Making Children's Clothes: 25 stylish step-by-step sewing projects for 0–5 years, including full-size paper patterns

Not what I was looking for; I wanted a book to help me draft kids’ clothing.

I've made two of the PJs from the book in sizes 3-4 and 2-3 and unfortunately, the sizes are completely inconsistent and inappropriate for the ages. Clearly there's a problem with the pattern grading and testing of the book. Its completely put me off making any of the other patterns.

Love the stylish book

Some cute clothes in here but also a lot of old fashioned styles that I wouldn’t really want to make, but good for practicing.The biggest thing I didn’t know about this before buying however is that although it says it has all the pull out patterns for the clothes included, they don’t make it clear that you need to have tracing paper in order to use them as there are several patterns all overlapping each other.

I have not made children’s clothes for many years, my hobbies are mainly patchwork, rag dolls and mohair bears and rabbits, but on long down I wanted to try sewing clothes and felt children sizes were best to start. I saw this book and was attracted to its cover and received it 2 days later. I love it, bright, cheerful and easy to follow instructions which include full size patterns to trace and cut out.I am very pleased with the results so far and have learn a lot of new techniques and idea’s

The book is well set out, with good, clear instructions, although the text uses a lot of American terminology. However, the design and style of some of the clothes are a little odd and frumpy, I cannot honestly see my Daughter wanting me to make them for my Granddaughter to wear. Out of the 25 designs, there are only 5 or 6 I would consider making. I'm sorry, I do not like giving poor reviews, but I am disappointed with this purchase, it does not represent much of the clothing worn by young children in the UK.

For the same price as one standard packet pattern, this fabulous book gives you 25 different patterns complete with easy to read instructions, helpful diagrams and full colour pictures. Absolutely brilliant, couldn't be happier!

Excellent manual especially for beginners. Very clear directions and photos. Brilliant value given the number of patterns included in the book. Highly Recommend.
