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.

Layette jacketReviewed by Cheryl (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/24/2022This 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.Was this helpful?CuteReviewed by Ginger on 09/22/2021I 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!3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?A whole wardrobeReviewed by Catherine Szabo (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/18/2021I sewed up all four pieces for my soon-to-be-born granddaughter. I made the romper in a double gauze and the other pieces in a cotton jersey - all super cute!2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Clear instructionsReviewed by Anne Ritchie (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/04/2020This was my first dressmaking project for quite some time. I made the jacket and the trousers. The instructions were clear, the illustrations excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed making the wee clothes for our 7th grandchild, due in December.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?This pattern is amazing!Reviewed by Debra (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/03/2020After 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.2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Wondeful patternReviewed by MRS FLAVIA MOREIRA (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/07/2019Great pattern. Highly recommendedWas this helpful?Wonderful Pattern!Reviewed by Olivia (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/03/2019I Love this pattern-made a sweet layette for my little daughter. I adore Oliver and S patterns! Clear instructions, great design highly recommend!!Was this helpful?jacket is gorgeousReviewed by Zoe (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/12/2019So far I've made the jacket in a quilted cotton and linen. Such a gorgeous design, and clear and straight forward instructions. My sister remarked she'd like one in an adult size!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?AdorableReviewed by Susan (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/16/2018I just made the bodysuit in a double gauze for my new granddaughter. It's a perfect piece for warm summer days.The instructions were very clear. I made the 0-3 months size and it's a little short now that she's about 10 pounds. I will definitely make it again in a larger size for next summer.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?AdorableReviewed by Anne (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/29/2018Excellent instructions, sweet patterns, this is really adorable!Was this helpful?Adorable!Reviewed by Susan (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/25/2018Adorable — that’s how my sixteen year old grandson described the layette I made using this pattern! The instructions are terrific, the designs simple and modern. A winner!Was this helpful?Cute and good valueReviewed by Liz (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/25/2018Love them well put together, well designed, a lovely collection and good value.Was this helpful?Sweet baby patternReviewed by Gayatri (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/19/2018I 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!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Loving this patternReviewed by Frances Bell (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/26/2017I 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.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lovely simple patternsReviewed by Clare (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/20/2017I'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.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?So far so good!Reviewed by Erin (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/26/2017I'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.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?These are addictive!Reviewed by Ann (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/26/2017I 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!Was this helpful?Lulling LayetteReviewed by Judith (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/22/2017Another wonderful pattern by Oliver + S. This layette is so cute and the options are extremely tempting. The instructions are easy to follow. I have had success with every Oliver + S that I have used.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?AdorableReviewed by Emily (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/29/2017I 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!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Beautiful pattern!Reviewed by Barbara Crisp (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/04/2017I 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!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lullaby Layette jacketReviewed by Sarah (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/06/2017So far I have only made the jacket but, as with all Oliver + S patterns, the directions are thorough and clear to follow and the end result is professional. I have learned so much about garment sewing from the patterns I have purchased from Oliver + S and am an evangelist for their brand!Was this helpful?Lullaby LayetteReviewed by Heidi (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/30/2016I don't normally sew baby's clothes but a friends baby is on the way and I couldn't pass this pattern up! I have only made the onesie so far, it was really easy to follow and turned out great! I will definitely be making more :)Was this helpful?Layette setReviewed by LVH (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/22/2016I 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.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lullaby LayetteReviewed by Jean (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/03/2016I L-O-V-E this pattern!!! So far I made the shirt & pants. The directions are so easy to follow. I adore the modern style and will use it again and again!Was this helpful?Lullaby layetteReviewed by Margaret (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/11/2016Made three onesies for 3-6 months. Had some questions about applying the binding, was so impressed with the immediate response and attention to detail in replying to my question. Felt it was great customer service, and was happy with the results. Went ahead and then made the jacket and pants. All turned out great. Will use the pattern again and again.2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lullaby LayetteReviewed by Marsha on 04/20/2016I've used this pattern to make three pairs of pants, two shirts, two jackets, and one bodysuit so far and have been happy with the results. I'm so glad that I bought this one!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lullaby LayetteReviewed by Nancy (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/18/2016This pattern is wonderful! I used the suggestion from the blog and quilted the fabric for the jacket. I made the bucket hat and bubble dress to match! Sooo cute! I will be using this one a lot! Perfect set for baby gift!Was this helpful?This jacket is simply adorable and so easyReviewed by Laura Harmon (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/03/2016I own a fabric shop and have sold this pattern again and again--I have a cute sample of the jacket hanging that can't be denied! It's so easy to make for how great it is.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Perfectly gorgeous and really easy to make!Reviewed by Audra (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/12/2015This pattern set is fantastic! I have so far made the bodysuit in two sizes as well as the pants. Both patterns have great sizing and go together perfectly. Simple patterns with great instructions and a few different techniques to keep it interesting and professional looking. All of the pieces have been given as gifts and the new mums are just delighted! I am due myself in a few months and my baby will live in pieces from this layette set 24/7. Recommend to every sewist for the little people in their lives!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Perfect layette patternReviewed by Jennifer on 09/22/2015This would have to be one of the best baby patterns anyone could wish for....I found everything easy to follow.....the instructions are detailed and the finished product looks fantastic. I especially love that you can use woven fabrics to make the onesie. Will be making these items many more times.Was this helpful?Why did I wait so long?Reviewed by Linda M on 09/17/2015Fabulous pattern. Goes together easily and quickly. Love how the jacket is constructed. The pants are easy enough for a beginner. Very cute.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?makes the best gift for new parentsReviewed by Julia Gaultier on 08/31/2015So far I've only made the jacket and the pants. It makes the perfect outfit for a little baby. It's not hard to make and very quick.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Easy to follow pattern - cute suit!Reviewed by Emily Hall (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/25/2015Just made the onesie out of grey flannel for my baby boy. It is super cute! Overall I was very impressed by the directions and ease of following this moderately complicated pattern. The one thing that was missing was more detailed instructions for finishing off my interior seams. Not sure how I would have done that without a serger.Was this helpful?A perfect addition to the O+S family, and yours!Reviewed by Nicole on 05/23/2015I 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.4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lullaby LayetteReviewed by Annette on 04/24/2015I used unusual colors. Along with the easy to follow pattern I turned out each set x3 and they are lovely!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?such a well-crafted pattern and directions!Reviewed by Reeni on 02/09/2015this was a breeze to sew with the well-written directions. Particularly love the styling of the pants and the way the jacket is assembled -- can see many variations and cute outfits with these basic pieces.Was this helpful?AWESOME PATTERNReviewed by Gail on 12/30/2014Love the Oliver + S patterns - and just had to grab this one hot off the press!Was this helpful?Perfect for all little ones!Reviewed by Jaimie Orfanos on 12/02/2014This 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.4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful? -
Errata
- 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...."
- 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.
