Children's Trouser Basic Pattern Calculator

Children's trouser pattern

Learning how to make your own pattern has never been easier! If you want to become a true pattern maker without spending a lot of money on beginners sewing courses then you are in the right place. Buying or downloading a free baby pattern never offers you the perfect pattern for your body. Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or not, my 'Childrens' Trouser Block', complete with step-by-step instructions and a detailed drawing will help ensure your quick success.
The children's trousers pattern calculator can be used for 3 age groups 3-6 years old (92-116cm tall), 7-10 years old (122-140cm tall) and 11-14 years old (146-170cm tall).
The two piece children's trouser block gives a better shape and extra back crotch rise. The columns left of the blue line from the "INSTRUCTIONS" sheet will give you the basic shape. The ones on the right will give you a easy fitting shape.

Instructions for using the pattern calculator:
* Add your measurements in the yellow cells from the "MEASUREMENTS" tab. The basic measurements needed for the pattern should be made by using the sketch from the same sheet and the measurement code (ex. A, B, C, etc.)
* Press button "Calculate"
* In the "RESULTS/INSTRUCTIONS" tab, the dimensions for the blocks will be computed automatically.
By following the steps from "RESULTS/INSTRUCTIONS" and the drawing you will be easily able to make your own pattern. Good luck!
