Each spring I host the Spring Top Sewalong, an online sewalong and contest for readers that is designed to encourage selfish-sewing. The idea is pretty simple: make a top for yourself and add a photo of your top to the entry pool (which is always fun to look through!) and a panel of judges and reader votes help us narrow down to the winners!
