Yay! A different pattern to talk about! A break from KS 2918! My daughter is getting big enough to move out of the toddler pattern sizes, so I bought this pattern during the summer to try. image from www.kwiksew.com Kwik Sew did not disappoint. I used size XS and added 1" to the sleeves. The recommended fabrics are all wovens, but I used a knit and it worked just fine. Someone gave me this fabric years ago and I kept it even though I didn't really like it. It feels like really old polyester. But, the color worked pretty well with this skirt (a thrift store find) and my daughter liked it, so it was a go. The top looked pretty plain when I was finished, so I added the ribbon bows to the neck and sleeves. I think the whole look might be a little too "peasant-y," with the tiered skirt and peasant-style top, but my daughter thinks it is SO pretty. She "styled" the outfit all herself for the picture - necklace, headband, socks. Lovely! I
