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 appliqués, tips and ideas to add a personal touch.
[KWIK SEW's Sewing for Toddlers Cover] 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.

The book is lavishly illustrated and makes use of numerous practical examples.

KWIK?SEW's Sewing For Children is for girls and boys ages four through twelve. Sewing for children can be a very rewarding experience in many ways. It gives you an opportunity to be creative with appliqués and colour blocking. At this age children usually want to dress like their friends, yet they are developing definite tastes of their own and want to show some degree of individuality. They want a sweatshirt like their friends, however, the use of colour blocking can turn that garment into something special, it will still be a sweatshirt, but it is their sweatshirt. [KWIK SEW's Sewing for Children Book Cover] When you are sewing for children, try, if possible, to get them interested in the project, get them involved by taking them with you when you purchase the fabric. If they choose a particular design or colour, they are more likely to love the garment and want to wear it more often. Some children may express a desire to pick out or design their own appliqués. Like you, they also have a desire to be creative. Maybe the first item will not be the perfect garment you envisioned, but you have started them on what could be a rewarding hobby that will last them a lifetime. Older children, with your guidance, may want to sew some of the seams themselves. Help them by encouraging them and try not to be critical, after all they are the ones who will be wearing the clothes. Try to make it a fun project so that you both enjoy it. This not only applies to girls, but also to boys, many boys are just as interested as girls and in addition, they may be fascinated by the sewing machine itself. How does the machine work? How does the needle pick up the thread?
In addition to the fun you will have sewing for children, an additional reward is the money you will save. Most people believe that as children's clothes are much smaller than adult's clothing, they are also less expensive. This is not the case. While they may be somewhat less expensive, children's clothes cost a lot of money when they are purchased in your local store.
A master pattern is included to create entire wardrobes such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, shorts, dresses, skirts, sleepwear and much more. This 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 from transparent pressed fibers.
The master pattern includes five unisex sizes. Patterns are made to fit specific body measurements with ease allowed for comfort and style. All of the master pattern pieces include 1/4? (6 mm) seam allowances. This is the best seam allowance to use when sewing children?s clothes. You can use a regular sewing machine or a serger/overlock machine. Before you trace the pattern, choose the size by comparing the child?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 making changes on the pattern for the proper fit.
Some of the pattern pieces are interchangeable so you can make many variations of the garments using the same pattern pieces. Also included are tips and ideas to add that personal touch including appliqués and colourblocking.
