Jacket for boy

Patterns of a children's jacket for a boy or girl aged 1 to 3 years are practically the same, you can only focus on individual details and the choice of fabric. For example, it can be embroidery, applique, decorative stitching, which is typical for both boys and girls.

For boys you can useelements such as rockets, ships and ships, planes and helicopters, cars. You can apply sports elements: balls, clubs, sewn numbers. You can buy ready-made chevrons, thermal stickers, stitched embroidery in any sewing department.

For girls harmonious colors will be: pink, turquoise, beige. You can also use neutral colors that are suitable for any gender: green, yellow, white.

Sizes

Let's make a pattern of a children's jacket for the age from 1 to 3 years. But the kids are all different, so before sewing, you need to take all the measurements from the child:

• waist;
• neck volume;
• sleeve length with and without elbow fold;
• chest volume;
• neck volume.

Write down all sizes and compare with the sizes indicated on the pattern of the children's jacket given in the article. This will help guide you through the drafting process.

So, if you need a pattern for a baby jacket for a boy for 1 year, you can use the same pattern, justadjust the dimensions: add or reduce, if necessary, the length of the sleeve or the length of the product, the width of the shelves and back.

What you need for sewing

To build a pattern you will need:

• graph paper or tracing paper;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• Measuring tape.

To cut: scissors, chalk or dry soap, safety pins.

For future product:

• cut of denim;
• threads;
• lace fabric only on the hood;
• 2 buttons on pockets;
• zipper;
• and of course, good mood, because you are sewing for your beloved child!

Threads can be either in the tone of the fabric, or vice versa, contrasting, they can be used to make decorative stitching on pockets or a hood.

This model is unlined, the inside seams are overlocked.

This pattern of a baby jacket for a boy is also quite suitable if you modify it a little. For example, remove gathers on the yoke front and back, make a straight back and shelves. And of course, remove the lace from the hood, it can be replaced with a checkered cotton fabric, then we will get a quite decent jacket for a little boy.

And if you want to insulate the jacket for cool weather, in this case you will need insulation and lining. The insulation can be stitched directly onto the lining fabric, or you can buy everything separately. A synthetic winterizer, holofiber, tinsulate or any other can be used as a heater.

Selecting material

You can buy ready-made fabric in the sewing departments or use an old unnecessary thing: give it a new life, so to speak.

The material can be to your taste: raincoat fabrics, taffeta, denim, corduroy, fleece, even velvet or knitwear will do.
