When you are experienced with your child's body you will be able to take a basic pattern and alter it. The basic body of a leotard that fits well will be your standard. You can add to the middle or the crotch; sewing is pretty mathmatical. My daughter grew but was mostly the same around. She had an outfit for artistics numbers that she wore for years. It just kept getting shorter.katiedearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146679195365134226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-37520418833311926082008-08-27T10:07:00.000-05:002008-08-27T10:07:00.000-05:00ACK...no, I think I will skip Specialty Sportswear...ACK...no, I think I will skip Specialty Sportswear for now. I'm a beginner all the way! I would like to order a Jalie pattern but not until I figure out the Kwik Sews first. It's really quite hard to find skating dress patterns! I wish dd could fit into the adult Kwik Sews. I like some of the patterns better then the little girl dresses. She wears a size 8 in most of her street clothes and usually a 10/12 in skatewear. I've got a couple sizes to go before she can fit into the adult dresses. Oh well! Thanks again!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221030682489406883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-35320720916845433172008-08-27T08:19:00.000-05:002008-08-27T08:19:00.000-05:00Glad I could help, Angie.

(Ice Girl and I started sewing it last night.) Good instructions, multi-sized patterns.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'd avoid Specialty Sportswear patterns unless you're brave and are way more experienced than I am. The directions are sketchy.<BR/><BR/>I own the system and a couple of patterns, but I've been to chicken to try them. :) A gal at our associate club sews them all the time, though. She says they're like being in the wilderness without a guide!Ice Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639175462486739483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-85174514735335571262008-08-26T21:22:00.000-05:002008-08-26T21:22:00.000-05:00I know this is an older post I ma replying to, but...I know this is an older post I ma replying to, but I wanted to thank you for the warning! I'm trying to make a dress for dd and you are making me very happy that I decided on a Kwik Sew pattern! :-) I will avoid the Green Pepper pattern like the plague!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221030682489406883noreply@blogger.com
