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!

Happy Sewing,

What a beautiful blue on you! This style is a great fit too. I miss the Hobby Lobby that was close by (now it's a 25 min drive in the wrong direction)! I've been surprised by fabric I've seen there as well.
