With our new "Sew a Baby Star" pattern, you can conjure up a cozy jumpsuit for your little favorite person without much effort!
Sewing a baby star for toddlers (5-10 months)
After we released our pattern for the large baby star , we received many requests asking if we could also make a baby star for smaller children. Ask and you shall receive:
Here is our new "Sew a Baby Star" pattern for babies between 5 and 10 months old!
What age is the finished baby star suitable for?
The finished jumpsuit fits babies aged approximately 5–10 months. When choosing the size, you should definitely pay attention to the baby star's measurements.
What is a baby star used for?
A baby star is super practical as an outfit for the stroller, in the car, or as a sleeping bag.
The attached hood is cut generously so that a second hat can also fit underneath.
The front sections overlap generously and are simply placed on top of each other without a fastener. This makes getting dressed and undressed quick and easy.
Optionally, you can attach a snap button or Velcro.
The sleeves have an opening that can be closed with a fold-over mitten that is sewn directly on. This way, little hands always stay nice and warm, and the mittens cannot be lost.
Can you also sew the baby star for summer?
A baby star is wonderful for keeping a baby nice and warm at the beach, in the stroller, or in the crib. If you sew it from jersey or summer sweat fabric, it is also suitable as a light jumpsuit that protects delicate skin from wind and sun!

How big is the medium-sized baby star?
Measured from shoulder to crotch seam: 49 cm; measured from hood to foot end: 82.5 cm; measured from mitten to mitten: 72 cm. It fits children from approx. 5–10 months.
This dreamily beautiful baby star was sewn by Michaela from himmelblau + erbsengrün!
What is included in the eBook?
The 43-page eBook contains:
- a detailed, illustrated sewing tutorial
- the layout plan for the sewing pattern
- the sewing pattern in full size for printing
How does the sewing pattern work?
The most time-consuming part of this sewing project is taping the pattern pieces together. :) However, the pattern comes with a layout plan that makes it very easy!
Compared to our first baby star for babies from 10–18 months, we have significantly simplified the pattern for this version.
Do you have to finish the edges with bias tape?
Not at all! If you don't feel like finishing with bias tape, you can add a small seam allowance and simply fold the edges over and hem them. A pretty decorative stitch, perhaps in a contrasting color, also works very well as an edge finish!
Some fabrics, such as boiled wool or fleece, can also be left raw-edged and finished just with a blanket stitch.
How much fabric do I need for the baby star?
With a fabric width of 1.50 m, you need approx. 2 meters of fabric.
Which fabrics can be used to sew the baby star?
The baby star can be sewn from cotton fleece, sweat fabric, jersey, double-face fabrics, fleece, boiled wool, and many other stretchy materials.
The beautiful red fleece with white polka dots* and the dark blue jersey bias tape* are from Stoffe Hemmers*. I also found great organic quality cotton fleece* there, which I will use for my next baby star! I'm already looking forward to it! :)
