How to sew the thing for an infant?

Every mom wants her baby to be the most beautiful and somehow stood out among the other kids. Exclusive clothes or very expensive and inaccessible, or it must be sewn by yourself. Do not get upset if you do not have the skills of an experienced dressmaker. With children's clothes everything is much easier than with tailoring for adults: there are no complicated parts and seams, and the patterns are much more convenient, due to the small size. How to sew the thing for an infant and at the same time correctly, because sometimes there is not enough quality advice in this matter! In magazines for moms, you can find some tips on sewing and patterning children's clothing, but not in such quantities as to put the baby in homemade things.

Here's a tip on how to design your pattern. Take the old clothes of the baby, which he became small, divide it, divide it into fragments, translate the contours of the details onto paper, adding to these contours 3-4 centimeters, and the new pattern is ready very quickly and simply. From the old thing, use zippers, buttons, embroideries, appliques. You can collect such patterns and use them for a very long time, each time adding on the edges of several centimeters.

Using your imagination and a little patience, you can create things for the child from your clothes. Each woman in the wardrobe will find things that were dressed 1-2 times, and then steel or small, or dislike. In this case, you will spend only on the hardware and thread. Do not make "boring" clothes, you can rip out your old things on fabric and sew from different pieces of material. Only everything should be in moderation and taste. Do not use fabrics of dark or gloomy colors.

The simplest thing you can sew yourself is a children's envelope. For this we will need: a 100x100cm cotton cloth (the fabric should be very pleasant to the touch and soft, so that the baby feels comfortable in such an envelope); beautiful cloth, for the front side of the envelope 100x100 cm; you can take another lace or ruches in length 225h230 cm; sintepon or any analogue (better natural) with a size of 100x200 cm and a small Velcro to 8x10 cm. Two squares of 100x100 cm should be folded with faces and stitched: one side with a solid line and grab two others approximately 15 cm by 20 cm. Turn out the resulting workpiece on the face and iron the seams. In the available part, insert the sintepon, folded in half, if we take a piece of 200 cm, then a little bit by hand. In the remaining not stitched seams insert lace, baste, and complete all with a machine stitch. Try to wrap the baby in an envelope, mark the area where the velcro should be and finally sew it. Instead of Velcro you can use a beautiful original button in the form of a butterfly or a flower. You can decorate such an envelope with applique and hand embroidery.

It is very simple to sew, for example, a small bib. It is better if it is made of three or more layers of natural fabric, so as not to get wet. The pattern is simple, it can be constructed by yourself, the main thing is that the bib is not narrow in the neck. Therefore, we need only to measure the circumference of the neck of the baby. The shape of the bib can be round, square with round edges, or in the form of a strawberry, a butterfly, a bear's face, a kitten. Fantasize a little, it's a very enjoyable creative process. Fold the pieces of material in the wrong side and stitch them, turn the workpiece to the front side and edge the resulting part. If the product is on the zavyazochkah, edging can be extended, getting out of her ties. This is not very convenient to use, because they can be untied, tightened on a knot and it can be difficult to tie. You can make a buckle clasp with velcro, button or buttons.

A few general tips for those who are going to sew children's clothes: sliders, pajamas or panties. All these things are also simple to perform.

So, if we sew pajamas, then keep in mind that in the first months of life the kid always lies on his back, the ryazhonki should be wrapped on his back. Sweatshirts on buttons and buttons will be needed when the child starts to sit or turn in the crib. Do not sew a lot of raspashonok and blouses of the same size, as the kids grow very fast. Better each time, increase the pattern by 0, 5 cm. And do not forget: it is absolutely necessary for babies to sew the tights and blouses with seams on the front side, so that they do not rub the delicate skin of the baby and do not prevent him from sleeping.

With regard to the manufacture of panties, first of all you need to take into account the property of the material (with a non-stretchable cotton fabric, make a sufficiently free area of ​​the knees and hips so that the baby can freely crawl and turn over in them, knitted fabric allows a more fitting version). The easiest way is to sew panties from two halves: the back and front. For the pattern, you need to determine the length of the panties and the circumference of the belt (it should not be too narrow, tighten the tummy and create discomfort).

In order to make a pattern of sliders, you can simply combine the existing patterns of panties and ryazhonki, slightly finalizing the final version. The lower part of the pattern of the loin must coincide with the upper part of the pattern of the panties. Here again it is necessary to take into account the properties of the material: if we take a knitted fabric - we make an all-rooted pattern and more fitting; if it's a cotton or cotton fabric - the front part of the sliders should be made wider, and insert the crotch between the slider parts. And one more tip, if the sliders on the usual zavjazochkah, flowing from the edging of their upper edge, it means that at the top of the sliders the allowances for seams should be as large as possible, this is the weakest point of our product because of the heavy load on the upper part, due to constant tying.

As you can see, sewing for little ones is not so difficult, and you can design patterns yourself. Pluses weight. Firstly, for your baby's clothes, you can choose natural fabrics (buying ready-made items, this is difficult, because one piece of clothing can be made of natural fabric and the other - synthetic). Secondly, you save money very much, making clothes from your things, and also freeing up space in the wardrobe, occupied with unnecessary things. Finally, both the parents and the baby will experience immense pleasure from the thing in which the warmth and care of my mother's hands is invested.
