Q I would love some advice on sewing for young teens. Any pattern sources would be helpful. My granddaughters, ages 12 and 14, wear purchased clothing in misses' sizes o or 2. I have searched patterns exhaustively and find the girls' size range ends at 16 and adult sizes start at 6 or 8.There is a huge gap here. For an inexperienced sewer with relatively basic patternmaking skills, it's a big challenge. These girls wear as many clothes as the rest of us, or more. Why are they left out by the pattern industry?
