I was determined to complete my third top today because as we all know - the work week starts tomorrow.  Plan my weekday evenings as I may, the bulk of my sewing happens on the weekend.

I reached back for an oldie but goodie, Simplicity4147 mainly because I've made it twice before and it's summer cute.  My perfectionism didn't kick in too badly today so I was able to get this completed pretty quickly - plus, I didn't have to search too far to find the pattern.

All in all it was a great week for the #2018TopsThatPop Sew-a-long.  Looking forward to seeing lots and lots of new tops popping up during week two.
