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

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

The jacket should be fastened with buttons, zippers or buttons. The clasp will come in handy during windy or cloudy weather. The fittings should be large enough for the child to handle on their own.

Denim clothes are quite unpretentious in their care. It's enough to remember a few simple rulesso that there are no problems with washing.

1. It is best to wash a denim jacket on your hands, especially if it is decorated with a lot of decorative elements. When washing on a typewriter, jewelry can be damaged, fly off, paint the main canvas, and the thing will be hopelessly damaged.
2. For washing, ordinary laundry soap will be enough. Powder detergent can wash the paint out of your jacket and cause the paint to become uneven.
3. Before washing, be sure to check all the pockets for various little things the child needs and turn the jacket on the left side.
4. Denim should not be washed along with other items, otherwise they risk shedding.

Surely, in every closet there is a pair, if not one, of old, worn out jeans. It seems that you can't wear it anymore and it's a pity to throw it away. How to give a second life to old jeans? The answer is simple - you can sew a fashionable, stylish jacket for a little princess. It does not take much time, and even the most inexperienced craftswoman can handle patterns and sewing.

Before making a pattern, you must remove the following dimensions:

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

If you have several pairs of old jeans at once, and even of different colors, you can sew a very original jacket in a combination of several colors. For example, blue jeans will be used for large parts, and you can make pockets from the remains of blue denim, design a collar, a belt, etc. in an original way.

For sewing a children's jacket you will need:

• 2 - 3 pairs of old jeans (depending on the age and build of the child);
• oblique inlay for registration (optional);
• piercing buttons or rivets;
• contrasting thread;
• lining fabric (if necessary);
• material for decoration (beautiful buttons, bright beads, lace, sequins, applique, etc.)

The number of parts may vary depending on the model selected. Basic option:

• 2 shelves;
• back;
• 2 fastening straps;
• 2 details of the collar stand;
• 2 collar details;
• 1 or 2 pockets;
• flaps to pockets;
• belt but the lower cut of the jacket;
• coquette (optional).

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

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

Decorating the finished jacket is the fun part. Here you can give full free rein to your imagination. It all depends on the age and preferences of the child. Bright appliques with the characters of your favorite cartoons, intricate embroidery with beads, roses from ribbons, fringes, trimming from pieces of lace or beautiful, shiny fabric. The young fashionista herself will be able to decorate the jacket to her liking, of course, with the help of her mother.
