NB - 2T: 1/2 Yard
Materials:
* My favorite fabric types for this onesie are cotton lycra, rib, jersey, and slub jersey!

A quick note before you dive in: Our patterns include multiple files so you can sew the way you like—at home on a printer, at a copyshop (A0), or with a projector.
Quick answers
- After checkout, you can download your pattern from the confirmation page, from the email we send, or anytime under Account → My Downloads using the same email you purchased with.
- Your files come in a .zip. It’s easiest to download on a computer, unzip, and you’ll see: Instructions, Letter/A4, A0, and a Projector file.
- Printing at home? Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print at 100% (Actual Size), then check the test square.
- Prefer no paper? Use the Projector file. It includes a calibration layer so you can confirm scale before you cut.
- Need a big print? Send the A0 file to a local copyshop or an online printer.
- If you get stuck, email hello@lowlandkids.com and we'll be happy to help!
⸻
Downloads & accounts
How do I get my files?
Right after payment you’ll see a download button on the confirmation page. We also email you links in your order confirmation email. And you can log in to our website any time and find everything under View Downloads.
What pattern files are included?
Four PDFs: Instructions, Letter/A4 (home printing), A0 (copyshop), and Projector.
Can I download on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Check out our Printing and Projector tips page for specific guidance.
⸻
Projector sewing (quick start)
Do your patterns include projector files?
Yes—our current catalog includes projector-optimized files for nearly all patterns. You’ll see “Projector” listed in each download.
How do I check scale?
Open the Projector file and turn on the calibration layer. Confirm the 1” / 2.5 cm squares measure correctly. If you move your projector or cutting surface, re-check before you cut.
Any setup tips?
Keep the text/markers layer visible. If labels look faint, check your PDF viewer’s accessibility settings and disable “replace document colors.” You can also enable the black background layer for higher contrast.
⸻
Print-at-home (Letter/A4)
1. Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. In the print dialog, choose Actual Size (100%) and auto portrait/landscape.
3. Print the page with the test square first; measure to confirm scale.
Troubleshooting:
- If the whole pattern prints on a single page, you likely opened the wrong file (use Letter/A4, not A0 or Projector).
- If lines look fuzzy or misaligned, try “Print as image,” make sure your printer driver is up to date, and restart your computer.
⸻
Copyshop / A0
Download the A0 file and send it to a copyshop or an online service. Many sewists print a single master copy and trace sizes as needed.
Note that we protect our patterns by locking the pdf files to prevent editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator. In rare circumstances copy shops might use software that invisibly requests edit access and will show errors when attempting to open our files.
⸻
Layers (print only the sizes you need)
All patterns include layers. Open the Layers panel in Acrobat Reader and hide sizes you don’t need. This keeps lines clear and makes grading between sizes easier.
⸻
Sizing & skill level
Each product page shows the skill level and links to the size chart. If measurements land between sizes, it’s common to use the width of one size and the length of another.
⸻
What machines do I need?
A regular sewing machine is all you need to start. A serger is optional but great for knit fabrics and tidy seams. A coverstitch is helpful for professional hems but not required.
⸻
Can I sell what I make?
Yes—items must be sewn by you personally. Mass production or outsourcing isn’t allowed. For manufacturing inquiries, email us.
⸻
Need help?
We’re happy to troubleshoot downloads, printing, or projector setup. Email hello@lowlandkids.com and include your order email and a screenshot of your issue if you can.

Reviews
I looove the final product!!
"I looove the final product!! But, the directions for making the scratch mittens part were very short and really confusing. It took me a few days to figure out that it meant to turn right side out only the top layer of the mitten, to form the cuff, instead of turning the middle right side out. Needed more details for that part and also more pictures would’ve been really nice."
Practical and Cute
"I've been looking for a side snap onesie like this for a long time, and I'm glad I found it! Overall the instructions are clear and the directions are well written. My only gripe is the snap installation on the sides feels nearly impossible without extra long pronged snaps due to the bulk of the binding coming together. I had to sew a piece of twill tape for the snap on one and had to improvise and hide the snap on another. Otherwise the end product is adorable and practical."
Love it!
"I was surprised by how easy this was to sew up! Great directions that were easy to follow. I will definitely be making this again!"
Looks absolutely adorable, clear instructions
"Looks absolutely adorable, clear instructions easy to sew together. Mitten cuffs are not as scary as I expected"
Gorgeous romper!
"Such a quick and easy sew! Can’t wait for my baby to come so I can put it on him!"
So cute! Really happy with
"So cute! Really happy with how it turned out. Not sure if I should have used some interfacing in the band because the fabric tends to pull at the snaps. Photo is with the gusset pants before I attached all the snaps. Thanks so much for your lovely patterns!"
Loved the look especially when
"Loved the look especially when using Jersey (see yellow snap suit). I probably need to learn how to use rib better, but with rib I had a hard time keeping the binding smooth (see turquoise snap suit). The instructions were clear and the sew fast and easy. I would say that the reinforcement for the snap in the front (the one with the square) needs to be increased. My husband tore the fabric with its first use! But will keep making it for sure! I'm looking forward to actually trying it on our expected baby!"
Now one of my staples!
"Fantastic pattern. Everyone should have it in their collection. Just a great basic pattern! I’m on my second one. The binding is easier than it seems."
Partner endorsed!
"I'm definitely more comfortable sewing wovens, but this knit pattern was an absolute breeze to sew, looks great, and comes together nicely. My partner was hesitant for me to make baby clothes but is a big fan of this design; with snap closures allowing for full opening making changing a breeze. I've now full endorsement from my partner to make more!"
