More undies! This time I am going to show you how easy is to make your own cotton underware for kids. Actually, I am going to show you only the "difficult part": the crotch. Finishing the edges can be done in many different ways but I am not going to explain them here. First you cut the pattern pieces. You should have one back, one front and 2 crotch pieces. In my example the inner crotch piece is less wide because I am going to finish the edge with a seam. If you use an elastic trim, the crotch pieces will be identical. Baste the wider end of the outer crotch against the lower edge of the back: Pin and sew the wider end of the inner crotch on the other side of the back. You have a sandwich: outer crotch, back of undies, inner crotch: Sew the pieces together using a jersey stitch. Remove the basting thread. Trim the edge at 3 mm or overlock it flat in place. I trim for less bulk. Trim the corners. Baste the lower edge of the front of the undie...

For a baby girl - what to sew, buy or give as a gift Just before my first baby was born, I had no idea about baby clothes. I bought whatever I found cute, so I ended up with a lot of uncomfortable clothes and clothes that never got worn. I wish somebody told me. I would have probably bought the useless but cute clothes anyway... From 2 -3 years up, or from the moment the child is fully mobile and potty trained, children clothes will differ only in size, not in function. Also, from that age children start having their own preferences. But before that, we are 100% in charge with choosing what they wear. Every step in a baby's development has its specific clothing needs. 0-6 month: Baby clothing in size 50 is not a good idea, unless specified by the mother. Many babies never get to wear it because they are already born bigger. The "average" baby wears it for 3 weeks. You will think :"ok, but during that 3 weeks she still has to wear something". Well...

Hurrah, my labels are in! From now on, this is the label I will put on everything (weel, almost everything...) I sew. This girl's going more and more profi!
