Collection: KidZone
Welcome to our collection of fabrics and kits designed specifically for kids! Whether you're an old hand and making underwear and want to use your skills for your kids and grandkids, or if you're having trouble finding the right underclothes for the kiddos in your life, you'll find fabrics and materials for making all manner of undergarments right here. This collection targets children from 12 months to about 10-12 years old, and many of the prints appeal to both boys and girls, so you can really maximize your fabric dollar. We'll continue to add things as time goes on, so be sure to come back and check out what's new regularly.
You have some choices when you're putting together undergarments for your wee ones. A great way to extend your fabric usage is to use elastic to finish your garments rather than self fabric bands. With careful cutting and smart use of elastic, we've gotten 2 full undie/ short cami sets for a 9 year old plus a pair of undies for her little sister out of a half yard of fabric (with 3 yds FFO, 1 yd Crochet Elastic and 3/4 y Wide Plush), and 3 pairs of boys' briefs size 12 with a non-working fly and a pair of undies for the little sister out of another half yard (with three cuts of 3/4 yard Wide Plush and 2 yards of FOE). Leave us a note if you order more than one piece of Bamboo and we'll combine your yardage- this is one way to pick more colors of elastic! Our bamboo fabric is amazingly soft, completely breathable, holds up wash after wash and can withstand a fair amount of unpicking without making holes or other unfortunate accidents. Even our older kids choose their bamboo first when it's time to dress or pack for a trip -- this fabric is sooo comfortable! Even the sweaty teen athlete prefers bamboo undies above the all others!
We have this table in our listings, but it's worth repeating. You can get multiple garments for children out of a small amount of fabric, particularly when you pair with elastic. This gives you some guidance on what type of elastic is well suited to particular uses and garments for the small ones.
