There are a few things you’ll need in order to measure a child for sewing patterns: a soft measuring tape, a pen or pencil, and someone to help hold the measuring tape in place. First, measure the child’s chest by wrapping the measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest and writing down the number. Next, measure the child’s waist by wrapping the measuring tape around the narrowest part of the waist and writing down the number. Finally, measure the child’s hips by wrapping the measuring tape around the fullest part of the hips and writing down the number. These three measurements will allow you to find the right size sewing pattern for your child.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question since children come in all shapes and sizes. However, a few general tips on how to measure a child for sewing patterns could include:<\/p>\n

-Using a flexible measuring tape, measure the child’s chest circumference just under the arms and around the widest part of the chest.<\/p>\n

-For the child’s waist circumference, measure around the natural waistline, typically just above the hips.<\/p>\n
