Hello everyone, welcome back to another video. Today I'm going to tell you about a baby top
with a pad. I made this dress for a 5 to 6 year old baby. If you're new to the channel,

So, let's start today's video. To make the baby top and pad, I took 1 and a half meters of white
cotton fabric. First, we'll make the baby top. These three pieces are for the top,
each measuring 17 inches wide and 19 inches long. We'll fold the fabric from the center.
We'll mark the shoulder by 5 inches, the armhole by 6 inches, the chest by 7 inches,
the waistline by 4 inches, and the waistline by 6 and a half inches.
Now, we'll join the chest and waistline. We'll join the waistline to the bottom.
We'll mark the neck width by 2.5 inches, the back neck depth by 1 inch, and the front neck
depth by 3 inches. Then, mark both necks in circles. Mark the armholes in circles.
Mark the waist in a slight circle. After this, cut the fabric from the marked spot.
Cut a little fabric directly from the shoulder. Now, mark a slight curve from the bottom to the
side. Then, cut. Now, separate the three pieces. Remove one piece for the back. These two pieces
are for the front. Mark the neck in a circle. Then, cut. Now, open both pieces. On one side,
mark 3 inches from the waist. On the other side, mark 8 inches at the bottom.
Then, join both marks. Now, align the waist mark with the neck. Cut the fabric from the marked spot.
Remove the side piece that was cut. These two pieces are for the front piece.
Now, take one piece and mark straight from the waist. Cut the fabric from the marked spot.
Now, remove the bottom piece. These two pieces are for the front piece.
Now, on the side piece, we'll mark 2 inches from the armhole. We'll mark 3 inches below.
Then, join the two marks in the shape I've chosen. Cut the fabric from the marked point.
The top is already cut and ready for stitching. Now, we'll attach these two pieces.
After attaching both pieces, we'll take the lining fabric.
Place the front piece on top of the fabric and cut the fabric to the same size.
Attach both pieces from the center and the armhole. Make small cuts at the armholes.
After making the cuts, turn the right side. Take fabric that's 3 and a half inches wide
and 3 inches long. Fold the fabric and stitch it on both sides. Turn the right side inward.
Pull out the corners on both sides. Mark 1.5 inches from the waist.
Attach the fabric that we just stitched from this mark.
Take the second piece for the front piece. Then, cut the lining fabric to the same size.
Then, attach both pieces to the center and armholes.
After attaching both pieces, make small cuts at the armholes. Then, turn the right side.
Now, take the fabric for the bottom piece. Mark 8 inches. Cut the fabric from where you marked.
The width of the fabric is 27 inches. Now, we will place pleats on this fabric.
Now, stitch the border from one side. Now, attach the top and bottom pieces.
Cut off the remaining extra fabric from the bottom piece.
Now, attach both pieces of the second front piece to the bottom.
After attaching them to the bottom, turn the right side in.
Now, take the back piece and stitch the back neck and armholes.
I stitched them straight in. You can also stitch them using a strip.
Next, attach both pieces to the shoulders. Now, attach both pieces to the sides.
After attaching them to both sides, turn the right side in. Now, stitch the border.
Now, we'll make buttonholes on the front and attach the buttons.
After this, the top will be stitched completely.
Now, we'll cut the baby pants. These are two pieces for the pants,
measuring 27 inches long and 19 inches wide. Fold the fabric from the center.
Mark the crotch length at 9 1⁄2 inches, the width at 1 1⁄2 inches, and the bottom at 7 inches.
Then, align this mark with the crotch length and circle the crotch length.
Then, cut the fabric from the marked area. Attach both pieces to the crotch length.
Stitch from the bottom. Stitch the other side in the same manner.
Then, attach the sides. After stitching both sides, turn the right side.
Now, take elastic for the pants, which is 18 inches long. Attach both ends of the elastic.
Place the elastic inside the fabric. Fold the fabric and sew from the top.
Be careful not to stitch on the elastic. Fold the fabric,
stretch the elastic, and then stitch it. After this, the stitching of the pants will be complete.
