a simple skirt

 Little M loves this skirt and, I must say, I wouldn't say no to an adult-sized version for myself.  The swishy, drapey fabric is Robert Kaufman Brussels Washer Linen Blend (55% linen, 45% rayon) in Paris blue.  I used 3/4 of the yard I purchased to make pattern p: tiered skirt in a size I can't remember.  She's worn it twice in the last four days, and dripped ice cream on it both times :) The first drips were chocolate, necessitating immediate stain treatment and laundering.  After twenty years of washing clothes, I am finally learning the lesson of treating stains ASAP!  It was probably foolish to choose such a light color for this very active six-year-old, but it's so sweet on her.  And the blue matches the floral shirt I made for her this spring...which she won't wear. Ha.

Everyone is scheduled to return from camp any moment.  She and I are both excited to see our crew.  I probably need to squeeze in forty winks before they throw open the door.  I packed this week with Little M so full of good things that I'm exhausted!
