Tutorial: Resize a sewing pattern to make it bigger or smaller

Sometimes the perfect sewing pattern is perfect in every way – except the size.  If the size you need is not included in the pattern, all is not lost.  With a little know-how you can size that baby up or down as needed. Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shares a tutorial showing how to do it.  This tutorial is particularly well timed for me, because my daughter is right smack dab between children’s clothing sizes (patterns usually go up to only size 12) and juniors’ clothing sizes.
