Little Girl Bloomers Sewing Pattern

When my daughter was a baby, I loved looking for vintage inspired dresses and nightgowns. I loved the long and flowy dresses. As she grew, she loved picking nightgowns over pajamas sets.

This didn't bother me. I love making her nightgowns like our Sleepyhead Nightgown or the Jean and Jamey Jammies. But my favorite nightgowns always included matching bloomers.

And those bloomers didn't stop at sleepwear. They were under dresses and tunics.

I'm always looking for ways to make her nightgowns and dresses a bit more modest. Yes, we use leggings a lot, but adding bloomers to her favorite nightgown is a nice way to add a little something.

I've had this bloomer pattern for years. In fact, it was one of my first ever, paid for sewing patterns. I've adapted it over the years and now it is ready for you to grab for free.

The bloomer pattern comes in size 3 month to 12 years. Which means, she can wear bloomers for a long time. And of course, you can use this pattern for little boys as well.

How to Sew Bloomers Pattern

Materials Needed

Bloomer Pattern (free at the end of the post, look for the peach colored button)
1/2 - 3/4 yard knit or cotton fabric
1" Elastic (see cutting chart on pattern for amount)
1/4" Elastic (see cutting chart on pattern for amount)
Matching Thread

Step 1

Place bloomers RST. Stitch curved crotch lines together.

Step 2

Hem the bottom of the bloomers by folding 3/4". Stitch down the top edge of the hem to create the elastic casing.

Step 3

Thread elastic through the casing. Stitch down one end of the elastic then pull the elastic through to the opposite side and stitch down. Repeat with other leg hem.
