Baby romper pattern, baby 0–3 m

Sewing instructions

General steps to sew this garment. Seam allowance is 1 cm (3/8") unless stated otherwise.

Supplies

• Knit fabric (jersey, interlock or similar)
• Snaps
• Matching thread and the right needle

1. Prewash and press your fabric before cutting so it will not shrink after sewing.
2. Print the pattern at 100%, check the test square and cut the pieces following the cutting list. Transfer notches, darts and button marks.
3. Cut with the greatest stretch running horizontally (around the body). Use pattern weights instead of pins so the knit does not distort.
4. Sew knits with a serger or a stretch stitch (narrow zigzag) and a ballpoint needle.
5. Join front and back at the shoulders, right sides together. You can stabilize the seam with clear elastic or a strip of selvage.
6. Prepare the knit bindings: fold in half, sew to the edge with slight stretch, turn them to the inside and topstitch from the right side.
7. Sew the underarm and side seam in one go, matching the armhole seams.
8. Finish the crotch with plackets and add the snaps.
