Scrap skirt

This last Thursday was the second week of derby boot camp for DD and DDF.  To assist DDF who works ten hour days and cannot possibly get from her job to her home and then on to the rink by the start of practice I pick up her dogs in the morning, keep them all day and then return them to her apartment on my way to the rink for the evening session. She says she couldn't do the bootcamp without my service.  This makes me feel good; I like to help DDF out. 

DDF's dogs are familiar with me as I've dogsat them many a time, so other than driving them back and forth, the only big thing is to walk them.  No problem.  It was hot that day so the dogs and I spent a lot of time sitting in the shade of the garden.
Around two o'clock I started thinking about skating and wondering what I could wear that would be less warm than my usual black workout pants.  Decided right then and there that I should make a summer skating skirt.  Wasted a lot of time searching for the box of Lycra pieces, thinking I might have some turquoise that would work nicely.  Never did find it but did come across a stray piece of white Lycra in a bag near a pile of unfinished quilts.  Didn't want a boring white skirt so I rummaged about for suitable skirt fabric.  Not enough of any one piece to make a whole skirt.  As three o'clock drew near I had no choice but to give up the idea or make the skirt from odds and ends.  By four-thirty I'd finished the skirt.  Here is what I made.
