Pattern of children's overalls

Jumpsuit is a good solution for those who have time and desire to sew something for their child with their own hands. This is 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 in summer. It will be convenient for him to run, jump, explore the world. Or sleep in a stroller, if he is still completely crumb.

Overalls: beauty and comfort for the child

One of the most convenient and practical things in a children's wardrobe is recognized as overalls. In both winter and summer versions of this costume, the child is protected as much as possible. In winter - from the cold, in the summer - from dust and dirt. The baby’s movements are free, maximum comfort is ensured: nothing falls off, doesn’t unfasten if the clothes are with zipper or Velcro.

Sewing a jumpsuit on your own is easy, you just need to show a little patience and zeal.

You can make out such clothes in any way - a lot of pockets, embroidery, applique.

When sewing, pay attention to the following points:

  • The seams should not be coarse, especially if the clothes are summer.
  • The fabric may contain a small percentage of synthetics so that it does not sit down during washing, but if we are talking about a summer jumpsuit, then this admixture should be small. A damp-proof suit that is resistant to damp will be synthetic, but then it is better to provide a “breathing” lining.
  • It is better to choose a spacious cut so that the baby is really comfortable.
  • Velcro is easier to sew than a zipper, but it will be easier for an older child to accidentally unfasten them.

Overalls made of raincoat, waterproof fabric will solve the problem of autumn dampness. Summer jumpsuit made of natural fabrics will be aired, it is easily removable after hectic games. Denim top and pants are the most practical option for walking.

How to make a pattern of overalls yourself

It will take parameters. Measure your child’s height, back length, sleeve lengths on the arm, neck, waist and chest circumference. These numbers can be operated on. Additionally, the depth of the armhole, the length of the shoulder, legs, and the girth of the wrist may be required.

IMPORTANT! When building a pattern, make allowances for seams - 1.5-2 cm.

The length of the sleeves and legs should also be calculated with a margin of 4-5 cm per hem. At the same time, very many drawings of patterns are just made without allowances, and you have to make the correction yourself.

As a rule, the overalls pattern consists of details of legs, front, back, sleeves with cuffs and a hood. In other embodiments, half of the back and half sleeves are one part, similarly divided into two parts of the front.

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

You can use the finished pattern.

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

There is a so-called lazy way to sew the simplest summer jumpsuit. It can be found even from old things. Since the jumpsuit will be very free, you can tailor it without first constructing a pattern. A method for very brave mothers with experience.

Here, only the “seat length" value is needed. It is measured between the legs, a centimeter tape is applied from the back to the waist and passed to the front.

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

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

Armholes are decorated with frills to taste. Instead of a fastener, you can insert elastic bands or sew a jumpsuit so that it can be removed and worn entirely, without fasteners. For reliability, elastic at the waist helps.

TIP! When sewing a long jumpsuit, it is easy to foresee the possibility of growth. To do this, the legs are made a little longer than necessary, and are processed with a wide lapel. The baby adds a centimeter in growth - you release a centimeter of spare tissue.
