A child's sleep is an important indicator of his health and well-being. A child spends most of the day in his first years of life in bed. Therefore, special attention, in the child's room, must be given to the sleeping place. Mattress, pillow and bed linen are important helpers for proper rest and sleep. In a dream, the child grows and develops.

The bed linen plays a special role, it should be pleasant to the touch, warm, breathable. Fabrics can only be of high quality, have all the necessary certificates. After all, bed linen is in close contact with the child's skin, the most sensitive covering of the human body. Those who have come across low-quality linen know how much discomfort and irritation it brings. Such rest does not provide deep relaxation, sleep will be intermittent and restless. Therefore, the child's morning will begin with a bad mood and whims.

The quality of baby sleepwear must be tested and of high quality. It should not cause allergies, the dye in such fabrics is odorless and does not fade. It can be difficult to find good underwear among the many manufacturers of baby bed sets. For parents who responsibly and meticulously approach this issue, there is a way out that will not only satisfy all wishes for the quality of the bed, but also save the family budget.

Sew kids clothes in a crib, to your baby, is not the most difficult thing. You just need to be patient and show a little imagination. This is a very entertaining business, you can safely turn on your imagination and create something unique.

Now in stores there is just an incredible selection of fabrics, with all sorts of prints, various colors and textures. They are ready to provide all the required certificates. When choosing fabrics for baby bedding, you should give preference to 100% cotton fabrics, such as calico or chintz. These materials are time-tested, they are perfect for the delicate skin of a child.

Before buying a fabric, you need to decide on the design of your kit. What cut will the sheet, pillowcase and duvet cover have? The bedding set should not be large in relation to the pillow, blanket and mattress. It is convenient to use a sheet with elastic bands, as children spin a lot in bed before going to bed and during sleep. In case of wetness, such a sheet can be easily removed and replaced with a new one. The pillowcase for the baby's pillow should be overlapped. Buttons, buttons and a lock are not the safest accessories in a baby's crib. The duvet cover can be made with a secret lock or with a large hole on the outer sheet, through which you can easily thread and straighten the blanket.

After you have thought about the design of your kit, you need to determine how much fabric will be spent on sewing it. On a sheet of paper, we draw the exact layout of all the details, placing them in such a way as to minimize the consumption of fabric. Do not forget to take into account the seam allowances. For a set in a standard children's bed, measuring 120 x 60 cm, you need a fabric 150 cm wide.To sew a complete set of bedding from it, consisting of a pillowcase, sheet and duvet cover, we purchase a fabric length of 350 cm.

How much length should you take if the width of the fabric you like is 220 cm? The layout for this material width will be slightly different. For a bedding set, the base of which is 120 x 60 cm, you will need material 250 cm long.

After purchase, the material must be washed, as 100% cotton fabric shrinks well. After drying and heat treatment, we proceed to transfer our layout to the fabric, leave allowances for the seams and cut out. We connect the cuts using a linen stitch when processing the edges.

Material consumption depends on your vision of the finished bedding. It is not difficult to calculate it, knowing the size of the mattress, blanket and pillow. Choose the most economical layout of the kit parts. Check your layout a few times on a piece of paper before purchasing fabric. Supplement bed linen sets can be bumpers in the bed and a convenient organizer. You just need to include the details of these accessories in your layout.

Having sewed the bed linen once with your own hands, most likely you will continue to do this. In the store, a good set for a crib costs a very decent amount of money. The cost of self-made linen will be several times cheaper. Sewing with your own hands is not only saving the family budget, but also a pleasant experience for the soul. Such a set, made with love and awe, will carry a special energy that will allow the baby to sleep peacefully all night and have sweet dreams.

Today we will go through the process of sewing bedding for a baby cot step by step. The size is standard, comes also from the USSR - 0.6m x1.2m. Why did you decide to sew with your own hands, and not buy a ready-made set of luxurious silk or satin?

The answer is simple, due to the sharp increase in cotton prices, the prices for ready-made sets have increased significantly, although there are also inexpensive baby bedding. But we are ready to sew bed linen with our own hands and thus not waste the family budget, and you need to periodically shake off dust from the sewing machine.

Choice of fabric

Here, rely on your taste and the wishes of the child, if he is already old enough to ask for a bed with smeshariki or Winx fairies. In general, I prefer calico fabric, because its composition is 100% cotton. What else is needed for the sensitive skin of the baby, it is true, the absence of irritation and good absorption of sweat.

If the funds are too small for the purchase of fabric for bedding, then pay attention to the polycotone. It will not work for babies, but from 3-4 years old, you can use it carefully. In the composition of polyester (synthetic thread) and cotton, try to choose a fabric where the polyester will be no more than 30%.

Cut the fabric

We procure coarse calico 1.5 m with a length of 3.0 m, lace - 5 m.

We make a sheet with a margin, the size of the blank is 1.10 m by 1.50 m.And the remaining sheet we will put on the duvet cover. It remains for us to cut a piece of fabric lengthwise 102 cm wide by 222 cm long. Now when you fold the cut, you get a duvet cover with seam allowances.

You can make a cut for tucking the blanket in the center, in the form of a circle or a figure eight. If a circle, then its diameter is 35 cm, and if you decide to make an eight (as in the photo below), then the size of most of it is 25 cm, less than 15 cm.

My child has a half pillow 30 cm x 40 cm, so I use the rest of the fabric to sew the pillowcase. The size was calculated according to this principle: 30 + 30 (length) +20 (fold) + 3 (for allowances) \u003d total cut is needed 83 cm by 45 cm.

Sewing bed linen for a child

Fold the piece of fabric for the sheet with the wrong side out 2 times, weave it along the very edge.
We break the duvet cover in half with the seamy side out and stitch along the top of the future product. Then we sew a long side seam. I sew lace on the neckline of the duvet cover, not forgetting the folds. I leave the steering wheel on one circle so that it is convenient to tie a bow later. I process the edge of the duvet cover with a zig-zag stitch.

I sew lace on the pillowcase cut, also with folds on three sides. I sew the first two edges by 0.5 cm and sew the sidewalls with a zig-zag stitch.

When caring for a newborn, every detail counts. The baby's bedding plays an important role in this. Mommies have always been worried about the question, which is better, buy underwear or sew it yourself?

The bedding set for babies includes:

As usual, the size of bedding for a baby is always standard: for a blanket and sheet it is 140 cm long and 100 cm wide; The pillowcase will measure 40 cm by 60 cm in length and width respectively. Therefore, if you have a baby crib custom sizes, then in this case it is better to sew the bedding yourself.

The choice of material for bedding and proper care

Taking care of the baby's delicate skin for bedding, it is better to choose natural cotton fabrics. That is why mothers choose flannel, chintz or satin. Also, with proper care for a newborn, it is also important to follow the rules for caring for his clothes, bedding and other baby accessories. Read about how to iron things for newborns . On the site o4istote.ru moms are given in detail useful tips, describes how to iron things for newborns and why it is necessary to iron them.

How to sew bedding for a baby yourself?

To sew a bedding set, you will need about 4 m of fabric, with a width of 1.5 m.

Step 1. Be sure to wash the fabric in hot soapy water before sewing. Rinse, dry and iron it.

Step 2. For the sheet, we measure the length of 110 cm and 5 cm of the allowance, the width is 1.5 m.

Step 3. For the duvet cover we measure 1.1 m + 1.1 m + 5 cm \u003d 2.25 m.

Step 4. From the piece of fabric that we have left, we cut out a pillowcase 45 cm wide, and 0.6 m long + 0.6 m + 5 cm + 20 cm at the start \u003d 1.45 m

The sheet can be simply swept with a cut or closed cut. You can also sew it with an elastic band.

The duvet cover is sewn according to this principle. We fold the fabric provided for the duvet cover in the middle, then sew the short sides and one long side with a double stitch or overcast. Leave a 50 cm hole on either side for the blanket. The hole just needs to be swept or seamed.

Now let's start sewing the pillowcase. Fold the fabric with the wrong side, as shown in the diagram above, and sew the side edges on sewing machine... Trim the allowances and again sew the edges to the width of the machine's foot. Now you can turn the pillowcase right out.

After sewing the bed linen, wash and iron it again.

And one more piece of advice for mothers who have decided to sew bedding for their baby on their own.

Do not use buttons and snakes or any other decor for a baby bed. Bed linen for a child should be comfortable, and the main thing is to comply with all norms for the proper development and health of your long-awaited baby.

In preparation for the appearance of a baby in the house, you can not only stock up on diapers (I have already told you how to sew diapers), but also many other useful things. This list also includes bed linen for a newborn (as well as bumpers (bumpers) for the crib and, in some cases, a canopy).

Is it profitable to sew bedding for a newborn?

The answer to this question will depend on whether you know where to buy fabrics inexpensively. For example, in the store where I bought, a meter of coarse calico 150 cm wide cost 75 rubles. Fabric consumption for a set of linen is 4 meters. Total - 300 rubles... In the same store, you could buy a complete ready-made kit for 360 rubles. That is, there was practically no benefit, since I spent additional time on sewing. But, for example, in another store I saw a children's kit already for 550 rubles.

The benefit may not be material, but in terms of the exact satisfaction of your requests and wishes (for example, in the color of the material, in cutting, etc.). The duvet cover in the stock sets had a hole in the middle. I wanted the hole to be on the side. The fact is that I wanted to have a universal duvet cover both for a bike blanket measuring 100 * 140, and for a warm blanket with a size of 110 * 140, but the bike blanket was nondescript, there was no need to "put it on display."

So, if you nevertheless decided to sew bedding for a newborn, then you will be interested in the question about the fabric and its consumption.

Consumption and type of fabric for a set of bedding

Convenient to sew linen into a crib for a newborn from coarse calico 150 cm wide... The wider version (220 cm) is less suitable, since the details of the pattern are not placed quite optimally.

Someone prefers to sew from satin, as usual "adult" underwear.

First of all, you should focus on the size of the mattress of the crib and blanket. Standard mattress dimensions 60 * 120, but it comes in different thicknesses. The thickness should be taken into account so that it is convenient to fold the sheet under the mattress and it does not crumple. Standard size sheets in the baby kit - 147 * 112cm... The same dimensions for the duvet cover.

As for the pillowcase. For the first time, you will not need it at all, since you will not need a pillow - the baby should lie on a flat surface. But you can buy material with the expectation of a pillowcase (even two) - plus about 50 cm.

As a result, we consider: 120 (sheet) + 230 (duvet cover) + 50 (pillowcases) \u003d 4 meters... But you need to buy with a margin so that it will last after shrinkage during washing. I took 4.5 meters. Half a meter "in stock" is not so much, it is better to play it safe. Yes, the material remained. But any housewife will find a use for it. For example, I sewed from it many different useful gizmos for the baby:, etc ..

If you are just starting to collect a dowry for a newborn, and you are not going to buy anything ready-made except for a mattress in the crib, then you can add another sides... For sides with a height of 30 cm (at the sides and at the legs) and 40 cm (at the head), taking into account the shrinkage of the fabric, you will need: (62 * 2 + 32 + 42) * 1.05 \u003d 208 cm. Instructions for sewing the sides.

Description of work

So, first we measure from a piece of fabric 120 cm by sheet, hem the edges. Do you hem the edges where the fabric has an edge? Optional. I sewed the first set (and I need at least 2 sets), but I didn’t use the second - I don’t see the difference.

Duvet cover. Cut off 230 cm with a width of 150 cm, fold in half. We sew the top and bottom seams (you can use a linen seam, or you can use a simple one), overcast (with a zigzag or overlock). In the middle, in the side seam, measure the distance for the hole. You can leave a third of the length, that is, 50 cm. Sew and overcast the side seams to the hole. Sew trims to the halves of the hole or just gently bend them.

The photo shows the turning process:

1. We cut out the edging approximately 3 cm wide. We overcast its edges.
2. Sew it on to the main part, applying it "face to face". We bend it back, iron it out.
3. We bend the facing inward, iron it, lay a seam.

That's it, the set (main items) of bedding for the newborn crib is ready. Although, this is not just for a newborn. The linen will be relevant while the baby sleeps in his first crib (up to about 3 years old).

Pillowcases. Pillowcases in advance - before buying a pillow - it is better not to sew. As the size of the pillow may vary.

Happy sewing! And don't forget that at least 2 kits are required plus an arsenal of diapers (which you probably stocked up first).
