However, now that school's out and daycare's still in (which is too glorious for words), I just sewed myself a nice, simple skirt from Echino linen-cotton fabric by Etsuko Furuya that I bought a year ago in Portsmouth.

Simplicity 4236 was a bit of a squeeze in a size 6 (thus 1/4" side seams) but allowed me to get a skirt out of just one yard of this uber-pricey fabric. As usual, a side zipper is a recipe for a bumpy disaster and as usual, I forgot to switch it for a back zipper.
Keeping with the Echino theme, I also fixed up a pair of hand-me-down toddler jeans for my son with some "flower bed" fabric in chartreuse. A peppy cure for holes in knees and frayed cuffs.
