Master class on pattern of envelope for newborn - do it yourself
What should I wear to pick up my baby from the maternity hospital?This is a question that all mothers who are expecting a baby ask themselves. You want the baby to be warm and comfortable when he first appears in public. And at the same time, you want the baby to be dressed in a beautiful and unusual way when he is discharged. That is why envelopes have become so popular. You can not only discharge your baby from the hospital in them, but also walk with him in a stroller. First, choose the fabric. If you are sewing a summer envelope, it is better to use cotton fabrics. If the envelope is winter, then you should pay attention to fleece. For demi-season envelopes, you can combine these fabrics. Modern artificial materials can be used as insulation, they are hypoallergenic and retain heat well. You will also need 2 buttons to decorate the lapel, 3 zippers and threads to match. In this case, for the outer layer, we take ticking with a bright cucumber pattern.For the inner layer, a bright yellow polar was chosen.Teplin in 2 was used as insulationlayer. Let's start cutting. The size of this envelope is 75 cm x 40 cm. First, let's draw the details of our envelope. There are two of them. For the back part, draw a rectangle measuring 75x40 cm. Round off the lower corners of the part, while the upper ones remain rectangular. Make 2 cm allowances. The upper part is 65x40. Round off all corners for this part. Also make 2 cm allowances. Now cut out the fabric. One piece of fleece, one piece of ticking, two pieces of insulation. Put together the layers of our parts.When folded, it looks like this.Let's start sewing. First, we sew the inner layer of fleece together with the insulation.We make lines in the middle of the product so that the fabric does not move.Sew the outer part of the product along the edge. Don't forget to sew in zippers on both sides so that our envelope can be unzipped!On the top piece we leave space for the lapel (approximately 25 cm). This is what the top piece looks like.We sew the second part in the same way, not forgetting to sew in the zippers. Please note - on the back part at the top you also need to sew in a zipper so that the hood of our envelope opens.When both parts are ready, sew them along the bottom edge. The envelope is ready!It opens on both sides. If the child is sleeping, undressing him after a walk will not be difficult. The hood can also be unzipped to create a soft mat.You can buy an envelope here
