Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up correctly.

Double-check that you've cut the correct size, and the pattern pieces are oriented correctly according to the grainline. Also, ensure that your seam allowances are accurate.

Instructions are unclear.

Reread the instructions carefully. Refer to online sewing tutorials for visual aids if necessary. If a term is unclear, look it up in a sewing dictionary.

Fabric frays excessively.

Use a serger or zigzag stitch along the raw edges of the fabric to prevent fraying. Consider using fabric with a tight weave to minimize fraying.

Garment doesn't fit correctly.

Measure the child and compare the measurements to the pattern size chart before cutting. Adjust the pattern if necessary. Make a muslin (test garment) first to check the fit.
