How do you sew a child's costume?

Question

Do you have to use a pattern, or can you make your own?

Where can I find out about the proper materials.

Where can I get costume type patterns for historical type clothes for kids, if anywhere? Like a puffy lacy shirt or a buckskin shirt, or a leather vest, or a quilted jacket?

How do you make your own pattern, if possible?

Do you have to measure your kid? If they're growing, how early should you make the costume?

Answer 1

This place has children's patterns. You go by what size they wear now.You can make everything a size bigger if you want. Just follow the instructions on the pattern. It tells you all the materials and supplies that you need.
