If you thought big 4 adult sizing is crazy, it's even worse in kid sizes!

I'm not sure about the Kwik-Sew sizing, since I haven't used those yet either, and I'm just hoping that the one thing I did sew for clothes fits the Hobbit at some point. <br /><br />I've noticed the dog-heavy leanings of boy clothes too--a rather high percentage of the free hand-me-downs I've received so far have some kind of dog on them. But I'm ok with that, since between our two and the two that live at my parents' house, Hobbit is going to have a lot of dogs in his life for awhile. So the closest thing to a similar problem I'm having is that there also seem to be a lot of sports-themed things that are pretty much everything but hockey (the only sport my husband actually cares about). We actually ended up passing those clothes along to Goodwill, since he said no kid of his was going to wear a baseball outfit, lol.

(btw, I think my mom had almost the same dress yours did!)<br /><br />I've always found it a bit odd that dogs always seem to be boys and cats always seem to be girls in the land of kids stuff. Also, it bugs me that all babies are usually referred to as female in ads and articles about babies when a pronoun is used - like babies can't be boys or something (or maybe it's because in America girls are preferred by mothers?). <br /><br />~ BrookeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-86850622833263699642015-03-09T18:22:40.971-07:002015-03-09T18:22:40.971-07:00This is the cutest thing!

I hated sitting on it with shorts though--so itchy/scratchy! :-P Love the photoshoot re-creation, and Walnut is a character. :-)<br /><br />I'm not sure about the Kwik Sew sizing, but at least the pattern pieces are simple enough to alter easily! I made a lot of them for my son once he reached toddler age, but their baby sizing is a little different. And I feel you on the head size. Scotch is the 97th percentile, and he already is wearing the same size hat as Irish (who is 8). And as I'm sure you've noticed, a lot of people seem to think they are older than they really are if they have big heads...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-60115040080055530432015-03-09T11:08:37.432-07:002015-03-09T11:08:37.432-07:00He's so cute--and so is the onesie!

I know that the body type used for pattern making is a lot more....corn-fed than your coastal child will ever be. This isn't allowing for wiggle room or room to grow. They are just huge (the LL Bean snow suit we got for a 6 month old that he was still too short for at two years comes to mind).<br /><br />This disconnect will continue until he grows into child sizes, which are still a little stout. And then it will all be just right (which makes me wonder what those corn fed kids are wearing...oh, adult sizes!).SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-27140455541059918112015-03-09T07:44:58.820-07:002015-03-09T07:44:58.820-07:00So adorable!
