Abstract
A bib-scarf system which is simple to manufacture and creates an adjustable, nonplanar bib. The system incorporates a piece of fabric, a horizontal opening in the fabric, and a horizontal strap. The fabric is cut to a predetermined rectangular size. Then a horizontal opening is created in the center of the fabric. The fabric at the top of the newly created horizontal opening is folded over and pulled through the opening. A strap is then run through the horizontal opening and fold in the top half of the fabric. This process creates an adjustable nonplanar bib which can be attached to the wearer with the strap either worn around the neck or secured to a garment which receives the strap.
Claims6
A non-planar dribble bib, the bib comprising:
- a predetermined sized body section with a neck opening and a panel of fabric under the neck opening, a strap having a first end and a second end, the strap being attached horizontally to a front of said panel of fabric of said body section by sewing at the first end of the strap and by a releasable fastener at the second end of the strap, a mating fastener on the front of said panel of fabric for releasably securing the fastener of the second end of the strap thereto,
- a handkerchief with a horizontally oriented hole in the center, said hole forming a means of attaching said handkerchief to said body section without sewing or the use of additional fasteners,
- wherein the handkerchief comprises a piece of fabric having a top portion, a bottom portion, a left side, and a right side, the handkerchief configured such that it is attached to said body section by gathering the sides of the top portion of the handkerchief fabric together from both the left side and the right side towards the middle of said fabric, so as to make the width of the top portion of said handkerchief fabric narrow enough to fit through the opening of the horizontal hole, then folding the top portion of said handkerchief backwards and down against itself, then pulling the to portion of the handkerchief through the rear of the opening of the horizontal hole, unfastening the second end of said strap which is attached to the body section by said fasteners, threading said strap from back to front through a left side of the horizontal hole, laying said strap across the top portion of said handkerchief fabric, and then feeding said strap back through a right side of the horizontal hole from front to back, and then fastening the strap by attaching the second end of the strap to the body section by connecting said releasable fastener and said mating fastener.
