Lesson 15 : Clothing Requirements for Toddlers

Easy of care

Clothes that wash easily, stand the strain of wear and frequent laundering, need little or no ironing, and do not need continual mending are ideal for children. Good quality seams, buttons, buttonholes and trims should be used while making children’s clothes. Reinforcements should be given at garment parts subjected to strains such as knees, pockets corners and elbow. French or flat fell seam wear longer than plain seams. Fasteners should be as flat as possible. Hems should be firm and devoid of strings that may get caught.
