Tid for babybukser

Minstejenta, snart 9 månader gamal, har fått to nye bukser. Og eg har fått teste babybukse-kapittelet i Aldrich-boka. Éi bukse i slim fit, og éi i loose fit. Begge buksene er fleksible i lengda både oppe og nede, så dei kan brukast lenge.

Stoff: Mønstrete jersey frå Ixat på Etsy, nedst er det campan frå Hilco, ribb frå Stoff og Stil. I den andre buksa er det lilla velour (bileta lyg om fargen) frå enten Stofstedet.dk eller stofogstuff.dk. Lime velour frå Stoff og Stil. Detaljane er av eit mønstra, vevd bomullsstoff frå Stoff og Stil, kanta med foldover elastic frå Ebay. Ribb frå Stoff og Stil. Den søte bodyen er det ikkje eg som har sydd, men er ein ullbody frå Joha/Janus.

Ribben på båe buksene er 7,5 cm brei og 80% av livvidda (mål på ferdig ribb-kant)

Om mønsterkonstruksjonen, for spesielt interesserte (og for hugselapp for meg sjølv)…
Comments on the pattern drafting:
Both patterns are made with help from page 28 in Aldrich, 4th edition; “The ‘flat’ trouser blocks – babywear”; “The one-piece trouser block”.

First, I noted that body rise figures in Aldrich are quite a lot smaller than the swedish figures in “Søm” by Rigmor Haugsand. Body rise in Aldrich, size 72: 12,8 cm. Haugsand, size 74: 15,5 cm. The figures do not differ that much in the children’s sizes as in the babies’ sizes.

The leggings shape is body rise +1 cm, not much to include a nappie. The 7,5 cm wide rib waist band starts 3 cm below waist. It works, but I think a little bit more than +1 is needed. Alternatively, one could rise the top of the back crotch-seam a couple of cm, because I think it is to low. The picture above doesn’t show it very well. The ancle cuffs are made from single jersey fabric, and reaches down to about 1 cm above floor level, works well.

The easy-fitting shape is body rise + 4,5 cm. The waist band starts 4 cm below waist, except center back, where I elongated the crotch seam a little over 1 cm based on the slim fit trousers. Still, when looking at the photo, the back crotch seam is a little too short compared to the front. Seen with my amateur eyes…

I know, I’m a hairsplitter now, these are details that aren’t very important, the garments work, and… But, if there will be a next time…

By the way, the easy-fitiing trousers have full length plus cuffs, so that the child can use the trousers for a looong time. But I used cuff circumference 18 cm, and that turned out to be too wide, the cuff passes the ancle too easily. (My mistake, not Aldrich ;-)
