Red calico skirt

I was tired yesterday and 5492 is giving me fits so I started something easy instead.  This is an off-red calico prairie skirt, inspired by this 1880s doll I saw online (she's wearing a dress, though).  The camisole said it would look great with it.

The fabric is Denyse Schmidt Winter Walk Sweet Bloom Bark (a faded, slightly orange, red):


I planned a 30" skirt with a 8" or so flounce and side-seam pockets.  I got 2 1/2 yards and had just the barest amount of scrap left; I guessed perfectly.
