Bodysuit is quite comfortable and comfortable clothing for a newborn baby. Its peculiarity is that its base passes between the child’s legs, leaving them free from stiffness and the skin breathing. Thanks to this type of fixation, the baby's back is always closed. The edges of the children's blouse never ride up, which provides additional protection from cool temperatures. This type of clothing does not hinder the child’s movement, which is a big advantage. Also, thanks to this type, you can change the diaper with ease. If you want to make a bodysuit with your own hands, then you need to pay attention to several characteristics that are quite important for making baby clothes.
Features of creating a bodysuit for a newborn yourself
The first thing to consider when making a bodysuit is the materials from which this blouse will be composed.The material should be soft and warm, not contain harmful elements, and also include a minimum amount of dyes and various decorative inserts. A natural fabric with external seams, such as chintz or chintz or flannel, works best.
Chintz is a cotton fabric that is almost invisible on a child’s skin. Flannel is characterized by softness and fluffy pleasant pile, and is a fairly warm fabric. Products made from flannel are a comfortable material that is pleasant to touch and feel. Try to work without sharp stitches and seams, as the child’s skin is quite sensitive and can be damaged at the slightest impact on it.
How to make a bodysuit pattern for a newborn
You will need bias tape to finish the edges. The main purpose of processing is to preserve the sections of the product from stretching and changing shape. Items made with trim look great even after many years of constant wear.
Before sewing a homemade bodysuit for babies according to a pattern, you must first wash the fabric by hand in cold water and dry it well. During the first wash, the fabric may stretch a little.
Reference! A baby bodysuit should be made using a regular pattern. For those who have just begun to get involved in this activity, it will probably be better not to make a pattern with your own hands on paper, but to use another method: purchase one bodysuit of the same style as the one you want to make, and create a pattern based on it.
If we talk about size, it is not recommended to make fairly small blouses (fifty to fifty-six centimeters), although it is also possible to find these types of bodysuits for a child. It is worth noting that children under twelve years of age grow quite quickly.Also, a child can be born with a height of forty-six to fifty-eight cm, so fairly small bodysuits can quickly become too small.
How to sew a bodysuit for a newborn with your own hands
In order to make a bodysuit, you need:
- Mark three detachable parts of the product on the fabric: the front part, the back part and two sleeves. After marking, cut them out with scissors.
- The cutting does not provide for allowances, so when cutting it is necessary to add them in all parts, except for the neck part in front and back, the lower part of the back of the edges of the sleeves.
- After these steps, you need to attach the binding using a standard stitch. Then fold and double stitch the edges of the binding.
- Place the resulting fabric on a smooth surface and place the back piece on it in the same way and pin them together. Attach the sleeve to the hole that appears.
- Repeat for the other side. After this, complete one part of the blouse and the sleeve. Next, you need to edge the bottom bend. Do the other part and the other side in the same way. After completing these steps, attach the fasteners in the form of buttons on the bottom of the blouse according to the marks. If you want, you can also attach buttons on the shoulder parts of the product.
If you have completed all these steps, then your product is ready. It is important to understand that you need to use natural materials when cutting a sweater. A child's skin is quite sensitive and reacts to the slightest harmful substances. Approach this process with special care. Make high-quality, soft and warm clothes for your newborn baby so that he feels warm and comfortable in them. All openings should not tighten or squeeze areas of the baby’s body too much, as this will affect his health.
As for style, you can combine drawings, combining them into one original pattern. For example, you can make the front with a beautiful bright pattern that includes different colors, and create the back with a solid bright color. Sleeves can also be combined by combining different colors. Try to make fastenings from round and smooth objects; it is better not to use decorative elements, as they can damage the baby’s delicate skin.
