It was a busy week this week! I got to celebrate my 28th birthday with my friends and they got me gift certificates to my favourite little fabric shop (they know me well) and I splurged on some new patterns for spring. I got the Sewaholic Saltspring dress, because it is so pretty and I am dying to make a camisole hack like
this one here. I also got the Grainline Maritime shorts because, well, summer = shorts, and if I am going to continue avoiding RTW I'm going to have to make some! I also picked up the Deer + Doe Fumeterre because it is sooooo cool! I love the idea of a black version in a light viscose rayon, so swooshy!
