When I bought this great retro camping print several weeks ago, I had no idea of what I was going to do with it. A little bit of a novelty print goes a long way on anyone over the age of eight, so I decided to cut the cuteness factor by mixing it with a Black Watch plaid. The result is what I’m calling the picnic skirt, because even though it’s a camping themed fabric, this scooter-skirt is just perfect for picnics, sitting at a scenic overlook with lunch spread across a cheery tablecloth.
I used a vintage pattern, Simplicity 7499 from 1976. Details at The Vintage Traveler.
Can you tell I’m ready for summer?
Very cute, the two fabrics make it that much more special and unique. the buttons are perfect!
