Baby overalls pattern

RompersOveralls are a good solution for those who have the time and desire to sew something for a child with their own hands. This is also economically feasible: after all, fabric and accessories are cheaper than ready-made clothes. In such a thing (warm or lightweight) the child will feel good both in winter and summer. It will be convenient for him to run, jump, and explore the world. Or sleep in a stroller if he is still quite a baby.

Overalls: beauty and comfort for a child

Jumpsuits are recognized as one of the most convenient and practical items in a child's wardrobe. In both the winter and summer versions of this suit, the child is maximally protected. In winter - from the cold, in summer - from dust and dirt. The baby's movements are free, maximum comfort is ensured: nothing falls off, nothing comes unfastened if the clothes have a zipper or Velcro.

Sewing a children's overalls yourself is not difficult, you just need to show a little patience and diligence.

You can decorate such clothes in any way - with many pockets, embroidery, appliqué.

When sewing, pay attention to the following points:

  • The seams should not be rough, especially if the clothes are summer.
  • The fabric may contain a small percentage of synthetics so that it does not shrink when washed, but if we are talking about a summer jumpsuit, then this admixture should be small. A damp-resistant demi-season suit will be synthetic, but then it is better to provide a “breathable” lining.
  • It is better to choose a spacious cut so that the baby is truly comfortable.
  • Velcro is easier to sew on than a zipper, but it will be easier for an older child to accidentally undo them.

How to make a jumpsuit pattern yourself

You will need parameters. Measure the child's height, back length, arm sleeve length, neck, waist and chest circumference. These numbers can be used further. Additionally, armhole depth, shoulder length, leg length, and wrist circumference may be required.

IMPORTANT! When creating a pattern, allow seam allowances of 1.5-2 cm.

The length of the sleeves and legs will also need to be calculated with a margin of 4-5 cm for hems. At the same time, many pattern drawings are made without taking allowances into account, and you will have to make the correction yourself.

As a rule, a jumpsuit pattern consists of parts of the legs, front, back, sleeves with cuffs and a hood. In other versions, half the back and half the sleeves are one piece, similarly divided into two front pieces.

For winter overalls, lining is required, for summer overalls it is optional.

You can use a ready-made pattern.

Let's look at the diagram for constructing the design of a winter overalls with a hood from three parts. Due to the long clasp from the throat to the bottom, it will be convenient to dress the baby, the pockets will allow you to hide mittens or frozen hands on the way home.

Here the calculations are made for a height of 80–90 cm, but you need to substitute your measurements.

Pattern of summer overalls for a baby from 3 to 5 years old

Summer sets will appeal to both boys and girls. Short or long, bright and cheerful, the jumpsuit is ideal clothing for playing in the sandbox and running around in the yard.

Here's a fun and fairly simple option - short sleeves and pants with a button closure.

ATTENTION! Before cutting the material, it makes sense to pre-wash it in warm water so that the fabric shrinks. Then you will not be disappointed after sewing and the first wash. This is especially true for natural materials - linen, twill, satin, chintz.

Overalls

There is a so-called lazy way to sew a simple summer jumpsuit. It can even be cut out of old things. Since the jumpsuit will be very loose, you can cut it without first creating a pattern. A method for very brave mothers with experience.

Here you only need the “seat length” value. It is measured between the legs, the measuring tape is applied to the back of the waist and passed to the front.

Then the shorts are made. A+B – just the depth of the seat.

Cutting fabric

In this case, the top is made from an old blouse or dress, but the same piece can be cut from a regular cut. For the top you will need the length and width of the back plus an allowance of 1.5-2 cm for the seams.

Cutting overalls

The armholes of the sleeves are decorated with frills to suit your taste.Instead of a fastener, you can insert elastic bands or sew a jumpsuit so that it can be removed and put on entirely, without fasteners. The elastic at the waist helps for security.

ADVICE! When sewing long overalls, it is easy to provide for the possibility of growth. To do this, the trouser legs are made a little longer than necessary and are finished with a wide lapel. The baby gains a centimeter in height - you release a centimeter of spare tissue.

Denim overalls

Jeans are good for autumn, spring and summer. This is a natural fabric, practical, so the girl will be comfortable in it. The younger your fashionista, the thinner it is better to take the fabric.

That's very a simple jumpsuit that can be decorated with lapels made of contrasting fabric.

Pattern

Added to it is a stylish belt that can be tied into a bow.

Important: Denim should be sewn with a special thread. It is better if the sewing machine has a hardened, especially strong needle, suitable for this type of work.

You can give preference to stretch denim, as it will be comfortable to run in, ride downhill, and climb stairs. Stretch requires a special sewing mode on a machine.

Decor and finishing elements

As a child, you can afford the most naughty clothes, and the ways to decorate them are varied. You just need to follow a few rules:

  • decorations should not come off easily if the child is still small;
  • decor should not be made using synthetic smearable paint.

ApplicationEverything else is just for the good!

Embroidery should be applied to the pieces before they are sewn. But decorative patches, patch pockets, etc. – whatever suits your needs.

Thermal appliqués in the form of boats, animals, leaves and flowers look good.It is enough to simply iron them over the finished item.

IMPORTANT! Don't overdo it with decorative elements. Give preference to those that are difficult to tear, spoil, or tear off. Think about how you will wash your new clothes. Often, a patch pocket with an applique is quite a sufficient decoration.
