Red, White, & Blouse

I picked up this little cotton skirt at a clothes swap a while back. I was kinda weirded out by the bottom border though. It just doesn't look like it belongs on the rest of the skirt. But that's all one piece of fabric, printed that way. Strange, huh?

So I chopped off that border, flipped the skirt upside down, cut here, gathered there, and behold, a new cotton top to pair with a cardigan this spring, or wear on its own this summer.
