You can go to the Spring Top Week Sewalong pool to comment on any of these lovely creations or to submit a top of your own. It’s not too late! But Thursday at 9 pm EST is your last chance to submit a top, so the deadline’s almost here!
Didn’t see yours today? Check back again tomorrow or Friday; I’m spreading out the tops out over the week.
Also: make sure that if you want it posted on the blog you have:
1) Sent me an email with your name, top info and blog link, and
2) Put your image on Flickr
I still have not received emails for some of the tops in the pool — please do that so I know you’d like to be featured on the blog.

- @sewfearless liberty of london is a manufacturer, and they make knits, cord, but I think their cotton lawn is probably the most popular
- New top for me made with Liberty lawn. Do you like it? http://t.co/3HVSYXow http://t.co/zSa3jHNC

Yay! Thanks for including me– now I want to make more!
Wooooooho, thank you so much for including me! I just bought fabric for more spring sewing
I guess I should add a note about Jalie since it’s new to you- they are such a kickass pattern company!
http://www.jalie.com/My favorites are the twinset pattern, since knit cardigans are nice for layering, and the sweetheart neckline top. The neat thing is that every size, kids to adults, is in one pattern envelope, so you can buy one pattern and make it for everyone. Once you use their knit patterns, it’s hard to go use any other line of knit patterns. Hope that helps a bit! I’m a bit of a Jalie nut, I love spreading the word about them.
Yay! Thanks for posting my top. I’m so proud of it.
Thanks so much for including me! I hope to make many more Spring/Summer tops and this is a great resource.
