ANNOUNCEMENT...

...LETS MAKE A FEW ESSENTIAL TOPS TO MAKE OUR OUTFITS POP!

To borrow Phadra's words, "Everybody knows" how I feel about TOPS.  They are:

• such an easy way to add some excitement and color to existing wardrobe pieces
• easy to make (most times)
• a great way to wake up sleepy sewing motivation

So since SPRING officially arrives this week, what a great time to announce the

Yeah me!  I made my first real blog button!

 

I know you already have some styles in mind, and I do so hope you'll join me for this years top sew-a-long.  It's been so much fun in the past with a great number of tops being born into the world.

Here's the particulars if you think you can join up:

• The sew-a-long will start next Sunday and run for two weeks (March 24th through April 7th)
• Any style top will qualify (sewing pattern of your choice, self-draft or refashion)
• THERE ARE NO QUOTAS
• You can even participate if you don't have a blog, just email me your pictures and I will display.  

 What you need to do to sign up and participate:

• Leave a comment on this post indicating that you'd like to participate
• Include your blog url
• Post the 2013 Top Sew-A-Long button on your blog that links back to my blog if possible. 

• NOTE:  I will no longer be able to open  separate blogs for sew-a-longs due to Google picture storage limitations.   Instead I ask that you notify  me (by a comment here on my blog, or by email) when your finished top is posted, and I will add your pictures to the grande finale at the end of the sew-along. My email address is listed on the sidebar if needed. 

   So come one, come all!  Let's put some of those Pantone Spring colors in our closets...
