Sewing for Toddlers
has easy-to-follow sewing instructions with clear illustrations,
time saving techniques and the most up-to-date sewing
methods. All styles and creative ideas are shown throughout
the book in full colour photographs.
With KWIK•SEW’S Sewing For Toddlers you
can use the ideas in the book or combine them with your
creativity for endless garment designs. In addition to
the fun of sewing toddler’s clothes, you will also
save a great deal of money since at this age kids grow
fast and are constantly growing out of their clothes.
A master pattern is included to
create entire wardrobes for girls and boys such as: T-shirts,
sweatshirts, pants, shorts, jumpsuits, dresses, skirts
and over 40 variations. Some of the pattern pieces included
on the master pattern are interchangeable so you can
make many variations of the garments Also included are
appliques, tips and ideas to add a personal touch.
The multi-sized master pattern is printed
on durable white paper with colour coded lines for each size.
The patterns are printed on both sides of the paper
so we could include as many sizes and designs as possible.Trace the patterns
using tracing paper or tracing cloth made of transparent pressed fibers.
All of the master pattern pieces include
1/4” (6 mm) seam allowances. This is the best seam allowance
to use when sewing toddler clothes. You can use a regular sewing
machine or a serger/overlock machine.
The master pattern includes sizes T1
to T4. Toddler sizing assumes that the toddler is wearing diapers.
Patterns are made to fit specific body measurements with ease
allowed for comfort and style. Before you trace the pattern,
choose the size by comparing the toddler’s measurements
to the measurement chart. Choose the size closest to the height,
then compare the chest, waist and hip measurements. If in-between
sizes, choose the larger size. The book gives instruction for
altering the patterns for the proper fit.
