DAY 13: TOPS THAT POP SEW-A-LONG - WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS EARLIER???

...last night I had a marvelous light bulb moment! I decided to set up a Pinterest Board of all the TOPS THAT POP submissions rather than waiting to do a collage at the end of the sewalong. 
I think a Pinterest Board is a wonderful way to showcase all of OUR beautiful tops.  You can view FAYE'S 2017 TOPS THAT POP SEW-A-LONG  Pinterest Board by clicking right here.  The link to the Pinterest is also included on the side bar.

AND AS FOR ME, it was Work Wear Wednesday and Thursday with tops made earlier (McCall's 7442 & Butterick 6425).  The sleeves do have it!  I love the McCall's top and really enjoyed wearing it.  I added 1" to the length of the top, and I think it was just right.  I'm really not used to wearing cropped tops, but it really is a nice design and change of pace.  I think I will definitely make another one of these.

And, as for me:

One of the things I ALWAYS do at the completion of a project is return all pattern pieces to it's envelope - in the case of this PDF pattern it's zip lock bag.  But since the pattern was still out, I thought I'd give it another go.

Fitting the two pattern pieces on this remnant so they would match was a little tricky due to the really large repeat of the print - It worked with a little maneuvering.  Another flowy rayon challis remnant left over from a top I made as a gift for a co-worker at the end of last summer that I could not bear discarding.
