For my next goal, I’m planing to do kids blocks, since I have 2 adorable grand kids, one just turn 1 years old and the other one 3 years old. Here they are!
Since it’s a little hard to take their measurements, I decide to start with a measurement chart. I started with my i years old. What I notice, anyway for them..
- I use 1 size up.
- I add extra ease, so they could move comfortably, about 2cm all around.
- I lower under arm point, so the sleeve could also be confortable, by 1 cm
The first prototype fit, but she look like she was wearing a tailor suit, she could not move. I had done a back opening and I found that it wasn’t a good idea to check the fit.
For the second prototype, the pink one you see on the picture, with a front opening and the corrections 2 & 3, she did not want to take it off, so I guess the fit was perfect.
My next step, grade it up 2 sizes for my 3 years old. To do so, I’m planing to use my grading rulers, with the smallest grading steps and simply had to the length 1 cm per size so 2 cm total.
Of course, I will share this on my Diane Deziel YOUTUBE channel shortly, because making kids cloth is fun!
I already bought 3 grading rulers from you .I can’t do by self learnin without reference guide line books .pls advice me how to approach .

Hello Thida,
Tell me more about your grading project, what size pattern you have and what size you want to do. Also what is it, dress, pants, t-shirt? I will make it in a video on my Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/Montagnes2.
