Measurements
It's not usually necessary to take full measurements for
baby clothes. A
picture
instructing the measuring is included for cases when custom measurements
are required.
First, the macro asks you to choose a standard size based
on your baby's height. You have to choose a size even if you plan to type
in custom measurements. Select the choice that is closest to your
subject's height. The next dialog box shows you the standard measurements
for that height. (Some of the macros have two dialog boxes for measurements.)
To accept these measurements, just click the "OK" button.
If you want to use custom measurements instead, enter the correct numbers
and then click "OK".
Ease
We do not include an ease chart for the babies' garments
because it should not be necessary to adjust ease much for babies' clothing.
Baby clothes are deliberately designed for a loose fit. Some macros
give you a choice of "Normal" or "Wide" ease, and
some select the ease automatically. Wide eases are for garments
with very loose fit, or for outer garments that are to be worn over other
clothes. Enter the correct measurements, and the macro will add
the ease.
Sewing a T-shirt
Check that waist, neck and cuff ribbings are of suitable
length. The correct length depends on how elastic the ribbing fabric
is.
WS= nurja puoli
RS = oikea puoli

(Picture 1). Join sleeves to shell, right sides together (Picture 2).
Overlock. Sew sleeve seam and side seam continuously from sleeve
cuff to shell hem, right sides together (Picture 3). Overlock.
Sew ends of waist ribbing together, to form a ring.
Fold lengthwise in two, wrong side inside. Divide the circumference
of the ring into four equal parts and mark them with pins through both
layers on the cut edges. Do the same with the bottom of the shell.
Then pin together corresponding marks and stitch (Picture 4), stretching
the ribbing to fit. Shell should be inside out now, and the
ribbing is inside it. Sew and overlock. Attach neck and cuff
ribbings in the same way.
Sewing a dress

front. Variations can use buttons or a back closure (zipper or buttons).
