I dreamed up the postage stamp patches one April night just before sleep - to work in a little color play, a little patchwork reference, and to keep the skirt out of tablecloth and square dance territories.
I lined it with old muslin curtains and added a deep sideseam pocket (these elements were not in the commercial pattern - I'm so proud of myself!).
My picnic gingham skirt is so lightweight and floaty and bright that it's going to be my Summer 2011 Signature Skirt (I made up that label just now).

Lovely, with a little spice. Just like you, I imagine:-).
A+++
Very pretty! I like the addition of the patchwork, and I'm sure you appreciate the pockets.
I tried to get you a link to the Food in jars, and couldn't come up with one. Perhaps have your husband go to their page, and scroll back to the day of your post on their Facebook page.
Cute! It looks very comfortable.
How cute is that?! Love the little patches too. You're very clever!
Just lovely!!
Oooooh, I absolutely adore it! Those tiny patches are wonderful and any skirt with pockets wins in my book even when it doesn't look nearly so delightful as this one! Good work.
Love, love, love it!!! So cute... and the little postage stamp patches are perfect. You should be very proud of yourself. Happy picnicking!
Wow, I love it! You are very clever.
You rock!
It's perfectly lovely! Beautifully done and so flattering ; )
It looks like a summer special! Love it!
I like it!
Woo that skirt looks fab. What a cool idea with the little patches. love it!
And congrats on the p/t job. Hope it continues well and perhaps opens new doors too! xo
This looks so fresh and fun--the perfect summer skirt. I really love it!!
Oh, what a lovely skirt!! And the patches - you are clever.
I found your skirt by just searching for "red gingham skirt". I'm working on my own, and now I'm terribly sad that my gingham check isn't big enough to put "postage stamps" on. Maybe I'll have to do two :)
