My guess would be that these are referring to heights of children in cms. 80cms = 9-12 months 86 = 12-18 momths 92 =18-24 months 98 =2-3 years 104 =3-4 years 110 =4-5 years 116 =5-6 years 122 =6-7 years 128 =7-8 years 134 =8-9 years 140 =9-10 years These figures taken for girls from the mothercare website. Hope this helps as a starting place love and kisses, Jan

Just thinking - is Anna like Burda - no seam allowance - so you would need to trace around the pieces and add 5/8 seam allowance - or what ever you want to use.
love and kisses, Jan

How do you add a seam allowance? Thanks in advance if you can help. Felicia Did you see the topic thread at Banberry on different ways of adding the seam allowances? I think eveything else was covered, but just wanted to make sure you were set on th tracing/seam allowance question. -Corie |

If you have an Ottobre book they have the same sizing and I took a Burda pattern and compared the sizes and got 56 - newborn, 62 - 3 mon, 68 - 6mon, 74 - 9 mon, 80 - 1yr, 86 - 2yr, 92 - 3 yr. and that's as far as I've gotten as that's as big as I've made. Course you have to compare cm to inches when comparing patterns. So they match up pretty good to Jan's. Thanks Jan for the extra sizes! Now I don't have to keep looking up on patterns and converting!
