We sew leggings for children with our own hands, using detailed instructions with photos and diagrams
Sewing leggings for your little girl with cuffsMany young mothers like to sew some wardrobe items for their children with their own hands. There is a huge scope for imagination here, but the choice is always yours. We suggest sewing leggings with cuffs for a baby, using simple appliques and a small button in the form of a cat to add extra originality. So, you will need:
- dvuhryryn (you can take non-woven fabric);
- pink interlacus (cotton singing) half a meter;
- riban gray (cotton with the addition of elastane) on the cuffs;
- applique (in our case, it is a piece of fabric with a flower print);
- scissors;
- thread of pink color;
- button (in the form of a cat);
- elastic waist;
- Pins;
- pattern leggings for a girl 1-2 years old. We took the following pattern. It goes without cuffs, but you can make them yourself.
Looking at the pattern, you will see one leg:There are no side seams in the pants. To get a pattern for size 86, you need to enlarge the drawing so that the waist line (in the illustration - the vertical one on the left) is equal to 28 centimeters. You can choose almost any height of the cuffs, for example, a pattern for 5 centimeters will be equal to 2.5 centimeters of finished cuffs. As for the length of the cuffs, it is approximately equal to ¾ the length of the bottom of the legs. Step # 1. Cut out all the details. First, you need to attach the pattern to the interlock piece folded in half and you will get two main parts. It is important to fold the fabric inside out: this way you get two mirror-image legs. When this element is done, start cutting out the cuffs from the rib fabric. Step # 2. Take the blank for the applique and attach it to the place on the leg where they should be located. For our example, there are supposed to be 2 flowers on each side of the legs, so in the illustration they are in the center of the leg.
Step #3.Since it is quite difficult to make a patch on knitwear, we put interlining (or replace it with interlining) under the main part. This will reduce the possibility of stretching the knitwear. Therefore, first we cut out the outlines of the patches from interlining, slightly larger than the size of the flowers themselves.
Step #4.We turn the trousers over to the wrong side, place the pieces of interlining in the places designated for the patches and iron them. The temperature of the iron will cause the interlining to stick to the fabric and after that we move on to fixing the appliqués themselves.
Step #5.Turn the trousers over again, only now on the front, and place the appliques where you attached the interlining on the back. Fix them with tailor's pins, and then baste them with thread.
Step #6.Sew the patches along the contour using a sewing machine, using a zigzag with the minimum possible distance between stitches. The knitted fabric will stretch slightly anyway, but this problem is easily fixed. To do this, simply go over the product with an iron. Sew all the marked patches to the legs. Step No. 7. Next, fold the two legs so that they are turned face inward. After this, you need to baste the armholes of both parts of the pants (back and front).
Step #8. We sew two armholes with a machine, first using the “teeth” stitch, and then the overlock stitch.
Step #9.Fold the seam allowances to one side so that the leggings are neat enough. Next, fold each leg separately and secure the inseam with pins. If necessary or for ease of sewing, you can baste the legs. To prevent the fabric from unraveling, you need to sew along the inseam with a sewing machine: first with a knitted stitch, and then with an overlock stitch. Step #10. Since we have made the base of the leggings, we can move on to the cuffs. Fold it horizontally and iron it; the central fold, however, should be clearly visible. After this, fold the cuff rectangle in half vertically and stitch the edges. You will get a kind of “donut”. Fold the cuff in half horizontally as well, and hide the seam allowances inside. Step #11. Put on our double “donut” on the lower part of the leg, so that the edges of the "donut" are turned down. We distribute the cuffs as evenly as possible along the lower edge of the legs and fix them with pins. Step #12. After you have done this with both legs, you will need to baste the cuffs to them, periodically stretching them, since they are approximately ¼ narrower than the legs. Step #13. We stitch both cuffs with a knitted seam. Next, we take out the basting threads and turn the legs right side out. After this, we go over the lower edge of the legs again with a knitted seam, retreating no more than a thread millimeters from the cuffs. Step #14. The upper part of our product needs to be tucked in so that the top is hidden inside the legs. Please note that you need to tuck the fabric so that the elastic can fit under the folded part. Fix the folded part by basting. Try to bast 3-5 millimeters from the edge: it will then be easy to navigate where to stitch with the machine. Step #15. Using a knitted seam, make lines along the basted lines. Next, using an overlock stitch, stitch under this line. Insert the elastic into the resulting "tunnel", sew it up and sew up the hole into which the elastic was inserted.To mark the front of the leggings and give themadditional elegance, sew a button with a cat to the elastic. That's all! Leggings with cuffs for a girl are done! If you decide to sew pants without patches according to this pattern, then you will get quite a comfortable bottom part of the pajamas.
