Malmo Bodysuit Pattern for Babies 1 Month to 4 Years - Soft Cotton Infant Bodysuit for Everyday Wear & Special Occasions

Unisex bodysuit pattern.
Bodysuit with lapped shoulders or shoulder placket opening.
Long or short sleeves.
Optional pocket.
Several types of collar: crew neck, turtleneck, ruffle collar or stand-up ruffle.
Two possible finishes: elastic bias binding or ribbing.

The bodysuit could also be used as a swimsuit (in particular the long-sleeved, turtleneck version as a sun protective swimsuit). In this case use a specific swimsuit fabric for all parts and keep the crotch opening with the snaps or close this opening by sewing the front and back to the crotch together.

Pattern comes in both French and English. A full video tutorial is also available on Youtube in French with English subtitles. Tutorial for making the swimsuit version is included in the video as well.

Skill level: intermediate

What you will practice with this sewing pattern: how to finish with ribbing or with an elastic bias binding, how to sew lapped shoulders or a shoulder placket.

Material suggestions:

• compulsory stretch fabric: jersey, interlock, rib, openwork knit
• ribbing optional (if ribbing finishes)
• swim fabric is necessary for swimsuit variation
