Material selection

Experienced craftsmen recommend paying special attention to the choice of fabric that we will use to create the pattern, cut and sew the product under study. Most beginning craftsmen prefer linen; some even work with silk or satin. Although both professional seamstresses and church ministers agree that the most suitable material for sewing a baptismal shirt for a boy, as well as a baptismal dress for a girl, is cotton. The most common white cotton. However, this does not mean that the finished product will be too simple and ordinary. With a creative approach, it will be possible to transform it into a true masterpiece. More on this later.

Bodice

The photo clearly shows how to remove the pattern from the finished product; in particular, we only need the bodice. Remove the front, back and sleeves. Don't forget to leave 05.-1 cm for allowances. In the photo below, about 2.5 cm was added on the back of the dress in the center for fasteners.

Removing the pattern from the dress

Cut out the bodice pieces from the main fabric and lining. We sew two parts of the back and front of the bodice (satin parts) on the sides and shoulders. We do the same with the lining details.

Bodice

Now we connect the bodice parts from satin and lining. Place them together, pin them along the neckline and on both sides, as in the photo below. Sew the pieces together (0.5cm seam allowance). If you did not use an overlocker, but a zigzag stitch, then you will need to cut off the excess allowances. Turn the bodice inside out and straighten out all the corners. If necessary, there will be excess fabric here and there in the corners, turn the bodice inside out and cut off more allowances.

Now you need to remove the pattern from the sleeve. In the photo, the sleeve is gathered, so it’s not so easy to remove the pattern; below you can see what the author of MK did. Don’t forget to also add 0.5 cm to the allowances. We make a basting along the top and bottom of the sleeve. We gather the sleeve to the desired size, but do not forget to leave a little allowance.

Removing the pattern from the sleeve

Making a sleeve

Cut a strip of satin the same length as the lower section of the sleeve, the width is optional, the author of MK has a width of 3 cm. Attach the strip to the lower section of the sleeve with the right side to the wrong side of the sleeve. Sew the strip to the sleeve. Allowance = 0.5 cm. Then trim off the excess fabric so that the strip is not too thick when folded later.

Turn the sleeve over, fold the strip twice and pin it together. Place a line. Fold the sleeve in half and sew the edges. Repeat the same with the other sleeve.

Insert the sleeves into the armholes, matching the seams on the sleeve and on the sides of the dress. The basting that was made earlier will help you adjust the sleeve to the size of the armhole. Sew on the sleeves.

Insert sleeves into armholes

Make several buttonholes on the back. Sew buttons and fasten. The author of MK did not have buttons at the time of sewing, so the back was simply pinned together with pins.

The bodice is ready

How to sew a christening shirt for a boy or girl

A product for a boy or a girl differs only in the type of finish. Below is how to sew a baptismal shirt with your own hands.

The first step is to take measurements.

What to measure:

• ½ neck;
• ½ chest;
• shoulder girth;
• sleeve length;
• shirt length (depending on the child’s height).

Choice of style

The style should be such that the child feels free in the product, and movements are not constrained.

The color of the shirt is most often white or cream - this symbolizes the innocence of the child. After the baby is lowered into the water, it is necessary to wear a shirt or kryzhma; here the choice is made by the parents themselves. Below is how to make a pattern for a baby boy's christening shirt.

Constructing a pattern

Step-by-step sketching process:

• The drawing is based on the sleeve; to draw it, you need to measure the half-circumference of the arm and make allowances for freedom of movement. It is also necessary to measure the length of the sleeve and indicate it in the picture;
• Draw a sketch of the back and front in the middle. To do this, measure the half-circumference of the baby’s chest and add about 10 centimeters to the measurement;
• Mark the sleeves on the wrong side with a smooth line;
• Next you need to draw a neck section for the product. In the center of the shelf, set aside an amount equal to 1/4 of the neck circumference + 3 cm on both sides from the middle mark of the product. Draw a smooth line.

What is a christening shirt

The baptismal shirt is the first piece of clothing that a child is dressed in after the baptism procedure. According to the rules, such a shirt should be long and light-colored, mainly made from natural fabrics. Traditionally, the shirt is provided by the godparents.

Attention! There is a special pointer on the screw handle that helps the craftswoman find the correct grip, thread management, finding the tongue slot, etc.
