Cutting and preparation of materials

The choice of fabric depends entirely on the decision of the mother and child, if the baby already understands everything, then he can choose his favorite color and print himself. When choosing fabric, you need to consider the following rules:

• the main material should be about 100 cm in size, the lining should be sewn from quilted fabric of the same size. Decorative material will be needed as decoration. This should not be difficult, because many people have old pieces of fabric at home;
• You will also need an elastic band about 35 cm long, a cord of 70 cm, and a 20 cm zipper or fastener;

• a ready-made pattern can be found on the Internet. It needs to be printed on a printer in 1:1 size, cut out, and then the canvas should be drawn according to the paper sketch. When cutting the material, allowances of 2 cm are required.

Main part

Children's winter overalls are made according to the basic pattern. You need to cut out the details for the outer jacket. Sew the side seams of these elements from the main fabric. Iron the allowances. Pin the straps and frames, folding them with the outer sides inward along the bottom edge.

Smooth out the allowances and cut at the rounding points. Turn the product inside out. Sew the upper side of the product along the upper edge and iron. Run a single stitch along the lower edge.

Hood

The pattern of a children's jumpsuit with a hood is no different from a regular one without it. Since it is a separate part of the product.

The hood can be made either at the beginning or at the end of the work; it is not sewn onto the suit.

You need to prepare the pieces of fabric for the hood. This article suggests sewing the lightest hood. You can decorate it with real fur along the edge.

Sew the main elements. The central section should be with a margin, after work it is cut off. Stitch the seams in any direction in one direction. Iron the product.

Trousers

Turn the darts over onto the second leg and sew them on. Connect the lining elements with the main material pieces along all the cuts, leaving a 1 cm gap.
To avoid compaction in the leg area, the darts on the insulation elements must be cut along the contour.

Now you need to stitch the side seams from the outside and make double finishing seams.

Next, the lining is made. You need to lay out the selected material on the table or floor along the edge with the outer sides inward. Lay out the elements of the trousers on the canvas, trace with soap and cut. Now you have elements for the lining without side seams and darts, this will reduce the compaction in the trousers. Add 1 cm to the bottom of the lining material (for allowances and freedom of fit).

Attaching a waistband to trousers

Sew the belt onto the pants, pulling the elastic a little. It can be made of a contrasting color, but not too bright. So as not to spoil the child's eyes.

Connecting the bodice to the trousers

Fold the side seams, the center back with the center seam of the pants, sew the bodice with the pants using hand stitching.

Opening the cuffs

Cut out two rectangles from the main material: length = trouser leg circumference at the bottom + 1 cm (for allowances), width = about 10 cm (with allowances). Cut out the same rectangles from the decorative fabric and synthetic fluff, but a few cm smaller.

Processing the bottom of trousers with cuffs

Fold the lining hem with the bottom of the pants, matching the single seams on the lining material and the overalls. Next, insert the elastic along the hem of the cuffs.
Connect the lining and pants along the top edge. Turn the pants inside out, through the hole near the fastener.
Sew the lining along the center seam to the fastener, folding the edges inward.

From the front side, secure the lining with a finishing stitch along the fastener, bending the upper ends of the ribbon inward. Trim off excess threads.

Connecting the cuffs to the lining

Lay out the legs of the main element of the overalls and the lining material, as well as the cuff on the table or floor. Find the level of sewing the cuff to the lining. From the marked point, make a 1 cm allowance downwards. Cut the leg along the allowance line and align the bottom of the lining material.
Sew the cuff so that its cut is on the inside, between the elements of the trouser leg.

Once the work is finished, you can decorate the product. Here you need to include all your imagination. Many mothers add fringe along the bottom of the pants. For girls, beads or sequins are often sewn on. For knitwear, satin or lace ribbon is sometimes used. You can embroider some kind of picture on the shelves, for example, with fairy tale characters.

It is also important to remember that winter overalls should be washed with care so as not to damage the filler or lining. Usually, synthetic padding is used as a filler, and at high machine speeds it turns into pieces of cotton wool and is not evenly distributed inside. Therefore, in order not to spoil the item, it is recommended to follow the instructions for proper care. Winter models are recommended to be dried in a straightened position on some surface. Otherwise, the clothes may become very deformed under the weight of water. Summer items made of cotton can be washed at any temperature.

Any mother can handle a pattern of a summer jumpsuit for a girl or a boy. You don't need any special skills or talent for this. It is important to take the child's measurements correctly. But even those who can't draw can find patterns of jumpsuits on various handicraft sites. For example, some of them are Burda or Postila. There are many master classes for both beginners and professionals. The jumpsuit can be sewn from jersey or knitted with wool yarn.
