Measuring a Child

I am near the completion phase of a project, but I wanted to double-check the measurements, so I sent the following to my daughter-in-law so she could measure my grandson for me. 

If printed on an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper, with no margins, the ruler should be accurate.

As it turned out, two things happened before she got this printed:

1. She went to a fabric store and got a measuring tape.
2. I went to a store and found a similar item in the same size and measured it.

If I had thought of that first, I wouldn't have gone to all the effort.  But I did, so I decided to share it in case it helps someone else.

Now I just need to finish up the project, which I will post when I am done, before I send it to him.
