Alright – the last Sew Essential post is here, and just as the giveaway ends. I hope to be able to tell you who won tomorrow or over the weekend.
I thought, because again – I can’t give you all something in the giveaway, that I would do up a free printable that you can use instead! I like to keep track of my girls’ measurements – because sewing genius usually strikes me at night, when I can’t measure them!
These are called the “Measure-Me Chart” because whenever I measure anyone in this house for a project one (or both) of the kids immediately run over to me and say “Measure me, Measure me!”. Aside from the obvious benefits of being more ready to sew for the kids (or grandkids!), it would be fun (and useful) to keep a series of these, one every 4-6 months, and save them in their baby books.
Download the BOY pdf here: Sew Essential #14 – Measurement Chart Boy and the GIRL pdf here: Sew Essential #14 – Measurement Chart Girl. These print easily one to a page (click the “fit to page” option when printing) or you could print them 2 or more to a page if you want to save paper.
Of course, I would be remiss if I did not profusely thank my husband for drawing the super-cute illustrations for these printables. Aren’t they great?! I’ll be back tomorrow or on the weekend with a Sew Essential roundup.
This is the best thing ever! Thank you so much! And, of course, your very talented husband!
I’m glad you like it Laura! And I’m super excited about how the illustrations turned out of course! I’ll let him know you like them. 🙂
“Measure me, Measure me!” so recognizable! 🙂 Great measurement charts! I’m going to use them.
I’m glad Mirjam! I checked out your blog – what a cute logo! I make my labels the same way as you do, but I use grosgrain ribbon. I like the end result, but I wish they were faster to make! 🙂
Just wanted to let you know… I’ve used the measure-me charts and have written about it on my blog.

Thanks Mirjam! What a great post – so funny 🙂 I’ve put it up on my twitter and facebook. LOVE it!
Thanks! I’m glad you love it 😀 Thank you for posting it on facebook and twitter (never had so much visitors on one day 😉 )
omg so adorable! I have a 3 month old and all I could think of when reading this post is the song “Head, shoulders, knees and toes”!
Hee Hee! Nice! Hope you get some good use from it. 🙂
This is SO great! Thank you for making this…wow!
Thanks Elisa! I really have to give my husband credit for the drawings – they turned out so cute!
Thank you, just what I needed for my Grandbabies visit.
Thank you, so much! I will be using these for my Grandkids.
I’m so glad Nancy! We still use them here every year as well!
Lovely job with this chart. But the chest measure is not design… 🙂
Hi Adriana! You are right – can’t believe I didn’t notice that. I’ll try to update it soon!
