Even if God did not specifically kill an animal to make the skins, an animal had to die for animal skins to be available to be formed into clothing. The effect was the same, an innocent animal died to make clothes. And since all of God's instructions in the future commanded it, the animal was first drained of blood.
I'm curious why you say it has to be this way. Here is what the scripture says:
Gen 3:21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
I don't see in the preceding verses or the ones that follow that indicate sacrifice at this point.
I understand how you can come to that conclusion, but if you didn't know all that you do know, based on just these verses, would you still come to that same conclusion?
Another point is that prior to the fall, there was no death. In order for God to gain animal skins, two animals had to die for the first time, if you take the story very literally.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 1Co 15:22
So, the fact that God brought them the skins means that God very likely had something to do with the death of those animals in order to provide a covering for Adam and Eve, which certainly involves the shedding of blood.
All this has more or less been mentioned already in the thread, but it seemed good to point it out again.

Greetings,
If we look at it in the light of the scriptures when Moses reiterates the story saying that God brought them the skins ... it was actually Adam (not God) whom killed the beasts... for their skins,
Think of it as Moses describing the first revelation

I'm curious why you say it has to be this way. I think it's a logical conclusion based on the information provided.
If you had bacon for breakfast, was not some pig's life sacrificed so that you could have it?
If you have a leather jacket, was not some cow's life sacrificed so that you could wear it? Yes to both, but there are 2 issues that your examples overlook:
1 - I am not God or else I could make bacon or a leather jacket just appear from thin air.
2 - It makes sense from western logic, but that is not the logic framework of the bible.
From the biblical logic, if it does not spell something out specifically, it is not necessarily so. It is an area that we just do not have information on and should not try to manufacture an answer based on our own faulty reasoning.
