Do you have any tips for sewing with a pattern?

Each of our fabulously stylish patterns comes with detailed and simple to follow step-by-step instructions for making that specific item, and we recommend that you read these carefully prior to beginning your project. Experts recommend ironing your paper pattern on the lowest setting after it has been cut out to ensure that it lies flat to the material.

Choose a sewing pattern that has been designed for your sewing level. Patterns may offer several different types of fabrics that could be used, and they will provide a rough estimate of fabric yardages required. However, we always recommend buying extra fabric to take both shrinking allowance and seam allowance into consideration.

Is there anything else I need to consider when making clothing and accessories for babies and young children?

When making clothes for babies and young children, it is also important to take the type of fastener that you use into consideration. Small items such as buttons can pose a choking hazard, and there is always the risk of them coming loose. Snaps are a particularly good choice when making clothes for babies, as these are extra secure and easy to open and close when changing.

When you are choosing the fabric for the intended baby wearer, also remember that it is wise to choose a fabric that is easily washable, as children can have a tendency to get dirty quickly. Choose stretchy fabrics, so your infant has plenty of room to move and one that is breathable to help regulate baby's temperature. When pre-washing your fabric, please ensure that you use both a laundry detergent and a fabric softener that has been purposely designed to be kind to baby's sensitive skin.
