This is a cute pattern. I think it would be more practical if you're able to sew some kind of backing onto the bib and a liner into the bottle cozies. If you'd prefer a PDF of the pattern to print, you can get it at the coats and clark web site; just search for Baby Bottle Cozy and Bib (just in case the link below doesn't work). Here is the link to the PDF: http://www.coatsandclark.com/NR/rdonlyres/A44573C7-2EEC-4904-8673-E0263EFFA7CD/131421/WR1949.pdf. I hope this helps folks having trouble printing patterns! :)
