Polka Dot Blouse

Happy Fall! I found this awesome fabric the last time I went thrifting, along with some denim and a creamy gauze that unfortunately turned out to be moth-eaten. Best I can tell, this cute little polka dot number is a poly-challis. It had a few bad spots but I was able to cut around them.

As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make a Lucerne Blouse by Hey June Handmade. The tie-sleeve version is perfect for fall in the desert because I can use delicate fabrics without sweating in them and I don't have to wear a coat yet, which would be a little bulky around the ties.

This was my first time doing a split sleeve but the directions were easy to follow and I love the little detail that the binding brings to it. 

I think that if I made another I would either size down on the chest or bring up the neckline a bit so that I can bend over without showing EVERYTHING down to my belly button. It's a cute little blouse with a slightly retro feel to it and I love that it was made with thrifted fabric.
