I tried to apply the pants block pattern formula to make my 7-year-old daughter's pants. It seems the formula for the crotch area doesn't apply to a child. Are there tricks to making a child's block pattern or altering from a commercial pattern?

Dear sensinger,

In the future I will make video lessons on how to draft patterns and sew children’s clothing. In the mean time you can use the pants block pattern making video lesson. Make sure to sew the pants using muslin first, so that you can make the adjustments on the pattern after the fitting.

To learn more about how to adjust your pattern you can watch the below video lesson.

Happy sewing,
Nehzat
