Now you rarely see a baby wrapped in a blanket. Increasingly, mothers purchase or sew a special envelope for discharge from the hospital. This is the right decision, as modern insulated, natural, light fabrics are better than heavy, voluminous grandmother's blankets. The pattern of an envelope for a newborn with a hood may be different, depending on the purpose, models, material.

Types of envelopes

• The bag. Very simple modelka in the form of a bag with a hood. Inside - natural material, outside - waterproof fabric. The baby is fixed with Velcro and zippers.
• Quilt. The pattern of an envelope for a newborn with a hood is a blanket with Velcro, fasteners, zippers. The model transforms into a child, turning into a cone.
• Jumpsuit. The most popular envelope. The top of it is made like a jacket with sleeves, and the bottom is a bag. Suitable for activebabies.
• Automobile. The model can go both with a bag and overalls. The main difference between the car envelope is the inclusion of special slots for seat belts.
• Envelope with a bottom. It looks like the first model, only it has a hard, dense removable bottom that allows you to fix the baby's back. Suitable for young dads who are afraid to take newborns in their arms.

All types of envelopes can be winter, summer, demi-season, with or without decorations.

Summer hooded envelope for newborns: pattern

Measure a rectangle 90x80 cm. Mark the middle with a dotted line (after 45 cm). Step back from the edges by 20 centimeters. Draw a rectangle (40x90 cm) with rounded corners. This is the base of the envelope. Immediately note the hood, the lower part.

For the hood, measure 30 cm in the center of the rectangle. On the resulting quadrangle (30x20 cm), draw a trapezoid, where the top of the base is 10 centimeters and the bottom is 30 cm. The front is five centimeters shorter. To do this, on a quadrangle pattern (30x20 cm), measure 5 cm from the base of the envelope by drawing a solid line. According to this pattern, cut out the hood.

It turned out a rectangular envelope with a hood for newborns. The bottom pattern can be in the form of a bag or panties. In our case, consider the second option. To do this, step back 20 centimeters from the base of the envelope on both sides. Draw pants where the bottom of the legs is placed on the central 10 cm, and up - 25 cm.

To determinethe front of the panties, draw a trapezoid 25 centimeters high from the base of the envelope with oval upper corners. That is, the upper part of the trapezoid corresponds to 30 cm, is parallel to the bottom of the hood, and the base is 45 cm. This will be the third pattern of the product.

Cutting and sewing a summer envelope

A model is sewn from soft fleece (1x1.5 m). Pin on the fabric the first pattern of the envelope with a hood and panties. Cut out the part without allowances at the edges.

Cut out the front part of the hood (taking into account the allowance for the lapel) and panties on a paper pattern. Pin with pins, cut off. Now sew all the parts. Please note: if the envelope is made of one fabric, then the seams go out (decorate with a zigzag or braid).

If you make a pattern from cotton, fleece, then sew as usual. First, sew the patterns of two fabrics together (wrong side to each other), and then - the hood, panties. Sew on ties, Velcro, buttons along the edges.

Who sews badly, just make the bottom like a sleeping bag (for newborns). The pattern will be an inverted trapezoid with an oval lower (30 cm) and upper (50 cm from the base of the envelope) base.

Such models are good for household use: wrap the baby after bathing or before going to bed. Especially suitable for babies who are frightened in a dream and wake up from trembling hands and feet. Such an envelope does not constrain the child, but at the same time prevents from sudden swings.

How to sew an envelope for a newborn with your own hands in 2 hours

The model is suitable for walking. The pattern is somewhat reminiscent of the firstenvelope, but is an irregularly shaped oval. A wide hood, panties give complete freedom to the child, and belts at the waist fix his position.

This is the easiest and most convenient pattern for a newborn envelope with a hood, as it does not require strict patterns. Even a novice seamstress will cope with the layout of an oval envelope. But the wide hood does not protect the baby from the wind, so put on a cap.

Cut out and sewn according to the principle of the first envelope. The base is ground with a hood, belts are sewn in the middle, then panties. The edges are processed with an oblique inlay. If you want an unusual envelope in the form of an animal, then choose the appropriate color, material, cut out the ears, sew with a hood.

Pay attention to the following fact. Any appliqués, sequins, beads, other decorations are sewn on, not attached with glue. Small parts are not close to the face or hands. The model with decorations starts with decorating them, and then stitching all the linings.

Warm blanket-blanket

For a blanket, you need cotton, a synthetic winterizer measuring 1.8x1.5 meters, about one meter of oblique inlay, 50 centimeters of elastic, zippers 25 and 55 cm long. The pattern of a winter envelope for a newborn with a hood is a rectangle (90x85 cm) with pocket (15x45 cm).

First, cut out the patterns of two parts from all materials, taking into accountseam allowances. Then you grind the pocket, sew a drawstring for the elastic at the top, turn it inside out, iron it along the seam. Insert an elastic band, process the edges with an oblique trim, attach to the front of the envelope.

You grind the details of the blanket, sew zippers from the edges, turn it outward, sew the unsewn section with a blind seam. Iron all seams. Now put the envelope pocket down. Fasten the long zipper halfway, close it with a pocket, turning it inside out. Put the child in the envelope, fasten the zipper to a certain level. Fasten the short zipper if you need a hood.

Which material to choose for a winter envelope

Whether you sew the envelope yourself or buy it, pay attention to the lining:

• Synthetic winterizer at an inexpensive price, does not deform when washed, easy to cut. But at the same time it does not heat well, so use it for spring and autumn models.
• Bamboo has the same properties as synthetic winterizer. That is, light, resistant to deformation, not suitable for winter due to low thermoregulation properties.
• Sheepskin is used for removable linings. The material retains heat even in winter. Any unpleasant odors can be eliminated by ventilation. The material is hypoallergenic, lightweight.
• Goose down is not inferior to sheepskin in terms of thermoregulation, but loses in terms of caring for it. Fluff rolls into lumps when washed, may come out of the seams.

The lining can be removable or one piece. For the inside of the envelope, use cotton, chintz, flannel, calico. For the front, use any fabric (fleece, satin,raincoat fabric), please note that an envelope with a smooth surface may slide in your hands.

Knit patterns

For knitting, any pattern of an envelope for a newborn with a hood is suitable. If you choose a hook, then you create patterns exactly according to the pattern, since the product is dense. If you choose knitting needles, then first knit the sample, do the work on calculating the loops. You can knit all the patterns with knitting needles, and adjust the shape with a crochet.

Attach baby pants, a blouse on paper and draw a pattern in the form of a star. Now tie a pentagon with single crochet stitches. As a basis, you can take the scheme of a five-pointed napkin, adding two columns in each row. Then finish knitting each limb separately. Next, knit the same elements, creating a hood, sleeves, panties. Sew on buttons on the side.

You can knit a regular rectangle. As a pattern, take an elastic band or alternating facial rows with braids. Sew corners at one end to form a hood. Attach a brush on top. Crochet the edges. Sew buttons on the sides, the envelope is ready.

Many mothers do not want to overpay for an envelope for discharge from the hospital, but at the same time they want an elegant model with ruffles and frills. For solemn occasions, you can sew a simple cut and elegant envelope. Choose thick fleece, satin, braid, appliqués, accessories.

Let's look at the steps of how to sew a winter envelope for a newborn:

• make a rectangle pattern 130x69 cm;
• divide it vertically into three parts at 17, 35, 17 cm;
• horizontally from below, measure the lines on the rectangle through 55, 51, 24 cm;
• circle the envelope template, where the central rectangle (35x130 cm) is the basis of the model with sidewalls (17x51 cm), round the top of the hood;
• cut out the pattern on the fabric;
• grinding the details of fleece, satin from below;

Popular coveralls

Mostly, mothers prefer an envelope-overall with a removable lining. The model is a bag with sleeves and a hood. Convenient for winter. Beginning seamstresses will find it difficult to pattern a hooded baby romper, so you need to find the exact patterns in special magazines or look for models with a one-piece lining.
