2. Kids’ Katie Skort
I love a good skort and I love the knew Kids’ Katie Skort. I love knowing that I can have a short hem line and still run around like crazy because I have secret shorts underneath. Want to look cute but still ride a bike? Katie Skort to the rescue. Want to climb trees but still look fashionable? Katie Skort is the winner. Told to wear a skirt but don’t wanna? Katie Skort is the best. I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you.

It’s true–your models are going to feel fancy while wearing the Kids’ Katie Skort, but they’ll feel bold too. What? You don’t want them climbing on the furniture and jumping on the bed? Hmmm…how do you feel about monkey bars??

8. Kids’ Mia Shorts and Pants
ALERT! The Kids’ Mia Pants are TEEN APPROVED. To be honest, they’re even teen inspired. After shopping for back to school clothes and seeing this style all over the place, my daughter requested that I make some. Voila! The Kids’ Mia Shorts and Pants are the perfect transition piece for fall and spring. With a wide leg and pull on waist, these are easy to fit and easy to sew! You’ll be exploring ALL the apparel woven fabric in no time!
What is an apparel woven? Glad you asked! These fabrics typically come in 56″ wide and are sold at popular online places such as Mood Fabrics and Fabric.com. Stores such as JoAnn and Hobby Lobby have some too! I got a really nice chambray from HL and the drape is beautiful! The Mia Shorts and Pants will work with flannel and quilting cotton too, but the drape will be very different. (Drape is how it hangs on the body.) Quilting cotton will be a lot stiffer and an apparel woven will look flowy.

- Sizes 0-3m – 14
- Multiple inseam lengths for shorts, capri, and long pants cut lines
- Patch front pockets
