The Children’s Corner, Kaki is a wonderful “beginner pattern” for those that are beginning to sew with knits.

Let’s just say: Knits aren’t our forte!

In fact, we dread sewing with knits . . .

Although our nieces LOVE them.

And the care of knits is . . .well . . . spectacular!

We are warming up to them, but they will never be our “go to” fabric of choice – if the decision were completely up to us.

Last summer, we sewed two, size 7 Kakis.

We added 1.5″ to each dress’ length.

The additional length was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

It, again, made the length somewhat “awkward” for EA.

She loves a long dress, so she didn’t mind the extra length.

This pattern is so loved by our nieces – for both the summer and winter season.  We find ourselves having to “embrace the knits” or be left in the sewing dust . . .
