I had purchased a pattern for my daughter a couple of months ago,and now it's small. Is there a was i can adjust the pattern for the pants to be larger? Waist and hips.

Those adjustments can be made to the sides of the pants. Just take your amount and divide by 4. Be sure and allow for ease. Don't forget to add the amount to the waistbands or facings too. If you have facings instead of a waistband, just lay trace the entire facing, lay it in place over the pattern and then extend the tracing for the amount that you added to the side of the pattern. You'll have a perfect fitting facing.

When you say the amount. Is it the amount of the size of her waist and hips divided by 4 or the difference in the pattern size? Thank you Pledge of Allegiance: I promise never again to do any free work.Unless my mother or father are involve.

If you do the difference between her measurment and the pattern size you still have to add ease. I would do the difference between her size and the pattern size.
