Slips for newborns

That there may not say people's signs, but a rare woman does not begin to prepare a wardrobe for her baby even before his birth. And then she faces the first problem: the modern market for clothes for newborns is so diverse that it can not be understood without help. What is better to wear a baby? Diapers for newborns and ryazhonki, baby body and slips, sliders, booties, hats and blouses - how much is needed and what size to take - the head is spinning. In this article we will talk about the universal and most comfortable clothes for newborn babies and slips.

How does the slip for a newborn look?

Slips for newborns are knitted, fleece or velor overalls with closed legs and handles. Slips can be used for sleeping, both casual clothing, and for walking. The most important convenience of the slip is that it closes the baby's body, does not prevent it from moving, while protecting it reliably from the cold. Slipiki for newborns save mother's time and nerves significantly when changing a diaper, because it is enough to unfasten the buttons between the legs. According to most modern moms, slips are the most comfortable clothes for newborns, and the variety of models is so great that each mom can choose something for her taste and wallet.

How to choose a slip for a newborn?

1. Slippers made of 100% cotton are more convenient and practical. The skin of the baby will breathe in them, and their densities are enough to prevent the child from freezing. If the room is cool, on top of the slip, you can put on socks or put the baby in a special bedroom - a two-piece sleeping bag, with buckles on the shoulders.
2. It is not necessary to take slings for newborns, which will have to be worn over the head. This will cause inconvenience to the baby and mom. It is better to stop your choice on slips with a fastener in front, going from the neck to the legs. Unfastening the buttons, mom can easily change clothes even a sleeping baby, minimally disturbing him.
3. On the statement for newborns you can buy a slip of velor, with elegant trim. But in everyday use, such models for newborns are not very convenient.
4. It is not necessary to buy for a baby more than 5 slips of each size. Children grow fast, so in this matter it is better to follow the principle of "less is better" than to buy a lot of clothes, which then will not be needed.
5. It is not necessary to choose models with seams outside. First, for quality clothing, the seams are processed in such a way as not to inconvenience the crumbs, and secondly, the slips are usually quite spacious, so skin contact with the seams is minimal.

How to sew a slip for a newborn?

There is nothing dearer to the mother's heart than a beloved child, quietly snuffling in a dress sewn with mother's hands. In order to sew a warm slip for a newborn with our own hands, we need a flannel. You can sew parts by using an overlock or a conventional sewing machine that has a zigzag function. Figure 1-6 shows the pattern of the slip for the newborn, made taking into account the allowances for seams (solid line). Let's proceed to the cutting:

1. We will cut out one detail of the backrest.
2. The front half of the panties we need to carve two times - directly and in a mirror image.
3. Half sleeves will need four pieces - two straight and two mirrored.
4. The top of the transmission consists of two shelves, so the part must be cut out two times - directly and in a mirror image.
5. Details of a heel and a sock (fig. 5) also we cut out on two pieces, for each leg.
6. The last detail is a gusset, it needs to be cut once.

Sewing:

1. We adjust the pants to the size of the shelf and socks. To do this, let's lay a double line on the top and bottom of the panties and tighten the lower thread.
2. We sew the shelf with the top of the panties.
3. We sew the side and shoulder seams, stick in the sleeves.
4. We sew into the padded seam of the gusset, combining it with the detail of the backrest along the green marks.
5. We will connect the details of the heel and socks, we will construct them and sew them accordingly to the details of the backrest and the gear.
6. We sew buttons, two on each leg and three in front.
