Baby's Coming! Gotta Get This DONE! M7039

Okay, M7039, this cute little sleeper

shouldn't have you in knots. It's simple enough...uuurrrrr!!! until you get to the gusset!

Let's tackle that:
Okay, 1st we will stitch the gusset to the right front. Turn your piece around so it mimics the illustration, then you'll be sure to have the right front.

Line up the circles, large circle on the gusset, to the large circle on the right front. Stitch right sides together.

And this is what it will look like when finished.

Okay, so far so good. 

Next, take your back piece, and stay stitch from the small circle to the small circle on the inner legs. 

And then clip up to the LARGE circle; clip ALL THE WAY up TO the CIRCLE, but NOT THROUGH  the stitching. 

  Okay, now take a breath, we're almost done. 

Now pin the inner leg, right front to right back, right sides together.

the red lines show which side of the leg to join, right front to right back

 Start to pin,... keep pinning up to the gusset;

                   at this point you will have reached a small circle on the gusset and the inner leg

Next, 

Swing the curved edge of the gusset to line up with the crotch of the back (this is why the clipping was needed) - the square of the gusset lines up with the circle of the crotch. 

Keep pinning around the gusset and the inner leg, until you come to the other small circle. 

the red line will follow the blue line as you pin, with the square lining up with the large circle at the slash

It should look like this after you finish pinning; one side of the gusset is left unattached - the zipper will be attached to this later on.

When you stitch, BREAK/STOP SEWING at the small circle, move the seam allowance out of the way, and replace the needle back in the same spot, and continue on, when you get to the square, lift the needle, PIVOT/TURN THE CORNER, and continue on to the next circle and stop.

Okay, so that's it, now you can move on to the zipper and you'll be on your way!

Happy Sewing!
