Hi, want to make an wraparoundbody? The free pattern is downloaded from here. You have to purchase it, but its free of charge. If you make this so please link back to this blog as a thank you It is a little work to make a tutorial. This body is in European size 62 (1-3 month) because it is just little babies who use a wraparound(to avoid putting it over the head). You don’t have to use a overlock and cover like I did here, but it sure makes it a lot faster of course. The pattern is including a 1/2 cm seamallowance in the sleeves, sholders and sides. The other edges have fabricedges (is this the correct name?)
PS: A sample of this body is a giveaway this month, check it out in the next post
What you need:
- 1/4 meter jersey/inerlock
- Ribb/Interlock to the fabricedges
- Sewingmachine
- Jersey-pressonbuttons
Cut out all the pieces:
Then you sew together the shoulder seams. Make sure you add the correct section of each pice directly against eachother.
Cut out a 4 cm strip to make the edges.
Sewing the strip on with my cover. Up the one side, the neck and down the other side. If you just have an regular sewingmacine you can sew it on like biastape but stretch it when you sew it on the first time along the edges.
What it will look like when you are done:
Edge the bottompiece
Sew the shoulder seam:
And edge the other sleeves. (If you rather want to sew it up, remember to add this in the sleevepattern) Then you end up like this picture:
Now, make this: Fold the fabric pieces together and sew around, or pull out if you don’t have overlock. Make 3 pieces. These will sit in the side seams as reinforcement where you insert pressonbuttons on the inside.
Pin them onto the wraps as shown here. 2 pieces on the inner wrap ..
..and one on the outer wrap.
Sew the side seams and sideseams on the sleeves at once. (Do not sew all the way out on the edge, starting and stopping about 2cm from both ends)
And now a little trick with the fabricedges. Sew straightstitch by starting at the seam that is almost completed, and sew along the edges. (Black threads here) Pin together just to make sure it will not move when you sew.
Then you fold edges to each side and sew two seams from the front side.
Look like this:
Now cut away the excess edges. Voila now you have a good ending that not makes a big lump in the sleeves and they doesn’t meet skewed at eachother, which it often does because it is so thick there. If you sew with a regular machine, you can of course sew all the way at once and do the same.
Turn the innside out and tadaaa you have made a wraparound body. Now just have to put in a lot of presson buttons, but I expect that I don’t need to explain that:)

[…] Nefertari shares a free pattern and tutorial for making this wrap-around onesie. The onesie is shaped so that you don’t have to pull anything over baby’s head. I wish we had these when my girl was a baby! The pattern is a European size 62, which I believe corresponds roughly with a 3-6 month size. If you wanted to make a larger or smaller wrap-around onesie, I’m sure you could adjust the size using one of your child’s onesies as a guide. Go to the free pattern and tutorial. […]
Thank you very much! I really enjoy your tutorial, it´s the next thing in my list
Wow, your baby onsie wraparound pattern is fabulous! I am having trouble trying to download your pattern
I am blocked by spam ads. Help.
On the downloadpage, go to bottom/end of page and wait 10 seconds, it counts down and then a link appear. OK?
I’d love to download your pattern but there’s something wrong with the pdf file.It cannot be open.Yes,I was able to download it but I cannot open it.
Try to open it on a another computer? Can you open pdfs normally? I’ve changed the downloadpage and uploadet it again. No it shold open in your bowser and you can save from there, does that help?
Thank you for the great story, even though it did take quite a long time to complete reading. (English is not my first tongue) Can I ask where you get your sources from? Thanks!
Do you mean my sewing sources, maybe you can read my story? english is my second language but I use google translate a lot and a some practice are always good for me too
I admire what you might have carried out listed here. I like the part where you say you might be undertaking this to provide again but I would presume by all of the comments that this really is working to suit your needs too.
Vilken trevlig tutorial! Och tack för mönstret. Tipset om hur man får snygga ärmar efter bandkantningen var super!
bare hyggelig!
Hej! Vilken bra beskrivning och tack för mönstret!
Hej igen!
Nu har jag sytt en body efter mönstret (fast jag tror att jag satte knäppningen åt fel håll!). Om du vill se finns den på min blogg i slutet av veckan.
Tack än en gång!
fort gjort å sette knapper litt feil. lønner seg å markere med tusj når de er brettet overhverandre. Gleder meg til å se
Tusen tack för mönstret och fram för allt för instruktionen hur man gör. Jag är nämligen nybörjare. Meddelar hur det går. Tack!
Så gøy da
Du får det sikkert til 
Tusen takk for en flott tutorial. Har vridd hodet mang en gang for å finne ut hvordan å få kantebåndene fine og her snublet jeg over en fabelaktig steg-for-steg forklaring. Tror jeg må prøve meg på en slik.
bare hyggelig
Tack igen för mönstret, verkligen stort tack. Tack också för instruktionen, tycker att ditt sätt att sy med raksöm istället för overlocken är superbra. Har sytt 3st omlott bodies nu. Har gett bort en och den passade perfekt. De andra två ska användas när vår bebis kommer i dec. Vänliga hälsningar!
tusen takk for tilbakemelding. veldig hyggelig når jeg får tilbakemeldinger på det jeg deler

Nice Tutorial and great work
Bye
Hi! Great pattern! Can’t wait to make it. I just have a quick question, do you put the buttons on around the crotch of the onesie so it closes there too? Or does it stay open? I’m hoping to make some of these for a friend of mine who is a mommy to be and I’m afraid I know next to nothing about infants and their garments… :/
yes around the crotch too
If you see here http://epla.no/handlaget/produkter/115970/ you can se were I put the buttons

I’m probably blind… but don’t see a link to the pattern…
yes you are
is it in the first sentence . the word “here” 
Thanks! I knew that I had found it in the past… I’ll blame it on tired eyes from sewing. Looking forward to trying this out.
I love this tutorial – have already made 2 of these wraps. I hope you don’t mind that I have shared it on my Pinterest board (http://pinterest.com/eddieduckling/creating-for-baby/).
thank you for sharing. love to hear that
I plan to make some more sizes.
Så fin body!:) Er helt nybegynner på sying, så tviler på at dette er noe jeg kan få til med det første, men har lasta ned mønsteret og håper på å tørre å gi meg inn på dette prosjektet en vakker dag
Tusen takk for tutorial!
Hi I love and so wanne do this. My son is already on European 74. Is there a chance to adjust your downloads to this size? How can I do this?
Thanks for your reply!
Anne
I will make it in other sizes soon
soon in other sizes
Hej!
Åh vilken bra tut och mönster!
Jag skulle också vilja sy en body i storlek 74. Kan jag ändra mönstret själv eller kommer du lägga ut fler storlekar här?
Tack på förhand!
det kommer snart i flere størrelser og mønstret er oppgradert til en bedre versjon
Thank you for your pattern. I made one and also modified your pattern a little bit to make others. Great work. THank you again.

Hello,
I first want to thank you for posting this pattern and directions, it’s very nice of you to help out and teach us, I really want to make this for my best friend’s baby girl. She is now 5 months but will soon be already 6 months. Can you tell me what adjustments I need to make to this pattern?
Thanks for your time,
Ravit

Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. I have a nephew on his way (October) and I remembered seeing a wrap-around onesie at a baby shower. I haven’t seen one since nor have I found a pattern…until now!
Also, I really like the way you drew the pattern so it only takes two pages to print. I trace my patterns onto tear-away stabilizer (just because I have a great big roll of it) so 30-60 page patterns seem like a such a waste!

Muchas gracias!!! tengo una bebe!! espero poder hacerle esta ropita!!
Your onesie is beautiful. I cut the pattern but I ask you a question. How long for the band?
Excuse my English is not very good
thank you goodbye

Tack snälla för mönstret, jag fick leta väldigt länge och blev såå glad när jag hittade din sida och att du ville dela med dig. Nu ska jag försöka sy en söt body till bebisen i magen!
Hei
Takk for fantastisk mønster og fremgangsmåte, ble veldig bra resultat! Har du laget / tenkt å lage flere størrelser av mønsteret? Skulle gjerne hatt både mindre og større

Hei!
Har nettopp sydd bodyen og selv om jeg aldri har sydd med jerseystoff før så ble den ble kjempefin, tusen takk! Jeg ser av kommentarene at du har tenkt å legge ut i andre størrelser også, er det lov å spørre om når det kommer? Jeg skulle gjerne sydd denne fine bodyen i både mindre og større jeg
