What kind of fabric should I use?
The best fabric depends on the costume. Lightweight cottons, fleece, and felt are popular choices. Refer to the pattern for fabric recommendations.
How do I measure the child for the costume?
Use a measuring tape to measure the child's chest, waist, and hips. Compare these measurements with the size chart on the pattern.
How do I deal with pattern markings?

Yes, patterns can be altered. Consult guides on pattern adjustments for size modifications.
What if I run out of fabric?
