Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to introduce you to Rita, a fantastic mom of three boys who’s here to share an adorable little sewing project with us. She took the time to create a step-by-step photo tutorial for this project, and we’re so grateful she’s sharing her creativity with us. Thank you, Rita, for stopping by!
About five years ago, I started sewing Oliver + S patterns after my oldest son was born, and now I’m the proud mom of three energetic boys who always need new outfits. I’m constantly searching for unique patterns tailored for little boys. Each season, I eagerly check the Oliver + S website for new patterns, hoping there’s something special for them. A few years back, I was thrilled to discover the Lullaby Layette pattern. I’ve made it at least twenty times—it’s become my go-to gift for every baby shower I attend. There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as sewing for a baby, and this pattern offers endless opportunities for creativity. Over the years, I’ve experimented with adding buttons, ribbons, pockets, belts, and bow ties, but today I want to share my favorite customization—adding a cute little tie.
To achieve this look, I used some shirting material and followed the Lullaby Layette instructions to finish the bodysuit before adding the tie. Old men’s dress shirts work perfectly for this bodysuit if you happen to have any lying around.
The little tie requires a bit of prep work, but once you have the template, it’s incredibly simple. I’m working with the 6-12 month size, but you can adjust the length for any size by adding or subtracting a bit. The tie consists of two main parts—the tail and the knot. Let’s start with the tail.
**Making the Tail**
First, draw a 7-inch line on a piece of paper and mark it 4 ¼ inches from one end. Then, draw a 4 ½-inch line perpendicular to the 7-inch line at the marked spot, ensuring it’s centered on the 7-inch line (2 ¼ inches on each side of the mark).
Next, connect the four ends of the lines to form a kite shape. Measure 1 ½ inches from the top of the taller side of the kite and draw a dotted line across its width. Cut along this dotted line to remove the top of the kite. You now have your tail template.
Use the template to cut the tail from your chosen fabric and also cut a second tail from a lining piece. At this point, it’s a good idea to cut a rectangle measuring 2 ½ inches by 6 inches from the main tie fabric. This will be the tie knot, which you can set aside for now.
With right sides together, sew the tail and lining pieces together on all sides except the top using a ¼-inch seam allowance. Trim the corners and turn the tail right side out by pushing it through the open top. Use a chopstick or point pusher to ensure the corners are well-defined. Press the tail flat.
Lay the tail face down and fold the right and left corners of the kite together toward the center. Hand-stitch the two sides together along the entire length of the seam.
**Making the Knot**
Set the tail aside and grab the 2 ½ by 6-inch rectangle you cut earlier (the knot). Fold the right sides together and sew along the 6-inch edge with a ¼-inch seam allowance to create a tube.
Turn the tube right side out using a safety pin or a loop turner and press it with the seam centered on the top.
**Completing the Tie**
Lay the knot face down and center the tail (also face down) on it, aligning it with the top edge, as shown.
Push the arms of the knot upward at an angle; the steeper the angle, the wider the knot will appear.
Pin the arms of the knot in place and flip the knot over, temporarily removing the tail. Carefully sew across the long arms of the knot, ensuring not to catch the front of the knot in the stitching. This will hold the knot securely in place.
Clip the long arms of the knot to create a small triangle.
Grab the triangle and tuck it into the top of the knot. The knot should now look neat and tidy.
Tuck the tail back into the bottom of the knot and hand-stitch the knot to the tail on the backside to secure it. While you’re at it, stitch the top of the knot closed to give it a polished appearance.
And voila! Your little tie is complete. Now it’s time to attach it to the Lullaby Layette bodysuit.
**Putting It All Together**
Center the knot just below the collar on the front placket. Stitch the knot across the top of the tie and about an inch down the side of the placket. Make sure the tie is only attached to the front placket.
Finally, add a snap to the underside of the knot and another snap on the receiving end of the shirt. Consider placing a small circle of interfacing on the underside of the shirt where the receiving snap is sewn. This ensures the tie stays neatly in place, even when worn by a wriggly baby.
All that’s left is to find a dapper little guy to rock this outfit!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Sewing projects like these are such a joy, and I’d love to hear how your creations turn out. Happy sewing!
