What the blank bodysuits are for

A bodysuit shape says "new baby" faster than any other picture, which is why it turns up on shower invitations, bunting, cupcake toppers, gift tags and announcement cards. These are pictures of the garment, with the front left blank: add a name or a due date in your cutting software, or cut the silhouette from patterned paper and leave it plain.

They also work as mock-ups. Lay your design on the outline or the front and back template to judge how big it should be. On a real newborn bodysuit the printable area of the chest is only about 100 mm wide, and 75 to 90 mm is a safe width for a design.

Details that hold together

On the detailed bodysuits, the bindings round the neck and legs and the lap shoulders are slots about 1.4 mm wide that stop short of the edge, and the three snaps are round holes. Nothing falls out except the slots themselves. For paper banners cut each bodysuit 90 to 120 mm tall and punch two holes in the shoulders for the string; the washing line design has the line and pegs built in if you want a single piece.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
