The cheap ones in the stores are such a waste of money and fabric. Even at thrift stores they are not cheap. A towel will certainly be nicer and be more value for the money. I also make bibs for my slightly older kids with hand towels and ribbing. They can't get them off and they are so much more absorbent. Good to know the size and woolly nylon tips - thanks so much for sharing!!
