I'm happy to say I have another entry for the "Tops That Pop" Sew-long at Faye's Sewing Adventure blog. I grabbed my BFF pattern, The Georgia Top by BlueDotPatterns to make a piece that's a quick and easy to wear addition to my wardrobe. This is a black and pale aqua rayon jersey that is soft and easy to sew. The Georgia Top is just about the fastest top you could ever hope to put together. I cut it out and made it on the serger in less that 1 1/2 hours. Can't beat that! I have one more top coming for "Tops That Pop" and don't forget to check out all of the fun things people are making.
Happy Sewing!

Faye at Faye's Sewing Adventures has a "Tops That Pop" sew-along that I joined. The guidelines are pretty simple, make a top by April 30th and she posts it on her blog. It's a perfect sew along for now because spring and summer tops are easy and fun to make. She posts a few projects every day and people are making some great stuff. Lots of cold-shoulder looks and fun prints. It's really inspiring....check it out and the Pinterest board too. I made the True Bias Sutton Blouse and it's been perfect. I've been wanting a simple t-shirt type tunic, simple but not too simple and this fits the bill perfectly. I made it out of a rayon challis I picked up at Hobby Lobby of all places. I normally just pop in there for notions or patterns but I walked by this and stopped. It's a lovely color and so so soft. It's not easy to see but the Sutton Blouse has a yoke that extends from the front to the back so doing variations on this pattern would be really fun. It has a high/low hem but it would also be nice as a long tunic. This is a don't miss pattern friends. It can build up your wardrobe pretty quickly. I made two more tops for the sew along but I've yet to photo them. I better get to it! Thanks Faye!
