Has anybody else run into a sizing issue with children's clothing?? I know that I have to buy a larger size pattern than what i wear in store-bought clothes, but I just made DS a pair of pants and....WHOA!!!
He's getting ready to start kindergarten, so I thought I would make him some cargo pants. He needs a store-bought 5, so that's the size that I cut out for him. Fortunately, it was elastic waist, but I cut off 5 inches at the bottom of each leg. I know, I should have gotten his measurements first, but he was in school when I started working on these. I just wondered if this was typical...haven't really had this problem with his sweatpants because he likes them a little loose...I'm just really mixed up right now because this is the first time I've really run into this. Or could it be that my DS isn't growing as fast as he has in the past.
Anyway, I'll get a picture put up in yahoo albums soon...he thinks it's funny that the side pockets are down at his knees .
Larisa, rambling and trying to figure these sizes out
