My dear readers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During recent days I have witnessed a dramatic increase in\nnumber of visitors to my website, most of them look for ways to sew their own\nmasks to protect themselves, their beloved ones and the frontline workers who\nare fighting the coronavirus. I have also participated in a small group sewing\nmasks and other PPE for the community and local frontline workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

One of my friends talked about the shortage of PPE,\nincluding masks and protective suits. Many hospitals will be out of these\nimportant equipment in the near future. She asked if I \u2013 as a patternmaker \u2013\ncan provide the sewing group with pattern for protective suit, just like I did\nfor the masks. And of course, I am happy to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize that the needs for protective suits is increasing\nday by day, and I think that sharing it for free would be a good idea. So,\ntoday, after giving the pattern to my community, I am sharing it with you,\nhoping that you can sew it not only for yourself, but also for all the brave\nfrontline workers who are trying their best to protect the whole community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protective coveralls are generally made of light waterproof\nfabric to prevent any droplets from touching the wearer, thus protect them from\ninfection. The COVID-19 virus travels with droplets let out when virus\ncontractors cough or sneeze, and cannot float in the air, so when people wear\nproper PPE, they are less likely to get infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To us normal people who are not working directly with\nCOVID-19 patients, a set of protective coveralls is not that necessary \u2013 unless\nyou are travelling on a flight. I have seen pictures of people wearing this\nkind of coveralls, masks, gloves and glasses on a flight from Europe to\nVietnam. Looks funny, but it\u2019s not funny at all. Everyone is at risk, and noone\nwants to get this hateful virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Because this is the pattern for a coveralls, it is quite\nbig, so I created a version for larger paper size \u2013 A0 paper. You can bring the\npattern to the copy shop and ask them to print the pattern out to save time\ncutting and taping pages together. Of course, you need to do all the necessary\npreventive measure when going out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pattern is quite simple, it includes 3 pattern pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A. Main piece \u2013 cut 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Sleeve \u2013 cut 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. Hat \u2013 cut 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the slouchy nature, I only make 6 sizes for these coveralls. You can decide your size by seeing the maximum measurements below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing instruction: Please see this post<\/a> if you are not sure how to print the pattern out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are new to sewing, the process of sewing these\ncoveralls is also simple. I will make a video to demonstrate the sewing process\nwhen I have time (hopefully soon). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sew the inseam (the leg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turn one leg inside out, push it into the other leg, pin\nthem right side facing and sew the very long seam from the nape of the neck to\nthe front belly part. Insert zipper to the front bodice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pin the shoulder part right side facing (many friends of\nmine pinned wrong side facing and had to do it over again, so I think I need to\nrepeat). Sew the shoulder seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sew the sleeve seam. Attach the sleeve to the armhole (no\nworries about front or back, because the sleeve is the same for both sides).\nSew the sleeves to the armholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Place two hat pieces right side facing, sew the hat. Sew\nthe seam of the hat. You can sew a small tube and insert an elastic to make the\nhat fit more closely to the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Attach the hat to the neckline. See the notches? Match\nthem with the shoulder seam. Sew the hat in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Sew the hemline for sleeves and pants. Attach elastic\nbands so that they fit closely to hands and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you are done! It takes some time to finish this\nprotective coveralls, but it definitely worthy. I have a plan to sew one for\neach of my family members. You never know what will happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, if your local hospitals and communities need,\nshare with them this pattern! I am happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
