lullaby layette set sewing pattern
  • Every baby needs a cute, comfortable layette set. These pieces work together to create a darling wardrobe for little ones up to 24 months. The bodysuit and shirt can be made with short or long sleeves and include a snap placket and pleats at the front and back. The bodysuit has elasticized leg openings and a snap placket for easy changes. The elasticized pull-on pants have a roomy fit and are quick to sew. And the reversible jacket features raglan sleeves and a snap closure.

    Skills Used

    Each of our patterns calls on a unique set of sewing skills. Haven't ever done one of these things before? Don't worry. We'll walk you through it, step by step.

    After successfully sewing this pattern, you will have developed the following skills: bias binding, darts, partial placket, pleats, curved seams.

    Suggested Fabrics

    Light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, voile, lawn, shirting, poplin, broadcloth, and linen. You can also use knits for the main fabrics, but we recommend lightweight woven fabrics for the bodysuit placket and bias binding and for the jacket bias binding.

      Layette jacket
    Reviewed by Cheryl ( Verified Buyer) on 03/24/2022
    This pattern was amazing. Very good fit for the sizes and easy directions. I’ve already made 5 jackets in different sizes for my grandchildren. Love this pattern.

      Cute
    Reviewed by Ginger on 09/22/2021
    I have only made the bubble so far but it is very cute and unique. Instructions were pretty good though it took me a minute to figure out the placket. Drawings could be a little better. I read through all instructions as suggested before construction, but I found that confusing (and I am not a beginner). I did better once I just followed along step by step, not looking ahead, and just trusting the process. I used buttons on the front instead of snaps so I did increase the width of the front placket by 1/4”. The only thing I would change in the future is I would do the crotch piece a little differently to where it is completely enclosed over the ends of the elastic. I will definitely be making this again!

    After 50+ years of sewing, I I found this pattern had a lot to teach me. I learned a new method of gathering to a clean way to anchor stitches. The directions are clear and complete. (It even reminds you to remove basting stitches.) I can't wait to make more.

      Sweet baby pattern
    Reviewed by Gayatri ( Verified Buyer) on 02/19/2018
    I just finished the jacket using a bamboo knit/double gauze type fabric and it's such a fun little garment to sew! I didn't use a lining as the fabric is quite heavy. I finished the jacket with a bias binding. It was a fast and straightforward project, and I'm hoping to find time to sew the other items for a friend's baby due in June!

      Loving this pattern
    Reviewed by Frances Bell ( Verified Buyer) on 09/26/2017
    I bought this pattern to make items for my first grandchild due in December 2017. I printed it all out and taped it together. In the mean time I decided to make 3 sets of the trousers for triplet grandchildren of a friend. As the fabric is quite thin, I have lined them with cotton jersey and they look good. Appreciate the extra width in the back to accommodate the nappy. The plan is the have turnups instead of hems and I am wishing I had added a bit to the length. Will do that next time.

      Lovely simple patterns
    Reviewed by Clare ( Verified Buyer) on 09/20/2017
    I've made all the designs in the set and am delighted with all of them. One point, in the illustrations for the jacket: if these could distinguish between the lining and the main fabric in the picture where they are first joined, it would save some late night head scratching for the spatially challenged. Otherwise very clear and I will use these patterns many times.

    I've made the pants, two onesies, and am in the middle of the jacket. They have been a lot of fun to make and the finished pieces look great! I slightly modified the second onesie to add bias to the sleeve and looks great. I plan to make a second jacket using a flannel, will be interested to see how it works with fabrics other than quilting cotton.

    I love making these as a set to give as a newborn baby gift. It's fun to use up leftover fabric and match different prints and solids for each set. I could just keep on making this pattern repeatedly because the finished product is so satisfying!

    I made the bodysuits and jackets in liberty and double gauze (jacket lining) as wedding outfits for my twins- they came out beautifully. I also made the pants and they are quite big/high- which is a bit odd since the smallest sizes of jackets and onesie fit perfectly- probably a better fit on older babies or those with cloth diapers. Still, Oliver and S patterns are the best and you always learn something new!

      Beautiful pattern!
    Reviewed by Barbara Crisp ( Verified Buyer) on 02/04/2017
    I made the bodysuit with a matching jacket as a baby shower gift and then, just for fun, I made another bodysuit using some upcycled cotton lawn from an old sundress. So fun to make, with such clear instructions. Rather like having a nice sewing teacher sitting with you while you sew. I used Liberty cotton for the bodysuit/jacket lining and a little piece of Cone Mills stretch denim from the stash for the outer jacket. Wonderful pattern!

    I had been looking for an infant jacket pattern with raglan sleeves and was so happy to find this one! So far I've made the jacket and plan to make matching pants. I made the jacket with heavier material than called for - a brushed fabric on the outside and fleece on the inside - and it came out great! No problems at all with heavier fabric. Looking forward to making the pants and trying other patterns in the future.

      A perfect addition to the O+S family, and yours!
    Reviewed by Nicole on 05/23/2015
    I cannot say how delighted I was when this pattern was released, being 12 weeks pregnant at the time. There are a lot of knit romper patterns available (very hard to get a professional look with knit) there are a lot of traditional baby rompers available ( lots of smocking, very bloomy) but this is the perfect mix of both. It sews up in a woven, thus enabling great results, but it is not too puffy so it is very suitable for sweet baby girls or boys. The tab front makes dressing wiggly babies a breeze and the trousers easily cover a cloth nappy, no need to size up. I think the blouse could use a extra inch length added, but that is just my personal taste. The jacket is fab, one of those Rock Star projects, when you think 'I made that'? Perfect for gifts, perfect for your baby. Just perfect.

    This is my go-to pattern for all of the babies in my life. I absolutely LOVE the jacket. it is a piece of cake to make and can be made with the binding or without. The pants are perfect and cozy. They are loose enough that they would be comfortable lined with fleece or flannel for warmth. The seems on the pants are really cute and different, as they do not sit on the sides, but rather more toward the front. Instructions are detailed and perfect as always. The onesie and blouse are added pieces to create a lovely layette.

  • Errata

    1. There was a minor error in the first printing of the instructions for this pattern. On the first page of the instructions, step 1 under Getting Started should begin, "For View A only, cut...."
    2. In the first and second printings of the instructions, there was an error in the finished measurement chart. The row for Bodysuit Length should read as follows:

      Size 0-3 M 3-6 M 6-12 M 12-18 M 18-24 M
      Bodysuit Length 14" 15 1/2" 17" 18 1/2" 20"

     

    Determining Which Printing You Have

    As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers.

    The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.

    Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
