This came together pretty easy using some vintage fabric I scored at a garage sale or off craig's list, I can't remember which. The only bummer was slicing the sleeve while I was trimming the seam! At least it's in the back and the pattern is so busy you don't notice.

I used a linen/rayon blend to make up this skirt. One of the easier patterns I've used - a quick and simple project!
