• If you want to decorate the slip with an applique, then cut out the details from the colored rags, reinforce them with a doubler on the back. It can be, for example, a funny elephant with three colorful balls.
• In order not to complicate your work afterwards, sew the application immediately to the desired part of the overalls. Sew it first, and then carefully sew it on the machine.

Important! To prevent parts from moving during sewing, rotate the fabric with the needle down. At the end of the decor you need to steam it with an iron.

How to sew a jumpsuit for a newborn on cuffs for home?

What will be needed for sewing?

• 0.5 m of children's knitwear (if on a newborn).
• Ribana cut (or another highly extensible knitwear measuring 10x150 cm).
• Doublerin.
• Sewing supplies.
• Buttons and press for their installation.

Procedure:

• To start, print and transfer the pattern with chalk to the fabric, while taking into account the location of the shared thread (place the details along it).

Important! As a rule, the pattern is designed for size 56. If your child is larger or you sew for growth, then it needs to be increased in length and breadth. Do not forget about seam allowances. You should have two sleeves, two parts of the front and back.

• From ribans we cut cuffs for sleeves and trousers (4 pieces 8x17 cm), as well as a collar and 2 straps for buttons (31x5 cm).
• With a doubler, we strengthen the fastener strips so that they keep their shape. We attach these planks to the central edge of the front planks. Sections are preferably treated with an overlock or knitted zigzag.
• At a distance of 0.5 cm from the plank on the front side of the shelves, we lay a seam along the plank. In the lower part of the plank, we overlap one on the other and fix it with a seam.
• Now connect the back to the front. We start with the shoulder seams, then we sew in the sleeves, and then we connect the bottom of the sleeves and the side of the overalls with a single seam.
• It remains to sew the step seams. If you are not sure that you will be able to stitch the parts evenly the first time, then we sweep them first. After all the seams are laid, process the sections.
• Now we sew the cuffs. Fold the cuffs face inwards and sew them into a ring. Twist, fold in half, put a sleeve (trouser leg) inside, align the edges and lay a stitch at a distance of 0.7 cm from the edge. Cut the slices.

Important! In order for the cuff on the jumpsuit to look beautiful, it should already be sleeves. The cuff needs to be slightly stretched while sewing.

• The collar detail is folded in half and swept to the neck.Both ends of the gate that are adjacent to the bar of the fasteners need to be tapered obliquely. When you have placed everything exactly, sew on a typewriter and process the slices. On the front side of the overalls, lay the finishing line at a distance of 0.7 cm from the neck. It remains only to fix the buttons on the bar using a special press.

Important! In general, there are many patterns of overalls for newborns on the sites of needlewomen. They are all very similar to each other. There are patterns of slips that have a different arrangement of fasteners: the front bars are overlapped relative to each other, the upper has a corner on which two buttons are located.

Tips for choosing overalls for different seasons

Not always young mothers have the time and desire to to sew an overalls for a newborn with their own hands. Therefore, it is very important to know what to look for when buying such goods in stores.

Warm jumpsuit for the street:

1. Before buying, specify what exact growth this jumpsuit is designed for. Standard, for newborns you will be offered 56 p. But your child may not fit these standards. Consider that there should be a reserve, because children grow, and inside you will pry other clothes. Throw another 10 cm to the growth of your baby - this size and look for it.
2. For newborns in winter, it is most practical to buy an “envelope” on fur (if your child is not allergic to animal hair). The baby will be comfortable and you will be comfortable wearing it. For older children who are already sitting and learning to walk, of course, you need a classic jumpsuit with legs.
3. Consider a heater. If it is natural or artificial fur, then it is desirable that it be unfastened, for the convenience of washing. If the insulation is sewn inside, then it should be light, modern, keep heat well.
4. The fabric of the top must be waterproof and windproof, so that in snowy or rainy weather, the jumpsuit retains heat.
5. Inspect the seams - they should be even, without gaps and protruding threads. Also, clothes should not have extraneous chemical odors.
6. It is optimal that the jumpsuit fastens with a zipper. It is convenient and practical. Buttons can also be used for newborns, because they do not move much in the stroller, but in older children the buttons can be unfastened when moving, and cold air can enter between the adjacent buttons.
7. It is good when the jumpsuit fastens from the top to the very bottom. It is much more convenient to dress a child.
8. When choosing street winter clothes, give preference to proven European brands. You will pay more, but you won’t worry about the quality and safety of fabric, insulation, hardware strength.

Important! For regions with harsh winters, we recommend paying attention to the Scandinavian manufacturers Kerry, Reima, Lassie.

Demi-season jumpsuit:

1. For newborns, it is more practical to buy a transformer overalls (turns into an envelope), from six months - a classic.
2. It should be lightweight, waterproof.
3. For children who are already crawling, they go - a non-marking coloring with a minimum of decor and accessories, in which you can get confused, tear and pull in your mouth.
4. Well, if the insulation comes unfastened, it is very convenient for washing.
5. As for winter overalls, lightning is preferable to buttons.
6. For children who already go themselves, it is necessary to have a hood and pockets (put mittens, a nosepiece, for example).
7. Take the size with a margin of at least 10 cm.

Warm jumpsuit

Such clothes are worn under a winter jumpsuit or worn on cool days of summer, late spring or early fall. Most often, it is sewn from fleece and velor. What do we pay attention to when buying a finished product?

• Insulation (fleece, fleece, velor) should be soft, light, without extraneous odors.
• The inside of the overalls should be made of natural fabric.
• The seams should be flat, even. Coloring is calm.
• The less decor, the better, preferably embroidery, applique.The ears on the hood will look funny.
• As in previous versions, a zipper closure will be much more convenient than buttons. Better if it is along the whole body.

Important! It is especially inconvenient when the jumpsuit is worn over the head or worn from the bottom up and fastens on the shoulders.

Thin jumpsuit (slip, man):

• For everyday wear, usually 3-4 sleeps are bought. The fabric of such clothes should be as natural as possible, hypoallergenic and pleasant to the body. Usually used for sewing cotton knitwear.
• Carefully read the composition on the label, feel the fabric.
• Check the seams. They should be flat, and better outdoor.
• The color is calm.

Important! Bright colors suggest a large number of dyes, and they can cause allergies.

• A slip for newborns should be with traces and “scratches,” so that you don’t have to wear it all separately, and the fewer elastic bands on the clothes, the more comfortable the baby is. Older children can buy a slip on cuffs.
• Slips are usually fastened with buttons. It is desirable that they are located to the bottom of the legs. So it will be more convenient for you to change diapers and change your baby's clothes.

Important! When buying, inspect the quality of the buttons. For European manufacturers they serve for years, but for cheap manufacturers they can go bad right away.
