2017 TOPS THAT POP SEW-A-LONG - ONE AMAZING RIDE!!!

...yes, the 2017 Top That Pop Sew-a-long has been ONE AMAZING RIDE!!!  At the beginning I  only hoped that participation would be good. After seeing the response, participation and support it has been more than I could have ever dreamed.  My hat is off to each and ever one who made and submitted top photos; and those who wanted to participate but couldn't.  We know that circumstances sometimes keep us from doing as planned.
PLEASE NOTE:  I WILL KEEP POSTING ANY TOP SUBMITTED BY EMAIL ATTACHMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK
THIS HAS BEEN A WIN, WIN SITUATION for us all.  We can all pull out a brand new top, pair it with an existing skirt or pant and  a new outfit has been added to our collections - its magical!

I'm hoping to make this an annual event and would be happy if each and everyone would plan on joining me for the 2018 Tops That Pop Sew-a-long.  But in the meantime this years event is not quite over
