Children’s Sewing Pattern Size Guide

Choosing the correct size is one of the most important steps when sewing for children. LilRockyWear patterns are sized using body measurements, not finished garment measurements, with age used as a general guide only.

Use the interactive size finder below to enter your child’s height, chest and waist measurements. This will help you choose the most suitable pattern size and reduce the need for adjustments later.

If your child’s measurements fall between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size or blending sizes where needed.
