It’s been awhile since I made something just for myself to wear, and it was really nice to get back into it again.  I love pretty a-line skirts in the summer.  Well, I love them year round, but especially in the summer when I can throw them on with a pair of sandals or ballet flats or dress them up with heels.

Just in case you’re sewing inclined… I found this fabric at Joann’s in the home fabric department, a hidden gem for great clothing textiles.  (Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t make a skirt out of pillow fabric.  They’re lying. ;-)) Its a bit pricey, but you only need about a yard and a half to make the skirt, so not bad.

If you don’t sew, no fear.  I’ve included lots of similar skirts below.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  Come back tomorrow morning for all the best weekend sales.
