Just a simple madras skirt, made from “cheater cloth”. I made the pattern by copying my favorite jean skirt. The back has 2 darts, the pockets are made in the same way as the milkmaid skirt, and I had a little help constructing the button fly placket from Wendy Mullin’s book Sew U

If it looks a little ragged, it’s because I made it over a year ago and I live in this skirt during the summer months. Again, it matches many different colored tops (are you noticing a theme in my wardrobe?), so I can quickly grab one from the closet, add a pair of flip flops, and I’m good to go. Love that!
I originally made this skirt because I was still angsty about the fact that I could never afford the J. Crew versions back from like 1997 when they were so popular. Hey, nobody can say I’m not stylin’, right? (just 13 years too late)
If you were truly late-blooming with this one you’d have it with ankle socks and bright white Reebok running-shoes, haha.
Very cute–love all the colors!
super cute. and funny because I have a ripstop skirt on my list of to-dos becuase of one I totally fell in love with and never bought in college, over a decade ago.
Anything looks cute on a super skinny 12 year old boy body. : ) btw, at first I thought your belly was reeeeaaaallllyyy pale, then realized you were wearing a shirt. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
