I've drawn up a free pattern of the bib I've loved best for my own kids. It's the same pattern I drew on cardstock back in 2008 ~ and have used ever since. Of course, I love my ruffle bib, too (see the tutorial here.) But that's more of a drool-catcher. It's delicate and kinda girly. This is my classic pretty little Baby Bib Pattern: good for a boy or girl, easy snap finish, and the thicker neck shawl provides more coverage at mealtime. It's great looking and practical.
These are some patchwork bibs I made last year...

Now, download the two-page PDF pattern for my pretty little Baby Bib Pattern here. It includes the full-size bib template along with instructions on how to DIY. Easy peasy! It looks like this:
