I'm not sure when school will be starting in your area, but ours is getting ready to start in another week or so.  For most people, finding the "right" clothes becomes a problem if your child is a plus size or even if the child is small and petite -- wow -- where are the clothing manufacturers when we need something besides "average" size clothes????

At PatternsThatFitYou.com, there are downloadable pattern making classes for BOTH the plus size, overweight girls and boys and for the small, petite children.  By using the pattern making classes, you'll be able to make clothing garments that will fit the child's measurements, therefore will look great and fit nicely.

If you're just wanting to alter a store bought pattern, but are not sure how to go about doing that, we also have a downloadable class on how to alter store bought patterns for plus size children.  Don't just "guess" at the alterations and corrections that need to be made to a pattern, check out the altering patterns class, and get it right the first time.

We all want our children to feel good about themselves, and heading back to school for the first few days, it's really important that they feel good in the clothes that they have on.

Good luck to all the children heading back to school.  We hope they have a great year ahead!
