In today’s episode I share 6 reasons why I love grow with me clothing, as well as the grow with me patterns I know of.

Grow with me clothing is clothing that will “grow” with your child because of the extra long cuffs or waistbands.

My 6 reasons why I love grow with me clothing:

  1. You can feel better about cutting into the fabric you are hoarding.
  2. Saves you Money
  3. Easier to build a handmade wardrobe (Here’s a link to the article that has the quote I mentioned about extending your clothing’s life by 9 months: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/sustainable-fashion-blog/2015/jan/14/10-things-learned-zero-waste-fashion-industry)
  4. Don’t have to box up your child’s favourites as often = happier child 😉
  5. Works for in-between sizes
  6. Perfect diaper bag clothing

Bonus for sellers: I find it is easier to price fairly.

We also heard some reasons why other people in the sewing community love grow with me clothing.

Here are the patterns I mention:

My Patterns

And the grow-with-me romper pattern will be delayed because my poor baby got an ear infection so he’s needed lots of extra mommy cuddles so I haven’t spent any time at the computer. Now the next class for my master’s degree starts next week so I am not sure when I will get around to finishing. Hopefully soon though 🙂

When I was searching etsy to get the links for these patterns I did find another grow with me pattern.

Stitch Upon a Time Beanstalk Britches (Which I actually have the pattern for but haven’t made yet. Can’t believe I forgot about these! And these are made with a woven fabric)

    1. Thanks! I didn’t actually sew any of those. They are the work of my amazing pattern testers. They are the best!
