My Rainbow Skirt Replacement

A long, long time ago, maybe 12 years, I made a rainbow skirt.  I wore it all the time.  I love that rainbow skirt.  I typically wore it with a red top and my blue converse chucks.  It was my go-to informal summer wear.  Then I lost a lot of weight and because of how the skirt is made, it looked stupid on me (too big) and I was unable to alter it (too many seams to rip out).  So I kept it in the back of my closet where all my skirts that don't fit me anymore live.  This was slightly devastating.

Imagine my surprise when I found a piece of the same exact scrap fabric in my stash when I was packing everything away a few weeks ago.  I thought it was just a few scraps but it turned out to be nearly enough fabric for a brand new skirt!  I had saved the leftovers for over a decade!  I got to work immediately to make a new and improved replacement.  I didn't have quite enough fabric so I had to shorten the skirt a little and take smaller seams but it is still long enough for me to wear comfortably.  What a find this was!  I can't wait to wear it all summer!

Here's the fabric closeup so you can see the rainbow.
