Hello, I am looking for a cute but simple (and easy) pattern for a shirt, for a 2-year-old boy. I would prefer one that had a nice collar and long sleeves. Any recommendations? I'm also searching for a cute but simple pattern for a dress, for a

2-year-old girl. Any recommendations for that one?

Thanks!

Johanna, if you're going to be sewing for these kids often, you might want the KwikSew books "Sewing for Toddlers" and "Sewing for Children". These books have both the basic patterns for all sizes and sewing instructions for both knits and wovens, and lots of ideas on how to make all sorts of changes to the basics for different looks. "Toddlers" covers roughly ages 1-4 (chest 20-23"), "Children" 4-12 (chest 24-30").

then pick catalogue and then books, or check the titles on Amazon.com and you can poke around insidethe books a bit. Try ebay or one of the online secondhand stores forcopies if you're on a budget -- just make sure the "master patterns"are included.

I don't think I've ever met a Kwiksew pattern that didn't sew well.
