When Melissa of Melly Sews/ Blank Slate Patterns reached out to me about doing a pattern swap I was on board immediately.  I have been a long-time follower of Melissa and love everything she comes up with whether it be the patterns she designs or the clothes she sews.  Melissa decided to work with my Leschi top as a base for her planned hack, and I immediately went with her Austin tee.

I loved the split neck of the pattern and immediately envisioned it cropped and paired with one of my high waisted skirts, either Wedgwood or Madrona.  My exact plan though was still undecided until our weather changed drastically a few weeks ago and we had entered fall.
