How to sew overalls from old jeans for a baby

Once all the parts have been prepared, you can begin installing the product.

On the front halves, the reliefs and stitching seams of the lower parts should be processed (that is, stitched, overcast, secured with a finishing stitch and ironed).

Then the front halves need to be sewn together.

If desired, you can sew a felt applique onto the overalls, and also sew on a small chest pocket for a handkerchief.

The reliefs on the rear halves need to be processed.

Then the back halves are also sewn together.

On facings, it is necessary to glue the sections of the top and armholes (so that they do not stretch out during processing and subsequent use), overcast the central and side sections, sew down the central and side seams, iron them, overcast the bottom edge of the facing.

The details of the straps should be duplicated, hemmed, turned inside out and ironed.

The prepared front and back parts of the overalls must be sewn along the side and step sections, overcast the allowances, and ironed onto the back.

The facing of the top edge of the overalls must be pinned to the overalls, placing the straps on the back between them.

Then you should stitch along the top edge of the overalls. The seam allowances on the curves must be cut, not reaching the line, and the pins must be removed.

The facing must be turned right side out and swept out using hand stitches.

You need to machine stitch along the top edge of the overalls. After this, the marking threads should be removed.

To ensure that the facing does not turn out during use of the product, it must be sewn from the inside out with hidden stitches to the side seam allowances of the overalls.

The bottom of the trouser legs should be hemmed with a closed hem seam (folded twice and stitched).

You need to sew over the loops on the chest and sew buttons on the straps.

The finished product must be ironed.

Master class on sewing overalls

So, let's learn how to sew a beautiful women's jumpsuit. At the very beginning, we had already decided on the style, color, and in our imagination we had already tried on a new, spectacular outfit. All that remains is to bring this idea to life.

When you have prepared all the necessary materials and tools for sewing, the first task is to make a pattern.

How to make a women's jumpsuit pattern

Before creating a pattern, you will need to take some measurements:

• Half neck circumference.
• Half bust.
• Half waist.
• Half hip circumference.
• Half-girth above the chest.
• Chest height.
• Armhole lip.
• Front length to waist.
• Back length to waist.
• Shoulder length.
• The length of the sleeve.
• Back width.
• Length trousers.

It is convenient to create a pattern on special paper, which is marked with a small square (tracing paper), but if this is not available, regular paper will do. Use a ruler and pencil to draw contour lines.

IMPORTANT!

80% of the final result depends on how carefully you build the pattern.

If you are an experienced craftsman, then you can choose a complex model consisting of a bodice and trousers. A beginner in sewing should pay attention to a simpler model, and only then gradually move on to a complex cut.

Cutting fabric for overalls

Stages of cutting work:

• To cut, you need to lay the fabric wrong side up on a flat surface; the material must first be well ironed.
• The pattern must be applied along the warp thread; if there are parts given in half, then they are applied on the fold of the fabric, resulting in a single piece.
• The paper pattern is applied to the fabric and secured with pins, and the outline is outlined with soap or chalk.
• The parts are traced exactly along the contour, the thickness of the lines should not be more than 2 mm.
• Once all the details have been applied to the fabric, you can add the required amount of seam allowance.
• Check the accuracy and presence of all the details, the direction of the pattern, the front and back sides, and you can start cutting out the elements.

IMPORTANT!

If the fabric of the future overalls has a pattern or embossing, then the pattern should always be laid out in one direction.

Step-by-step sewing instructions

• Sweep out the details of the future jumpsuit and iron it well, then proceed to the first fitting. Already at this stage it will be clear what the final result will look like.
• If necessary, make adjustments to fit the product to your figure.
• If possible, the edges of the fabric need to be processed with a special machine - an overlocker; when one is not available, this can be done manually.
• When everything is ready, you can finally sew the overalls.
• The finished product must be ironed thoroughly.
• The final stage of making the jumpsuit will be its decoration. How you decorate the product depends entirely on your imagination. You can decorate the jumpsuit with zippers, embroidery or buttons.

ATTENTION!

When using decorative elements, it is important to remember the golden rule of a sense of proportion.

Remember: the one who does nothing makes no mistakes. Even if you made some mistake, do not fall into despair, take it calmly, as a lesson for the future. Experiment, try, let your imagination flow into beautiful things, and you will always be irresistible and unique.

Although many people argue that overalls are uncomfortable and impractical, I still disagree with this. There is something attractive about this piece of women's clothing, and if so, then it should be in every woman's closet.

However, a jumpsuit is a thing that is not suitable for every figure, so some women find it quite difficult to choose one in a store. There is only one thing left to do - sew the overalls with your own hands, tailoring the product to your individual characteristics. I offer ready-made jumpsuit patterns in two sizes - 38 (M) and 40 (L). Sewing difficulty level is easy. Therefore, sewing such a thing will not be difficult even for novice craftswomen.

What you will need:

• Any light fabric to choose from: silk crepe de Chine, viscose cambric or cotton satin - 2.6 * 1.4 m,
• Non-woven formband
