Introducing the little miss version of one of our most popular patterns: the Little Miss Heartlight.
This stretch knit skirt hugs the body at the waist, with a soft yoga-style waistband. The skirt then falls away from the body in a wide A shape with extra sweep at the hem for that gloriously sought after 'swoosh' & twirl factor.

FAQ's
Q: IS IT HARD TO SEW?
A: It is fast & easy to sew. It is is suitable for the beginner through to the experienced.
Q: CAN I ADD OR SHORTEN THE LENGTH?
A: Yes. It's a very quick step. See the 'How to' section in the pattern.
Q: IS IT HARD TO MULTI SIZE?
A: Just like us, our kids are rarely a standard size. This pattern makes it easy for you to blend sizes to suit your little one.
Q: MY CHILD HAS A LITTLE POT BELLY:
A: Does your child wear skirts, pants & shorts lower, at the front waist making the hem dip down? For some it's because of a gorgeous little belly & others simply prefer to wear it that way. To allow for this, an extra (optional) cutting line has been added to the front skirt pattern piece to accommodate those gorgeous little bellies if required.
SIZING:
FABRIC OUTLINE:
(1) The estimates below do not include directional fabrics. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to help estimate fabric needs for directional fabric.
(2) If you are sewing with rayon, remember to allow for shrinkage & buy a little extra.
(3) Also it’s wise to pre-wash your fabrics.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS:
The Little Miss Heartlight Skirt works best with 4-way stretch fabrics, although 2-way stretch fabrics with a bit of vertical give can be used also. BUT whilst your skirt can be 4-way or 2-way stretch, your waistband MUST be 4-way stretch with elastane.
Fabric suggestions include cotton lycra, ponte, swim or leggings spandex, polyester knit, rayon elastane knit, bamboo elastane knit, ITY jersey, double brush polyester, French terry, velour or stretch velvet, scuba.
