EASY Pattern Making for Children
Buying or making clothes for the plus size child, tall slender
or petite child can be very stressful and
difficult. There is literally
NO standard size that fits properly.
My friend has a 9 year old daughter who has a 36"
chest, 34" tummy and 38" hips. Buying pre-made clothes for her
is impossible as the skirt
length goes past the feet and long sleeves hang several inches below her fingers.
My friend decided to try making some clothes, only to
find similar problems. Thinking the new "plus" sizes would fit,
she was disappointed to find that, while a 16 Plus would fit the chest, the "waistline" hung about 2-3 inches below
her waist, the skirt length was way too long, the neck and armholes were much too large and the shoulder width
fell way off the
shoulder. After all, the measurements used in the store bought pattern are for a "chubby" 16
year old, not designed for an extra chubby 9 year old.
Knowing that I teach and sell pattern making books and
classes, my friend came to me for help in getting something to
fit her daughter. We took the child's measurements, then proceeded
to make a pattern from "scratch" using her own measurements as a guide.
The dress fit perfectly! And rightly so, since we used her own personal
measurements for the pattern!
 The same thing applies when you have a
very small petite child or a tall and slender child, and nothing seems to fit
right - all the clothes are baggy and the tiny body gets lost in the oversized
clothes. The answer is to use that child's measurements to make the
pattern, and everything you make will fit perfectly!
Do you know somebody with chubby children
who have a
difficult time finding clothes that fit properly? Do you
know someone with children who are so petite  and
small that nothing fits
properly? The answer
to these fitting problems is to make the patterns according to the individual
child's measurement.! Easy Pattern Making for Children is a set of
individual classes that
I teach that are getting rave reviews. The classes are now available as on-line
classes. Easy Pattern Making for Children gives step by step instructions
and illustrations on how to take the child's measurements, and how to use those
measurements to make perfectly fitting patterns and clothing, then gives
patterns of all types that you can use for their wardrobe.
