1. To make it easier to take measurements that are associated with the waistline, tie a cloth inlay to the child’s belt.
2. The centimeter tape should fit well and tightly to the body of the child, there should not be excess sagging, but do not overtighten it.
3. When measuring the girth of the chest, measure by the most protruding points, not pulling, but not loosening a centimeter tape.
4. We measure the waist at the narrowest point.
5. When determining the volume of the hips, measurement occurs at the most convex points of the buttocks.
6. The girth of the neck is measured at the base, closer to the collarbone.
7. We measure the length of the product from the seventh cervical vertebra.
8. The width of the shoulders is considered at the most convex points from one to the other shoulder.
9. The width of the back is measured through the center, along the line of the shoulder blades.

By the measurements taken and the basis of the pattern below, make a pattern of a children's t-shirt.

What to do next

The pattern of the sleeve of a children's T-shirt is also easy to do. Draw a vertical line and put a dot at the top of the sheet. Three quarters (3/4) of the depth of the armhole and the length of the sleeve according to the measurements taken by you, set aside from the point down. You got two points. From them, draw two horizontal lines of arbitrary length.

On the front of the t-shirt, measure the length of the armhole. We transfer the value that we measured to the pattern from the side of the sleeve - we get a segment. We call it VO. From point O, lay to the right the segment OV 1 = VO.

Next, we divide the obtained segments BO and OB 1 into 4 equal parts. We construct the armhole of the sleeve as shown in the pattern. You can narrow the sleeves along the bottom by about 2–2.5 centimeters on each side.

Sewing Tricks

In order for the work to turn out to be high-quality and accurate, you should know several nuances:

• If you need to complete a stitch, then sew it with a zigzag tilt. Then the fabric will not wrinkle and tighten.
• Use the “sponge” on either side of the stitch, then it will be easy to move a long piece of fabric without shifting the stitch
• To flush the fabric evenly, use tracing paper. Draw a straight line on it, fasten to the fabric and sew. When done, just tear off a piece of tracing paper!
• You can use the line direction table. It is very comfortable. In addition, it looks beautiful and neat, especially on thin fabrics.
• If you need to stitch several layers of fabric at a time, fasten them with small clothespins or paper clips, then the fabric will not “leave”.
• To bend the fabric evenly, use a sheet of paper and an iron. Fold the fabric along the side line of the sheet and go over it with an iron.
• Place a piece of cardboard under the foot and even difficult to sew fabrics will “go” easily.
• To circle the pattern immediately with a countdown, add two pencils using clerical gum and circle them. If the premium should be larger, you can put together three pencils. Raise one of them, which is located in the middle, so that it does not leave extra lines.
• Remnant is one of the best means for leaving sketches on fabric.
