Black and Orange Scrap Buster

Tomorrow is Black and Orange Day for the Kindergartners. Would you believe that my daughter owns nothing orange and approximately one black t-shirt? After forgetting to borrow a shirt from my niece, and realizing that I was not only too tired to go to the mall but that I also didn't feel like spending any money, I searched through my stash until I found this fabric leftover from crayon rolls that I made last year! So, tomorrow, she'll wear her one black t-shirt and borrow black leggings from her younger sister, and rock this fun skirt. 

A Simple Skirt

I came home late tonight from Cape Cod, and in need of a gift for a little girl whose birthday party we are going to, tomorrow! The great thing about having a fabric stash is that an instant gift is always waiting. This simple skirt took less than an hour to stitch up, not counting the numerous interruptions from my own birthday girl who will wake up a 5 year old and was too excited to sleep and my three year old who told me, "I don't know how to sleep." 

                                    

The fabric is Exotic Stripe in Midnight, from Kaffe Fassett's Woven Stripes collection. I love how soft and worn this fabric is. The material is perfect for a summer skirt.
