How to sew a robe for a child, if you can not cut? Step-by-step photos will help you understand how to make a children's bathrobe yourself
To sew a bathrobe for a child fromtowels, it will take a maximum of two hours. You don't need to be a seamstress or a cutter to do this. Following our advice, any parent can sew a robe for their baby. What do you need for this?
- large towel
- half a meter of fabric
- a dress or sweater that fits your child loosely.
What to do? 1. Fold the towel in four.Place it on a flat surface and place itdress or T-shirt on top so that the center of the collar matches the center corner of the towel and the sleeves go towards the open side of the towel. 2. Cut around the dress or T-shirt, leaving about 15 cm all the way around. Do not cut anything at the top of the towel, just around the bottom of the sleeve.
3. Open the towel and lay it flat as shown in the picture below, cut the front part down the middle.
4. Make a hood using two cut pieces of towel.
Now is a good time to try on the hoodon the child. Place the hood on his head and mark the desired height. If the child is not nearby when you are going to sew, measure in advance the distance from the top of his head to the back of his head. 5. To attach the hood to the towel, you will need to measure the width of the hood and then divide by 4. Now form the neckline of the robe: fold the robe in four, as you did at the beginning. Measure the required distance (1/4 of the hood width) and cut all 4 layers at the same time.
6. Pin the hood to the neck opening you just created – and sew.
7. Pin the robe together under the arms – and sew.
8. Now you have the base of the robe.
Let's start decorating it! Here you can deviate from the instructions and show your imagination. 9. Cut strips of fabric 12 cm wide.
Sew them around the edges of the robe and hood.
You should also sew a belt from this fabric, which is preferably sewn to the back of the robe so that it does not get lost.
10. Then you can cut out two squares from the same fabric using pattern scissors – and make appliques.
Voila! The robe is ready and the money is not spent!
I hope this instruction will be useful for parents.
