State Fair skirt

During the summer I made a lot of fun new skirts. This next skirt I call my State Fair skirt. Mainly because the material is quilted flowers and gingham. If that combination doesn't say State Fair, I don't know what does. 

I used Simplicity pattern 3796, view E for this skirt. 
 I made a few alterations to the skirt. With the type of material I was using, I thought it would be fun to add piping to the pockets and thick bias tape for the hem. I love how it turned out. This skirt is totally comfortable and perfect for summer. And it came together really quickly and the pattern was very easy.

Now all that's left to do is try it out on the giant yellow slide!
