Welcome back!!! The first pattern I'd like to introduce you to is PLAYTIME SKORT...
Playtime Skort puts the fun back into funky! Active little girls can play as they please while wearing their Playtime Skort, providing modesty in the playground.
Made from super comfy stretch fabric and with dainty bubble skirt detail, it is simple to pull on in the morning and have fun playing all day. Whether hanging upside down on the monkey bars or heading off to a birthday party, Playtime Skort will cover all bases.
This pattern provides options to make a pair of shorts, a cute bubble skirt, a comfortable single-layer skirt or a skort from one easy pattern as well as instructions to create a matching reverse-applique shirt for a complete outfit!
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.
A big thankyou to the brilliant Fiona Harding for these super cute photos of Lil - I just love them!!

This is JUST what I am looking for for my newly toilet trained daughter who loves skirts and is not very lady-like ;-)
I'll definitely be getting this pattern. I love the knits that are out there and they are nice and comfy for kids.
Love it! With your book and new patterns, my husband is in a panic. He just doesn't understand that a little girl can never have too many clothes. Thank you.
I love sewing with stretch fabrics, but Im even more thrilled to finally see fun and bright fabric choices in this line. This pattern would certainly be given a work out by me!.
This would be perfect for my little girl. She loves skirts but also loves to climb a lot.
Perfect for my little monkey bar loving one who is starting school next year.

Definitely just what we need! So sweet.
After 2 sons, I have a daughter who has just advanced from nappies to undies. She loves skirts and dresses but she is no lady so making some skorts would be fantastic.
love this soooooo much!!
How much fun is a bubble skirt- and I love the "modesty" pants too!
