What is special about this set for children and babies?

With this practical set of three, you don't have to search for long! With one click, you have everything you need for a complete children's outfit: pants, shirt, and neckerchief.

This saves time and nerves – giving you more time to relax and pursue your favorite hobby! :)



What is special about this eBook?

To make this eBook beginner-friendly, I deliberately avoided overlapping the different sizes in a nest.

The eBook therefore contains all pattern pieces separately in individual sizes on 12 pages. This makes it easy for sewing beginners to find their way around. This way, you know exactly whether you have all the pattern pieces ready.

Here's how: print the pages, glue them together, and cut out the pattern. It couldn't be easier!

About the children's shirt Luv

Sewing a set for children and babies

The children's shirt Luv is a comfortable, slightly longer-cut basic piece that you can modify to your heart's content. The shirt does not require any buttons, ribbons, or other fasteners. It has a casual, slightly loose fit, so it fits even sturdier children comfortably.


About the children's pants Lee

Sewing a set for children and babies

Lee is a casually cut pair of children's pants. The legs are medium-width, so they don't get in the way while playing but also don't feel restrictive. There are no annoying buttons or drawstrings.

And of course, you can decorate both pieces as you like, add iron-on transfers, embroider them, or combine different fabrics. There are no limits to your imagination here! :)


About the neckerchief

It is as simple as it is ingenious: firstly, the instructions for all work steps are described very easily.

And secondly, the children's neckerchief is a true one-size wonder. It fits from newborns to children up to approx. 5 years old.

What fabrics can you use to sew the set for children and babies?

All stretchy fabrics are suitable for the children's set, such as these:


The children's sets in the pictures are sewn from a maritime jersey,* jersey in navy blue*, and a powder-colored panda fabric (French Terry) from Stoffe Hemmers. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the panda fabric online anymore, but there is a huge selection of beautiful French Terry fabrics* at Hemmers, where I always find what I need.

French Terry is particularly well-suited for first sewing projects: it doesn't curl when sewing and is overall much less complicated to process than jersey!

By the way: Read everything about sewing with French Terry fabrics.

About the author

Sabine

I come from Siegen-Wittgenstein, where I spent my childhood breaking in cows, jumping off haystacks and scraping a D- in needlework class.

Today, being creative feels like indescribable happiness to me – and it grows even more when I can share it with others. Since 2016 I have been celebrating my passion for sewing on this blog, and I love that sewing connects so many people.
