Correctly determine the model of the envelope

An envelope is essentially the baby’s first clothing. In it, the baby is taken from the hospital, taken out for walks. Thanks to patterns and step-by-step master classes, a summer or winter blanket-envelope will turn out even for that woman who had not been engaged in sewing before. The main thing is desire and creative inspiration.

General rules

To properly make an envelope-blanket for discharge with your own hands, you need to learn the basic requirements that are put forward to the product:

• Naturalness. Materials should only be natural and hypoallergenic.
• Comfort The fabric should be pleasant to the touch. In addition, the fabric should retain heat well and not emit toxic substances.
• Seasonality It is necessary to select material, depending on the season and destination. For summer models, dense fabric is enough, for example, embroidered or embossed cambric. For winter models, velor, fleece and multilayer insulation are required.
• Convenience. The product must fit the size of the baby. In the envelope, the child should feel comfortable, but not cramped. The seams on the product must be carefully processed.
• Security. Decorative decorations - ribbons, ribbons, fringe, should not create discomfort for the child.
• Functionality and beauty. If the envelope is intended for discharge, then you need to decorate it so that the first clothes are elegant and festive. If you plan on walking in the fresh air with this blanket, it makes sense on the back side to provide a pocket for the mattress.

Important! When preparing for the upcoming event in your life, do not miss important points. Find out more and at the same time check whether you have forgotten anything from our articles:

• When to collect the bag in the hospital?
• What things does a newborn need?

Advice:

• The envelope for the child is intended from birth to 9-12 months, so you will need not one envelope, but at least 3: for discharge, summer and winter versions. In summer and spring, you can use one envelope or corner.

Important! You can save some money and sew temporary decorations to the elegant envelope for discharge, which can then be easily torn off. In this case, your model will look appropriate both on the extract and on weekdays.

• Since there are a lot of envelope models (universal, bags with and without sleeves, with a hard back), you should choose the model that matches the purpose chosen for it.

Important! We recommend choosing a transformer model as the most convenient of all available, since when visiting, for example, a polyclinic, an envelope can be easily turned into a blanket or a mattress, and then vice versa.

• If you have the makings of a seamstress, then you can make a pattern for the envelope yourself or download the diagram on the Internet, now you can find many MKC photos and videos there. But if you've never sewed before, then choose a simpler model option.

Important! As a rule, a blanket for discharge is made in the form of a square. The size of the finished product in length is usually 75-100 cm, and in width 85-100 cm (unfolded) and 45-50 cm (folded).
