what happens when the grooviest little skort EVER gets so shabby that it is toooooooo horrible to wear?

i have a favorite skort .... and it has so many holes in it that it probably isn't even decent to wear in public ..... especially for someone old enough to be my children's mother ..... so, it has been sitting in my closet, defying me to throw it out, rag bag it (which actually means putting it under the sink in my art room) or give it to goodwill ... not that they'd want it ..if you go see this skirt on flickr you can get a good look at some of the holes .... roll your mouse over the pic for tages....... i finally decided that i missed it enough as a wardrobe staple, that i needed to patch it .... so patch it i will ..... which means i got to dig out my fabric stash ..... i keep all my sewing things in a small set of rolling drawers ... plastic .... stores under my art table ..... lots of notions in there ....and when i moved into these drawers, i pared it down to manageable .... and it still seems a ton ... so i pawed and sorted and thought about what i might want from a re-lovelified skirt ...... picked some color palettes ..... and got nowhere ...... so.... took some pics and now i'm here .....waiting for skort inspiration ......
oh ... wait .....i'm gonna sew? do i realize that in less than two months i am supposed to have a booth at an art fair? and that i have no art to put in that booth? really, none to speak of? mostly not ....now, that's a great thing .... that my art mostly has somewhere to be ... but surely i should be working on canvases not skorts? .... oh well ..... i believe you have to do what the spirit moves you to do .... and i just want to wear this skort again ..... i'm thinking i'll do it up to go with some orange shoes ..... we'll see ....
