Insa Skirt

Well, I may not have been blogging, but I that doesn't mean I haven't been making things.  I've just been more motivated to create than to take pictures and write about it. 
One of my recent completed projects is the Insa Skirt from Sewing Clothes Kids Love.  The 2-layer, 4-gore skirt is adorable and can potentially be made with many more fabrics instead of just the 3 I chose.  I made the 3/4T size and substituted a waistband for the yoke the pattern called for since I didn't need the extra length as I was making it for my 2 1/2 year-old girl and didn't want to make the 18M/2T size.

As for Sewing Clothes Kids Love, let me tell you I love this book!  The patterns are unique and offer so many design options, you're really only limited by your creativity.  There are 2 dresses, a skirt, shrug, leggings, jacket, trousers, and tank top for girls and unisex shirt and jacket for both boys and girls.  The patterns range from size 18 months to 12, so you can get lots of use out them.  The book offers lots of ideas for customizing and embellishing the patterns as well.  This is one pattern book I'll be using again and again!
