Heartlight Skirt

The Heartlight Skirt is designed for stretch knit fabrics. It hugs the body at the waist, with a soft wide yoga-style waistband. The skirt falls away from the body in an A-line silhouette with extra sweep at the hem. Plus lots of lengths to choose from to create different looks. 

GLORIOUS LITTLE PATTERN HACKS:

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: Please note:
(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.
