There's a new baby in town and you want to make them something special. How about making them a handmade baby onesie? How fun would it be to be able to choose your own fabric. Plus, this project is quick and easy. After you finish, you'll be inspired to make another, because a newborn can't have too many new onesies. Along with our step by step tutorial, we also provide you with a free pattern. Please note, the size of this pattern is newborn but you can always adjust it for other sizes as well. Also, be sure to use knit fabric as it's important to be stretchy and that you prewash your fabric before cutting out your fabric. For an extra professional looking detail, we show you how to add individual snaps. Are you ready to make a newborn baby onesie now? Let's do it!

Thanks for the tutorials and free patterns. I’m on a tight budget and it’s a huge help!
The captions for this video are automatically generated by YouTube. It does not do a very good job, so that is why all other sites have problems. We have a few full pattern tutorials which have proper captions, but the vast majority of content on YouTube will have bad automatically generated CC
I want to THANK YOU for having closed caption. I can only hear a small amount so having the close caption is wonderful. Many times the words do not have anything to do with sewing. Even curse words are used. Who reviews the closed caption. Your sight is not the only one with this problem. For the hearing impaired we lose quite a bit when we are needing instructions. We are not able to see anyone face to read lips. Maybe there is some help for this problem. Thank you for the onesie pattern. I will try and print a bigger size too.
yes the seam allowance is included into the pattern.
Is the seam allowance already included?
Printing at 100% scale, or an option like, “do not scale”, it will print the actual size of what the document is. That is the correct way to get the exact size that was used in the video. Basically any scale under 100% makes it smaller, above 100% makes it bigger, exactly 100%,that is its true size. If you print at 100% then it will print just fine on a regular sheet of paper. Above 100% depending on how high you go, a single piece might now print on 2 pages. In short, if you want to make a larger onesie, try 110% scaling and try it on a few pages to see what happens. If it still fits on a single piece, then lucky you. If it prints on multiple pages for 1 pattern piece, then you need to figure out how all the pieces fit together. It can get complicated but you are trying something it was not designed to do. When you have all your paper pieces put together, I guess you can hold the pattern over the baby and see if the sizing might be better, then scale up if needed.
I am sorry but I am still confused. I have never printed out a pattern before. If I set my printer to print more than 100% how do I know what size to set my printer to to scale the pattern correctly. If I print this on a 8.5X11 piece of paper then the pattern is not scaled to newborn size correct? So how do I know how much over 100% to set my printer so that the onesie will fit a newborn?
The pattern has a little wiggle room to scale it if you wish. The video was made for newborn so increasing sizing was never tested, so you will have to kinda guess on how much larger to enlarge it. To scale it, you can look at your printer settings at time of printing it and scale it to a number above 100%. This might cause a single sheet to print onto multiple sheets. You can then cut them out and jigsaw them back together. The assembly steps should still be more or less the same.
this pattern is for a size 0-3 months? If it prints out on a 8.5X11 sheet of paper how do you scale the pattern for actual baby size 0-3 months 3-6 etc?
How much should I enlarge the pattern for older babies? I would like to make one for a 6 month baby.
