I am such a deadline girl, and vacations are no different. I bought this fabric probably two years ago, then I added these brown thistles in a silkscreening class, but still, the fabric sat silently in the cupboard until the night when really I should be making sure my clothes are washed and the passport isn’t expired. But I can’t help it. It’s such a little slice of heaven to sit here in this quiet late night, listening to only the spring of my shears and the dishwasher gurgling in the background.

(who knows what I am doing in this photo. probably micromanaging my husband taking the photo and he rightfully got sick of that very quickly and as a result, I only have this weird image. serves me right)

I kept the bottom and top unfinished to just fold over, for that graceful-slouchy look, ala ballet dancers during warmup.  And lo and behold, when I trimmed the hem, I kinda liked the effect so now it’s reversible, just like that. Go, go, gadget skirt!
