My dear Woman - This post is way too long, and involves way too much work.
Here is how to make a Great Baby Bib with very little work!
Find a pair of hubby's old jeans and rip out one leg. Cut a large piece from the back of the leg where there is little wear. Cut a piece the width and length you need for the Bib. Fold and stitch 1/4 inch all the way around, then fold 2 inches of the bottom and sew edges in to make the trough. Cut and stitch some lighter material for the straps and presto you have a long lasting neat Baby Bib!
