Thrift shop find!
It was $5.90 and too small, but I bought it anyway.
Wouldn't you? It's so cheerful! I can use the fabric for something else. And that seam across the middle is intriguing.
Ah, it isn't just a seam--it's a pocket!
Now this is something I want to try....
And once I make a copy of the skirt, I can turn it into a new bag!

What a cool skirt! I can't wait to see your copy.
So that's a pocket in the center of the skirt? Hmmm, strange, hard to picture actually using it. But the fabric is an awesome thrift shop find, and you can re-use the Marimekko tag inside the bag to make it more "official".
