This wonderfully polka dotted market bag was created from some reclaimed raw cotton I picked up at my favorite local shop La Gaillarde.  I then created stencils for the circles and used red and yellow fabric paint.  I also added a bit of orange stitching around the handles and opening of the bag to give it a bit more pizzazz.

This is my favorite skirt right now and I plan to make more because it is so comfortable, functional and cute (C.F.C. my style definition).  I used grey cotton blend fabric which I got for $2 yard and raw cotton for the band which was what was left over from the market bag I made.  To create this beautiful skirt I used the tutorial from Very Purple Person for the Easy Full Skirt, and it was nothing but easy.  I think in total it took me 45 minutes to put this beauty together, that includes all the ironing!

I’ve added the diagram from Very Purple Person as it really is as easy as it looks but I personally think a visit to  her site is a must as she has plenty of great tutorials and a great flickr group for everyone who has completed one of her tutorials.

Let me know if you try this skirt I would love to see the finished product!
