To get the best fit for your child, I suggest measuring their waist and subtracting 2" to get the
best length to cut your elastic. If you do not have the child to measure, you can use the chart
above.
You can use the provided measuring tool and pattern piece included on the pattern
pages to perform a stretch test. Fold 4” X 8” piece of fabric in half.
