Apron Skirt, by Dottie Angel
Isn't this wonderful? It is inspiration for my spring and summer dressing. Elastic waistbands will my friends, and skirts are just so much more comfortable in the heat than pants!

I have a modest collection of vintage aprons, and am always sorry that I can't wear them out of the house. So, I will be putting them to use on some "skirt collages," soon to be undertaken, as soon as I can get a realistic measurement of my presently non-existent waist! (I may have to cheat in my eagerness and measure a skirt from last year post-baby! It is an elastic waistband, after all.)
And a couple of goody piles for my inspiration....it's fun looking through the stash to find embellishments and odds and ends.
What styles are getting you excited for Spring dressing?
I'm off to a quilt show tomorrow; hope you too have something fun planned for the weekend!
I love all the stuff Dottie Angel makes - can't wait to see what you come up with - especially with that wonderful inspiring pile of goodies! :D

A Tiff-style skirt would be lovely for sunny days, you are right.
