There's been some good discussions ont this subject in previous threads. Try the search function above.
A few things I remember
* for dignity, do not call them "bibs" ... forget what the PC word is!
* check with the facility before making as to what fabrics have worked best in the past from the usage perspective; also that are acceptable for their laundering process
* "coated", rubberized, plastics, etc. while good in a home setting, usually will not withstand the heat of the washing/drying standards in institutional laundry requirements.
It's a wonderful thought and I hope you will make them. Just be sure to check it all out before you get to work, so you can avoid disappointments that may happen if you don't.
