a couple of weeks ago, i went to the fabric store with a list. i knew exactly what i wanted and how much. you know what happened next. i saw something that wasn't on the list, and it was fabulous. there was only a little over a yard of fabric left on the bolt, so i knew it was a now or never situation.
well, in this case, i knew exactly what it could become and that it would be useful in my closet. i had donated a piece recently, and i had noted wanting a piece or two that would make leggings more of an option. the fabric is 100% linen in a color that fits my aesthetic and style. it is a whole different feeling to buy the fabric, make this top, and not feel a bit of guilt or uncertainty over adding it to my simple wardrobe. i know it will be worn and loved.

fabric: indigo dyed tiny checked linen
pattern: improvised by tracing and tweaking an existing top
don't tell my planned for white linen top, but i might even like this one better. :) they'll both get plenty of love.
