I made a couple of changes to the pattern. First off I had to make a size 86/92 for the waist since my three year old has a small waist. Since I wanted it pretty long I extended the length. Then for the overskirt which usually has 4 pannels, I made one regular panel for the back and made a new pattern piece with a curve for the 2 side panels and left out the front. I sewed ruffles into the front panel of the underskirt. I finished the hems with the rolled hem setting on my serger. I wish these pictures came out better but it's late and there's no sunlight to be had. I'll put up outside pictures with E wearing it...maybe tomorrow...... :) This skirt matches the IMKE hooded tee I made for her last week. One school outfit down, how many more to go?

WOW Seema! You are so creative and so good at what you do! Imagine the love your kids feel knowing all the work you put in making them beautiful clothes (& if they don't know it now, they will when they are older). Feel good!
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is amazing. You're really outdoing yourself with one gorgeous project after another. Way more fun than spending $$ at Children Place etc.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute it makes me miss having a girl to sew for anymore. My youngest is 13 going on 30 and is very picky about her fashions these days. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for the feedback :) Makes me want to sew more....
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Found you through SewMamaSew. I've made my younger daughter an Insa without mods. Love your modifications...the front! And the ruffles that match the Imke...so cute! I am looking forward to playing around more with the patterns in this book. (congrats on the new baby too!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Luch :)
