I need some quick to make outfits for my tiny 6year old grand daughter. She is about a size four in size and a 5 in length. She won't wear dresses for some reason but I think tunic tops with leggins would work. I think she doesn't like too much fabric engulfing her tiny body and getting in the way of play. I am not an accomplished sewer so I need the simpler the better but she is pickey. Is there a pattern to suit both of us. 'Got any suggestions???? Grandma C |

I've been using simplicity patterns to make size 1 pants for my granddaughter and they have been super easy to make. Some of the patterns I'm using go up to sizes 4 and 5.

Try 4767 simplicity. It is a pj pattern but the pants in it are the easiest thing to make. I needed a pair of pants this morning and I made these in under 15min start to finish. I also use the top to make some cute peseant style tops. I will take off the length and forget the elastic cassing and just sew the elastic to the fabric. I some times only put the elastic in the front of the shirt and add a a bow to tie in the back. It is such a versital pattern and will take no time to make. The pants only have 2 pieces, the shit only has 3. Dont let the fact that it is for pj fool ya.

I like the Ottobre elastic waist pants, they are simple and have 5 seams (2 leg and the crotch seam) and fit little ones well, they also have nice tops that sew up quickly, if you can get a back issue Christmas/winter 2004 has many nice patterns in it,
