The e-book only contains the pattern for the hood (DIN A4 + DIN A0) and ears (bear, cat, rabbit), detailed sewing instructions with many photos and adjustment options as well as practical tips for sewing.

hood and funny animal ears

This hood is a great addition to the MIMPI one-piece pattern. Optionally, you can choose from different ears (bear, cat, rabbit), or create your own jumpsuit costume from it. We provide you with bear, cat and rabbit ears as an ingredient for a funny costume. How about a llama or a unicorn? Of course, you can also sew the hood without any ears. It will definitely be cozy in this cuddly onesie! The hood is best combined with the zipper version of MIMPI. You can of course also sew the optional divisions and the horizontal pockets on the hooded version. The MIMPI one-piece is designed for jersey. If you are using a teddy plush or similar that is not so stretchy, you should sew 2 sizes larger in width and definitely choose ribbed fabric for the ends.

There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to the animal interpretation of the hood. You can use our ear templates, modify them or draw completely new ears. A unicorn horn stuffed with stuffing is also a simple, impressive addition. A unicorn mane made of tulle or dragon spikes can easily be added to the dividing seam of the hood. You can even let them continue in the dividing seam on the back or add a tail further down. You're sure to have lots of ideas by now!

Sewing a jumpsuit with a hood - even as a beginner

The hood is - just like the one-piece itself - really easy to sew. Especially in combination with the zipper. And the ears are a piece of cake. We'll show you everything step by step anyway, so you can just go for it. There are also video sewing instructions on the Nähfrosch YouTube channel. And what we can promise you: Lots of fun sewing! :-)

The e-book takes you step by step with lots of pictures, making cutting and sewing child's play. The e-book also contains a small basic section in which common terms and sewing vocabulary are briefly explained. Printing and gluing the pattern together is also explained in detail!

The name MIMPI

By the way, MIMPI is Indonesian and means dream. We wish your offspring sweet dreams!

Fabric recommendation:

MIMPI is designed for stretchy fabrics such as jersey or French terry. But cuddly fabrics such as sweat, terry cloth or velour are also suitable. Depending on the thickness of the fabric (eg alpine fleece), it may be advisable to choose the larger size and use ribbed fabric for the arm and hem cuffs.

You can use the same fabrics for the hood, although slightly thicker jerseys or French terry tend to be more suitable than super thin jerseys. Thicker fabrics such as teddy, faux fur or plush work particularly well for the animal look with ears .

For the hood you need about 45 cm more fabric in all sizes.

This means that for the basic version with a hood made of one fabric, you need a total of:

• size 92 - 110 = 1.85 m
• size 116 - 128 = 2.10 m
• size 134 - 146 = 2.35 m,
• size 152 - 164 = 2.55 m

You also need:

• Non-divisible zipper (size 92-104 = 25 cm, size 110-164 = 30 cm). Note: The zipper length corresponds to the length shown. If you want the zipper to run down to the crotch, you will need a longer zipper; please measure it yourself.
• 45 cm ribbed fabric
