Denim

Saturday
Shirt: Self-made
Skirt: Vintage
Boots: Thrifted

I decided to keep it simple this past Saturday. It was sunny and a tiny bit warmer and my boyfriend and I took a long walk to have brunch and then wander through Brooklyn Flea. I wanted to throw something on that was relaxed and comfortable. I made this shirt last fall and it quickly became one of my favorites. I think it's one of the nicest things I've ever made! I spent a lot of time focusing on the details and getting everything just right. It's one of the many Built by Wendy patterns I've made---and the fit is really nice.

I spent the rest of the day working on finishing my bleach-dyed dress. I just want to add one more detail before it's complete. I'm a little scared to wear it! Sometimes I wait forever to wear things after finishing them...I'm afraid I'll bust a seam or something. 
In other nerdy sewing news, I ordered a serger! It's supposed to arrive on Thursday and I can't believe it! I'm hoping for speedy completion of many more projects!
