The pieces that I've made for friends seem to fit their babies in the size range that is listed. And they have some adorable dress patterns that would be so cute on Rachel when she gets a little older. They're pricier than the big 4, but the drafting is superb and the styles are precious. Just a thought. :)amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-69250071427633997532010-10-24T14:46:45.479-05:002010-10-24T14:46:45.479-05:00Absolutely darling!!!

I to...Love it!! The yellow buttons are super fun!<br /><br />I totally agree with the above ladies. I find that with Simplicity babies patterns, XXS is actually more like a RTW newborn size and XS comes closest to a 0-3 month, then it goes up from there. The other big 4 baby patterns are usually about a size too large (ie what they call a 3 month size won't fit until baby is 6 months). Ottobre and Burda sizing is MUCH better and more reliable - besides, you really only need to know her height for them! :-) Happy baby sewing!KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-55999892661170225562010-10-23T16:45:44.472-05:002010-10-23T16:45:44.472-05:00Same here, always huge, go down a size or sometime...Same here, always huge, go down a size or sometimes two in baby things, measure something similar in RTW against the pattern. Toddler sizes are better, but my almost 3 yr old wears a 2T/24mos in RTW and can still wear a 1 in patterns.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163175961766563965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-17517307300655759232010-10-23T16:40:08.616-05:002010-10-23T16:40:08.616-05:00That is a very cute jumper!

And it isn't just sizing - sometimes I found the scale to be very strange, like very large collars or wide shoulder straps that just didn't work well or look good. Burda and Kwik Sew do a much better job than the Big 4 do, but I find that the Big 4 patterns do get better as they get closer to toddler sizes/ages. Like Kathryn, measuring some other well-fitting clothing was always the easiest way for me to get something to fit and look appropriate.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836486379427368704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-78373800964942045592010-10-23T15:38:00.411-05:002010-10-23T15:38:00.411-05:00I have an awful time with sizing children's pa...I have an awful time with sizing children's patterns.

My boys are not small, but everything I've made them from big 4 patterns has been wide and deep in the rise (clearly not a problem with jumpers). Wiggly babies are not conducive to fitting, so I usually take a piece of clothing that fits them well and is of a similar fabric and measure the important dimensions to compare with the pattern.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302762936883869228noreply@blogger.com
