Denim is a fairly dense material, so you should not buy a jacket for growth, especially for a very little girl. She will just be hard and uncomfortable to wear a heavy thing.

As for the length, different options are possible here: the jacket can be several centimeters below the waist or be shortened.

The jacket should be fastened with buttons, a zipper or buttons. The clasp comes in handy during wind or cloudy weather. The fittings should be large enough so that the child can independently cope with it.

Denim clothes are rather unpretentious in leaving. Enough to remember some simple rulesso that there are no problems when washing.

1. It is best to wash a jeans jacket on your hands, especially if it is decorated with a large number of decorative elements. When washing with a typewriter, jewelry may suffer, fly off, paint the main fabric, and the item will be hopelessly damaged.
2. An ordinary laundry soap will be sufficient for washing. Washing powder can wash the paint from the jacket, and the color will become uneven.
3. Before washing, it is necessary to check all pockets for the presence of various trifles that are necessary for the child and unscrew the jacket on the left side.
4. Denim products must not be washed with other things, otherwise they risk shedding.

Surely, in each closet there is a pair, or even more than one old, worn jeans. It seems that you can no longer wear it and throw it out a pity. How to give a second life to old jeans? The answer is simple - you can sew a fashionable, stylish jacket for a little princess. This will not take much time, and even the most inexperienced craftswoman will cope with patterns and sewing.

Before you make a pattern, you must remove the following sizes:

• chest girth;
• waist circumference
• hip girth;
• child's height.

If you immediately have several pairs of old jeans at hand, and even different colors, you can sew a very original jacket in a combination of several colors. For example, blue jeans will go to large parts, and from the remnants of blue denim you can make pockets, design a collar, belt, etc.

To sew a children's jacket you will need:

• 2 - 3 pairs of old jeans (depending on the age and physique of the child);
• slanting edging for decoration (optional);
• punching buttons or rivets;
• threads of contrasting color;
• lining fabric (if necessary);
• material for decoration (beautiful buttons, bright beads, lace, sequins, applique, etc.)

Depending on the model chosen, the number of parts may vary. Basic option:

• 2 shelves;
• back;
• 2 strap fasteners;
• 2 collar rack details;
• 2 collar details;
• 1 or 2 pockets;
• valves for pockets;
• belt but lower section of the jacket;
• coquette (optional).

Draw or print individual details of patterns. Then you can transfer the details to the denim. To do this, you first need to rip old jeans, and then transfer the pattern to whole parts of jeans. After all the details are cut out, you can sweep the jacket and try on the child to make sure that the patterns are made correctly.

Now you can start sewing.First, you should sew the yoke (if it is provided for by the model) to the details of the back and shelves, then sew the side seams, sew in the sleeve, and sew the belt. The last to go are the collar and pockets. For insulation, you can provide a lining of cotton fabric, flannel, fleece or other material. It looks interesting option with a bright, contrasting color lining fabric. The neck and sleeves are better made a little wider than necessary - and the jacket sweeps longer and you can always put on a light turtleneck or blouse under it.

Decorating a finished jacket is the most interesting part. Here you can give full vent to your imagination. It all depends on the age and preferences of the child. Bright appliqués with the characters of your favorite cartoons, intricate beadwork, ribbon roses, fringe, trim from pieces of lace or beautiful, shiny fabric. The young fashionista herself will be able to decorate the jacket to her taste, of course, with the help of her mother.
