Pattern Name/Number Insa Skirt
Pattern Description Insa is a two-layer skirt with a yoke and an elasticized waistline.
Which view and size did you make? 134/140
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
If not, why? It looks like one of the pictures in the Sewing Clothes kids love book. The tucks I made weren't mentioned as a view, but the picture was pretty easy to copy the technique! Pic is on page 93 on the bottom.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? -
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Loved the simplicity and how much opportunity there is for embellishment!
Fabric used Baby corduroy
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend I didn't do the elasticized shirring on the top layer. Instead I did a 1" tuck on the seams about 1 1/2" from the hem and added lots of trims under the tuck. I zig zagged the trims on before zig zagging the tuck over the middle of the trim.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments Such a cute style and my nearly 8 and 9 yr old girls love their new skirts! I actually made two and they look very different despite using all the same types of materials on each.
