Expert Opinion
The moderator of our site, an engineer-technologist of sewing production, a sewing teacher, Svetlana Khatskevich, gives our readers some more valuable tips on sewing children's things from cotton and caring for them:
Children's clothes for the little ones - babies up to a year, should be sewn only from natural cotton, and the softest. Therefore, if you sew clothes for your baby, choose high-quality and soft knitwear or fabrics without the addition of synthetics.
Shovchikov underwear for babies is generally better to do out. The skin of babies at this age is very delicate, and the seams can rub it. You can start sliders or vests immediately on a 4-thread overlock. The edges are treated with strips of the same material. It is better not to take satin finished bakes - they are tough and are produced by their synthetic materials.
Before sewing, the fabric needs to be not just printed, but wash neutral detergent! Formerly, baby soap was used for this purpose. A more modern solution is to use a special children's washing powder, such as Tide Kids.
Fabrics with the addition of synthetic materials are best used only for outerwear in children - overalls, jackets, etc. But all the same, fabrics made from natural materials are lined.
