Any mother wants her child to be dressed in beautiful, comfortable and, of course, high-quality clothes. In addition, children grow up very quickly and clothes are quite expensive. You can fill the children's wardrobe with your own hand-sewn things. Moreover, sewing for children is not difficult, and this does not require a lot of time. Since children's clothing requires a lot less fabric than adult clothing, and the cost of fabric is low, you can save a lot.
Instructions
Step 1
Most of the children's clothing items are very simple in design, have simple cut lines and are easy to sew. Children's things are the most rewarding field of activity for beginners. The first and basic rule is that children's clothing must be safe. It is not necessary to sew on many strings, they should not be too long and it is better not to make them on the line of the neckline. Avoid using a lot of fabric to get tangled in. This applies to long skirts and wide sleeves. Sew on buttons and trimmings securely so that they cannot be torn off and swallowed by the child.
Step 2
Sometimes a child refuses to put on a particular piece of clothing. Children's clothing items should be bright, special, but at the same time familiar. If your child is already big enough, invite him to choose the fabric or model of the future outfit himself. Choose the colors of the fabric and buttons together - this will be useful for a baby who is just learning to determine the colors or shape of an object.
Step 3
On children's things, you should not make complex and tight fasteners, sew on many small buttons. Pay attention to the Velcro. This is the best clasp for your little one. In addition, it is easy for children to open and close zippers with large teeth and a large "tongue". If you are going to sew trousers, shorts or a skirt, make an elastic tape at the waist.
Step 4
It's no secret that children grow out of their clothes very quickly; this can be avoided with the help of several tricks. For example, sew cuffs on the bottom of the trousers and on the sleeves. As the child grows older, you simply turn the cuffs to the desired length without much effort. If the trousers are short, they can be converted into shorts by cutting them to the required length. Choose ruffled, pleated or straight sewing patterns that fit multiple sizes. Sew from jersey - this is the best material for actively growing children.
Step 5
The basis of the pattern is easy to make. It is enough to open the old thing and transfer the pattern to the paper. Using this base, you can sew a variety of models, adding interesting details and trim elements: collars, sleeves, pockets, and so on.
