Material selection
Handmade craftswomen recommend patterns of children's jeans sundresses, make them as simple as possible, especially if you are sewing them for the first time. For work, you can use ordinary old jeans. Based on the needs of the child, you should determine the density of the material. For a more ceremonial exit, it is better to choose a thinner fabric, and in everyday wear, classic denim proved to be excellent, from which the first dense and high-quality jeans were once sewn.
Sewing preparation
Everyone has old jeans (their flared version is especially good in this case). Cutting off the top and neatly stretching the legs at the seams, we get an almost ready-made children's jeans sundress. In this case, the side seam of the pants will become a decorative finish, which will pass through the center of the front and back of the finished product. Before starting work, prepare all the necessary material in advance:
- Jeans, the size of the finished product will depend on their size, so you need to take a model for adults.
- Sharp scissors, preferably tailor-made, as they are long and capable of cutting thick double stitches.
- Buttons and strong threads in the color of the product.
- Decorative elements - beads, shreds of bright fabric, lace or rhinestones.
Simple model
You can make a children's jeans sundress with your own hands using the simplest pattern for an apron. The classic model of our product is very similar to it in style.
- Prepare the jeans, separate their upper part with sharp scissors.
- Spread the remaining legs at the seams, you get two straight or slightly flared rectangles to the bottom (depending on the model of trousers - classic or flared).
- First you need to grind them to get a solid canvas.
- Now spread it on a flat surface and proceed to cutting (the width of the product corresponds to the circumference of the child’s waist + allowances for the seam, the length is measured from the chest taking into account future straps).
- The cut product in shape should resemble an ordinary kitchen apron. Undercut if necessary. Now you can proceed to the general assembly of the sundress.
- Jeans do not require mandatory processing of the extreme seams and, if desired, they can be left open.
- From the rest of the fabric, make the straps by stitching long strips of material with a finishing seam and sweeping them in the right places to the product. Fasten them with buttons.
- Do not forget about the periodic fitting, which will make the children's jeans sundress as convenient as possible. If necessary, adjust it in some places.
- If everything is fine and the child approved the quality of tailoring, you can proceed to its design.
Two-sided sundress
This similar model is simple in its execution, suitable for novice craftswomen, but has its own highlight - the opposite bright side. For work, we will need all of the above materials and a piece of motley multi-colored chintz.
- Prepare jeans, peel, grind at the seams. Be sure to keep the decorative seam on the front of the product.
- Make a pattern in the form of an apron made of denim and exactly the same of chintz.
- Connect the parts together by laying one on the other and grinding them along the edges. It will turn out a two-sided product, which must be sewn with a neat double seam on the back.
- Chintz is distinguished by its "flowability", so the edges of such a sarafan require mandatory processing.
- It remains to sew straps on it and decorate it with decorative details.
Finishing and Accessories
Children's jeans sundresses (photo options are presented above) are universal in every way. They can be supplemented with comfortable pockets (pre-repulse them from jeans), decorate with a bright border around the edge of the hem or embroider the straps with beads. Bright fabric flowers that are easy to make on your own look very good on such products.
- Prepare some paper stencils in the shape of flowers of different sizes.
- Attach them to the fabric, fasten with pins and cut along the edge.
- Put the parts on top of each other, fasten them with a beautiful decorative bead.
The more patterns there are, the more magnificent the final result will be. It remains to sew a flower to our product in the right place. Such an original design sundress will be an ideal walking option and one of the most beloved things of the child, which he will not want to change to another.
