About a month ago, I was contacted by Angela from Sew Bright Alpine Quilting asking me if I would consider creating a pattern using some of the new stretch (knit) fabrics that are around. After hearing feedback from a few of my customers, saying that they would love to see more stretch sewing patterns, of course I couldn’t say no!
After a bit of discussion with a few friends, I decided upon this skort pattern for little girls. I don’t know about other Mum’s out there, but I am totally sick of seeing Lil’s undies every time she wears a dress or skirt – which is just about every day! A skort is the perfect way to solve this problem, she can wriggle around and lift up her skirt as much as she likes without giving the whole world a view of her underwear! She thinks it is the funniest thing and calls it her “magic skirt” 🙂
And just incase you don’t want to make a bubble-skirt, there are options to make a skort with a VERY simple single-layer skirt. Or you can forget about the skort altogether and the make skirts on their own or a pair of little shorts that look super cute with a longer t-shirt.
For a lovely selection of stretch fabrics, contact Angela at Sew Bright – they are great to work with!
A big thankyou to the brilliant Fiona Harding for these super cute photos of Lil – I just love them!!
