bib, I would put the plastic inside the layers?
Sandra Borchers
I'm thinking maybe use something other than plastic so it will withstand washing. Plastic hardens in cold water and melts in heat. What about rip-stop fabric for a backing? Here's descriptive link on Jo-Ann Fabrics website. I don't know if the pellets he uses can go in a dryer on a low temp. More research needed.

I just said yesterday that I was going to make me a bib. Thanks Rob.
Rob I loved this Mr brother-in-law has MS. I wonder if the bib would stay in place. Gotta try.
Thanks for your tutorials.
Great tutorial Rob!! I’m going to use Ombré Metallic dots fabric, my fave these days! Although I plan on incorporating some of the Turkish weave terry by Shannon Fabrics, too! And my messiest & smelliest food spill in the car is my feeding tube formula! If you have ever smelled either baby formula Nutrimigen or Alimentum, those are so awesome to smell compared to my formula Vivonex TEN. It is horrific, and the smell can’t be wiped off clothing! So this would be absolutely perfect for the car trips when I have to refill the pump bag! I will be adding this tutorial to my list of items that are perfect for those of us in the disability community! Well done, and thank you bunches!!
Going to make one for son in law as a bbq/grilling apron

@@carolg.6838 Corduroy would be perfect.
These would be great for kiddos when they use paint.
Great for the car! Thanks, love your videos!
I can see using old terry bath towels for absorbing moisture.
good idea -- maybe not "old" on the outside, but used as a "batting" with some quilting
Pigs eating ice cream cones, that made me laugh, thanks Rob!
I will definitely make some of these for my mother. She tries to get the bibs off herself and ends up tearing the ties off. Plus I can make them with pretty fabric for her.

Making it for ME..it never fails..try to be as careful as possible and bam..down goes the food on my chest. Thank heavens for dawn to get grease stains out also. I think also that one could you us dry uncooked rice if need be.
Can you run it through the wash? What a great project! Thank you!
It is my understanding the poly pellets can be washed, but not dried. But they will eventually wear thru the fabric. My MIL has hand tremors, and has been wanting a stylish bib to wear when they go out to dinner. Which they do frequently. I think I am going to make this bib w/o the pellets. And then make pellet bags and use plastic snaps to attach to the bib. That way the pellets can be removed for washing.
That's a wonderful idea. If I do this, then I can use rice for the filler. Don't have any beads, yet was thinking about making some of these for last minute Christmas presents. Thank you for sharing!
@@oldtimerlee8820 oh! I didnt even think of rice! Thats a great idea! :) dried beans would work too. you might even be able to use clean playground sand or walnut shell.
I bet those glass stones you find everywhere would work too. Again, in the extra pouch
I don't think rice or beans would be a good idea. When wet they can mold or even sprout.
What is the make and model of your sewing machine, please?
I have the same question.
