What makes this trendy? Why, the waved pleats, of course (though the pattern allows you to stick with traditional flat pleats too).
And since you’re making this yourself, you can make your Blank Slate any color you want! I am obviously partial to aquamarine.

This giveaway is now closed, winners were announced November 9th.
Don’t forget that from now through Sunday, November 11, you can get 20% off of any of the patterns I carry on my site (so not the Hipster Henley or the Cool Cardigan since they are only on Lil Blue Boo right now), including the Blank Slate Basics Collection and the Blank Slates (for Girls!) collections, and any of the holiday patterns once they launch.
