So my contribution raised $300; nearly 25% of the stall’s overall takings. Isn’t that cool? I’m told that the…[Read more]

from another mom of a skinny skinny boy for whom I have made many many pairs of pants: measure him in the rise and compare that to a pair of pants that fit well (according to both him and you!). DS is 10 and all this year I wondered why his pants were not getting shorter even though I knew he was getting taller. Turns out he was wearing them lower…[Read more]

My daughter has similar measurements to your son. I have in the past successfully made pants her pants where the width was significant smaller than the rise and length. If I recall correctly I think I did a size 12-18 month width Afterschool pant with a 2T rise and length and it worked well.

I haven’t tried this with Art Museum though.

And agree with Cat75 – good point about crotch length
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic How to adjust sizes in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Good point by Cat75 and who wants to go mucking around with altering crotch rises and seat length, not me.
