The garment may pieces as desired. In instead of having ally from the form, I arrange tend perpendicularly, they be made in one or more forming the garment,

the sleeves extend laterarment as is the ordinary the sleeves so that they exthat is to say, so that are in alignment longitudinally with the garment, such sleeves extending from the upper end of the Referring now to shown in Fig. 1, one

arment. the drawlngs I have form of garment made out of a single piece of any suitable maform In this construction the body 1 of ed integral with the the material for said sleeves projecting from the upper edge of the body portion and being in a with the body portion. folded over along the plane longitudinal The material ]S then lines 4 and and the edges of the sleeves sewn or otherwise fastened together, the g illustrated in Fig. 2.

arment then being as The particular process of making the garment as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is to cut away the upper corners as shown in Fig. 1 so as to have the faces 3 and 2 and then cut away at the upper end a central part 3 so a and 3, and then fold lines 4 and 5 and then s to leave the faces 3 the parts over on the fasten the inner long1- tudinally extending meeting edges of the cut away portions by sewing the edge of the cut away or otherwise portion 2 with the edge 3 and also fastening by sewing or otherwise the edge 3 forming the garment.

with the edge 3", this Instead of having the sleeves integral with the garment, they may be separate therefrom. The edges of the garment may be fastened together by any suitable fastening means. For purposes of illustration I have shown these edges as fastened by suitable tapes 7 attached thereto having loose ends which may be joined.

In Figs. 3 and a I have shown a further modification where the front of the garment is made of a piece 1 and the back of a piece I", and these two pieces are sewed or otherwise fastened together to form a garment.

In Fig. I have shown a further nnnlitimition, {illustrating a closed garment. The ends of the sleeves 2 and. 3 are closed in any desired manner. For purposes of illustration I have shown these ends as being closed bythe stitching 10. V

The bottom portion after the child is in, may be folded up and may be fastened in its folded position by any suitable fastening means, such for example as safety pins 11. This forms a closed bag and in addition to being a warm garment, prevents the child from sucking its finger or thumb.

The portions which form the front of the garment may be fastened to the back in any desired manner. I prefer, however, to fasten the front portions in such a manner as to throw the bottom parts thereof toward each other. Qne way of doing this is by lapping a portion of the upper end of the front portion over the back, and then sewing in this position, as shown for example in Fig. 6. In this figure, the overlapping portion 12 which is triangular in shape is produced by pulling the upper end of the front portion upwardly, and this swings the lower ends toward each other and makes the angle at 12, that is the angle between the edge 14; of the front portion and the top neck portion of the back, that is to say an acute angle instead of a right angle. In practice I may make this angle such that the lower ends of the front portions will overlap as illustrated in Fig. 2,

leaving at the top a space 15 between them which forms the neck opening of the garment. This construction also strengthens In the event that lihe child sleeps on its stomach, the. corners of the front parliol the garment can he turned bark to insure dryness of the garment in ease of bed wetting, and Sl'lll make the necessary PIOH-Pcllfill to the hark. arms and shoulders of the child. The ointment may he made out of an;' snitahle material. and the proportione and arrangement varied to soil the eoiu'lilions preseul'ed.
