Pattern

The pattern of a sheet with elastic bands for a crib will depend on the dimensions of the purchased mattress. To carry out the necessary calculations, the height, width and length of the bed are used. To take the necessary measurements you will need a centimeter. Using the calculated parameters, a pattern is made according to which a children's sheet with an elastic band will be sewn. Please note that some materials, such as flannel, will shrink slightly after washing. To create a new bedroom set yourself, you should transfer the picture to paper. The pattern can be made on paper or directly on fabric. For seams, an allowance of 0.5 cm is made on each side. The elastic is pulled through the drawstring, to which 1.5 cm is allocated.

Step-by-step instruction

Before starting the step-by-step sewing of a children's sheet with an elastic band, the selected material is washed, dried and ironed.

Manipulations should be divided into separate stages:

1. To make a pattern, tracing paper or paper is used. The dimensions of the mattress used are pre-calculated. The allowance for children's products will be 10 cm or more.
2. The resulting figures are cut out. A square of the appropriate size is made from a rectangle on cardboard.
3. After the edges of the square are sewn, an envelope is formed.
4. The edges are processed with overlock or edging tape, which will add aesthetics to the idea.
5. Bends are made along the perimeter of the product using an iron.
6. The edges are stitched, except for the areas reserved for threading the elastic.
7. The elastic straightens out at the edges.

To attach the elastic, several methods can be used simultaneously:

• the seam is made along the entire perimeter, after threading the elastic, the ends are fastened manually in the hole left;
• An elastic band is sewn to the folded edges of the product.

Oval sheet with elastic

To sew a round (oval) sheet with an elastic band for a baby crib with dimensions of 125x75 cm and 8 cm in height, you will need a piece of fabric 130x80 cm or more. In addition to making the pattern yourself, you will need to sew it and save 5 cm of material for the seam allowance.

1. The right side of the material is folded in half. Measured on the short side 40 cm and on the long side 130 cm.
2. The material is refolded and the corners are rounded so that the diameter is 40 cm or more. To do this, you will need to measure 24 cm on both sides of the corners.
3. Corners are being cut.
4. To make the facing, you will need a piece of fabric 20 cm wide. The length will coincide with the length of the previously made part. 130+80+130+80=420 cm.
5. Stripes are cut out.
6. The strips are folded right sides inward and stitched. Do not forget about the allowance of 0.5 cm. This will create a linen seam.
7. The threads are cut.
8. The facing is sewn to the first element.
9. The products are folded with their front sides facing each other. Sewing should start from the edge of the cut and along the entire perimeter.
10. The seams are processed to prevent the fabric from unraveling.
11. To make a drawstring, you will need to turn the edge of the facing by 0.5 cm and 1 cm.
12. The drawstring is worn out. The hole left for the elastic will be 1 cm in size. The length of the elastic is half as long as the perimeter of the facing.
13. A pin is used to pull the elastic through.

What's included in the newborn kits?

The birth of a child is a wonderful event in the life of every family. We try to give children the best: toys, clothes, entertainment. But it is very important from childhood that the baby is surrounded by natural fabrics that will not irritate his delicate skin. Cotton fully satisfies all these requirements, being a hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly material. It is important that all bedding sets for newborns are stitched with a linen seam and do not rub the delicate skin of the baby. Linen must comply with all sanitary and hygienic standards.

Artificial fillers

Fillings for children's pillows can be of synthetic origin, because... these materials have a number of advantages over natural ones

Latex

A latex product is expensive, but its advantages include firmness and elasticity, hypoallergenicity, and hygiene. It allows air to pass through well and is durable in use.

Foam rubber and synthetic winterizer

These materials do not cause allergies, are easy to care for, but over time they lose their volume; moreover, they quickly heat up and are poorly ventilated, causing excessive sweating in the child.

Polyurethane foam

This synthetic filler has the following advantages:

• hypoallergenic
• low cost
• elasticity and resilience.

The disadvantages of PP include:

• limited service life;
• destruction under the influence of direct sunlight;
• absorption and accumulation of moisture;
• the need for special cleaning.

Holofiber

Products with holofiber have good elasticity and rigidity with a sufficient amount of filler. It has a low cost, is easy to wash and dry, and does not harbor dust mites, so holofiber can be recommended for use in children's products.

Memoryform

This is a synthetic foam with a “memory effect” that adapts to the curves of the body, taking its shape under the influence of heat. This allows you to unload the muscles, relieve tension from them, providing comfort and an orthopedic position during night rest.



What is included in the newborn baby kit?

• blanket size 110 by 140. In summer, parents are recommended to use two blankets (thin summer blanket and long blanket). In winter, it is good to combine three blankets (one thick one based on down or camel wool and two thin ones);
• protective side so that the child does not hit or get hurt. Size 360 ​​* 36. In summer it is better to remove it so that air can flow better into the crib;
• duvet cover. Parameters: 146 by 112;
• the pillow for a newborn is always thin, and the pillowcase for it has a size of 40 * 60;
• a canopy that is supported by a mount;
• mattress cover;
• sheet. It can be regular or with an elastic band, the standard one has parameters 127*146.

Tips for choosing

To select an elastic product, simply press it with your hand. It should return to its previous shape in a few seconds. It is also worth paying attention to the material of the pillow cover; it should be made from natural materials. It is desirable to have a zipper so that you can always remove the filling and wash the cover separately, because it needs more frequent washing.

The label of a quality product will indicate recommendations for the terms of its use, which must be adhered to; it is worth reading the certificate of conformity before purchasing.

It is better not to choose bright colors of pillows, because their brightness indicates the presence of a strong coloring pigment, which can cause a negative reaction on the child’s skin. Pale blue shades are traditionally suitable for boys, pink for girls.

The right pillow can guarantee a safe and sound sleep for your child. Therefore, parents should treat their choice with special attention so that they do not have to later fight diseases that can result from incorrect position of the head and neck during sleep.

Children's bedding for kindergarten: sizes

• pillowcase (pillow case). Shape: cylinder, square, rectangle, etc. Fastened with buttons, Velcro, zippers, fasteners;
• duvet cover (a cover for a baby blanket, fastened with a zipper, buttons, Velcro; sometimes a slot is simply made on the side for inserting a blanket).

• pillowcase+sheet+duvet cover;
• duvet cover + 2 pillowcases + sheet;
• pillowcase + sheet;
• 2 sheets + pillowcase;
• two pillowcases.

Lingerie is not always sold in sets; you can buy an item and combine it with the set you like. Or buy another sheet for the set until the child learns to go to the toilet on his own. And for a baby who spits up, a bedding set with a second pillowcase would be an excellent choice.

By size

• for a crib (cradle). For babies from birth to 3 years;
• for teenage beds. The size is calculated from the dimensions of the mattress or bed; the length of the sheet will vary from 140 to 220 cm.

By type of fabric

All fabrics recommended for a children's bed are breathable and natural, so that the child does not have allergies, diaper rash or heat rash, and his sleep is comfortable.

• batiste. Thin fabric with low density, soft and delicate material, but wears out quickly;
• chintz. The thread in this fabric is thick and the weaving is sparse. Has average durability;
• calico Does not dry out for a long time and is resistant to mechanical damage;
• satin Thin threads with dense weaving. The material is pleasant to the touch, has a glossy surface and excellent wear resistance;
• flannel. Soft brushed fabric, disadvantage: rolls up quickly.

Additional equipment

DIY crib bumpers for newborns

Some bedding sets for newborns also include foam bumpers. They will become useful after 3 months of age, when the baby learns to turn from back to side and from stomach to back. The sides will protect the baby's head from hitting the bed frame.

Canopy crib

Another useful addition can be a waterproof mattress pad. It is placed under a sheet to protect the mattress from urine, loose stools and regurgitation.

Attention! Dermatologists do not recommend using waterproof mattress covers in the hot season to prevent the child’s body from rotting.

The canopy is exactly what makes a children's bedding set different from adults. There are snow-white mesh and thick fabrics from which this accessory is sewn. A light canopy resembling tulle will save a child from mosquitoes if there are no special nets on the windows. You can take it with you on a walk to cover the stroller, protecting the baby’s skin from blood-sucking and annoying insects. Products made of dense fabric are convenient to use to ensure darkness around a sleeping child. This is especially functional for one-room apartments and studio apartments, when the baby does not have his own room. If parents like to watch TV until late, its reflections will not disturb the children's sleep.
