Easy Baby Bloomers in 5 Steps (Simple Sewing Project)
Learn how to sew easy baby bloomers in just 5 steps. This is an easy sewing pattern that you can make in just 30 minutes.
I love the sight of little babies wearing bubble bloomers. I feel babies would stay comfortable in them and it would look cute on little baby butts.
Puffy little bloomers are my favorites and with the elastic waistbands, they are roomy and large enough to accommodate diapers. These stylish baby bloomers can be made with lightweight or medium-weight cotton fabric in varying prints and colors for a baby girl or baby boy.
These DIY bubble bloomers can look great with any baby clothes. May it be onesies, tops or anything else. They are great for summer and worn over leggings, they can be great for the colder months too.
These adorable bloomers can be great a diy baby shower gift. You can make them with matching baby tops ( pattern coming soon) as a gift to your loved one’s baby! It is sure to become a staple in her summer closet!
This simple sewing tutorial will teach you how to make baby bloomers in just 5 steps. Just two pieces to cut and a few stitches to be made to make these great-looking bloomers. Also, these great bloomers come with a high rise for the back to give maximum coverage while wearing diapers and that comes as an added advantage.
Sewing these bloomers was a breeze for me. I cut up all three photographed here together and stitched all three in one sitting. In fact, these were one of the first items I tried during my beginner sewing days, and this is the perfect project for all beginner sewers.
So, grab your fabric and your notions and start using this free baby bloomers pattern to whip up awesome bloomers for your little munchkin.

Isn’t this free baby bloomers pattern the easiest and the sweetest? Let me know in the comment box below!
So, I was supposed to fold the fabric RIGHT sides together before I cut?
Yes, you may fold the fabric right sides together before you cut.
Much more comfortable for cubby little legs to sew the crutch seam then turn up each leg and make a hem ( as you do for the waist) then thread the elastic using a safety pin. Cute pattern. Thanks

Are the seams allowances Included in the pattern or I’m supposed to add extra? Many thanks!
The seam allowance is included in the pattern.
I’m now learning to sew. I have my first grand baby and would like to try making the bloomers.
Did I miss something? I downloaded and printed the pieces 1,2,3. Picture shows 4, 5, and 6 also. Where are those pieces?
The template has been edited for better fit and as such there are only 3 pattern pieces. There is a note stating that at the start of the tutorial.
Love these bloomers. They are super easy to make and look so cute! Thankyou for the pattern. Would like to make them to fit 12 -18 or 24 months. Do you also do this size please?
You may increase the template size by 1/4-inch all around for 12-18 months old.
This is probably a silly question, but do these fit over nappies?
Yes, it is roomy enough to accommodate nappies.
When measuring the elastic, do you stretch it out and cut to your lengths or lay the elastic out without stretch and cut?
Thanks you!
You need to cut the elastic without stretching it!
Just making your bloomers, the elastic measurements seem way to long, is it meant to be cm not inches
The elastic measurements given in the tutorial are in inches. Just multiply by 2.5 to convert into centimeters.
I entered my email and clicked submit and it takes me to a blank google page – what am I not doing so that I download the bloomers pattern…
Kindly refresh your browser and check again. The form should take you to the download page.
Did you change your bloomer pattern?? the one i printed out last May had 6 pieces to it and this current one has 3 pieces… The one printed out last year is considerably bigger.. thank you
Yes, the pattern pieces have been edited for a better fit.
You show how to make the bloomers, but you do not share your templates, at least I could not find it.
I just bought the pattern for $2.99 thru PayPal. How do I get the pattern? Do you email it?
Yes, the pattern is e-mailed
Fantastic pattern and tutorial! I’ve already made 3 sets of baby bloomers to match baby dresses. Thank you for this!
Hello, thank you so much for your detailed instructions and free pattern. I am a beginner at sewing and I got to the part where I’ve created both the leg and waist casings but haven’t inserted the elastic yet.
When I unfold the inseam, it only measures to 2.5 inches which looks smaller than the picture (I am making the 0-3mo size). Is this by design?
I’m wondering if I should I try to fix this by moving the side seams sewn in Step 2 closer to the edge of the fabric.
Yes, that’s totally normal. The photos show a larger size bloomer, so the inseams look longer. For the 0–3 month size, you will get a shorter inseam. No need to adjust the side seams — you’re on the right track!
Made my first pair of baby bloomers, and they are so adorable.
