Thoughts on Skorts

'Skorts' are a relatively new one on me, for the uninitiated a 'skort' is a skirt with built in shorts underneath.  The first time I saw one was in the women's wear section and I have to say that I was completely dumbfounded, if you're going to do something you can't do decently in a skirt then surely you should just wear something else. Perhaps you could maximize your rubbish word amalgamations by eating with a 'spork' while wearing a 'skort' and if you really want to wind me up you could do it while riding some sort of 'transportation'.

Sorry, back to skorts, for Rose they provide the perfect compromise between the very pretty, floaty, girly (and alarmingly garish) numbers that she prefers and the all over camo-gear with flak jacket, knee pads and protective head wear that would be more appropriate to the way she plays.  A skort may not provide much padding but at least there's less underwear on show.

Anyway, this is really a craft blog.  Last December Rose refused to walk past this rather fetching knit fabric in Fabric Land (and who could blame her, especially at $3.50/m) and yesterday I found the perfect undershorts in a thrift store (just $1.50!).  Put them together and we have a ravishing and pant-covering summer skort AND there's enough fabric left over for a dress.  Result.
