    Love this, it's super cute and summer. Another MM (Must Make) for me! Just liked New Look on FB, and hope to win this pattern because I'm going to make one in every color. LOL! Thanks for your generosity Mimi G and New Look.

    Love, love, love your style. I bought a sewing machine years ago and have only used it to make throw pillows and easy stuff for the house. Your looks inspire me to step my game up to clothing. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you Mimi for sharing your knowledge! I am a new sewer and thanks to your clarity and simple approach, I've been able to learn so much (and there's so much to learn!). As for this pattern- FAB, FAB, FAB!!!!! The possibilities are endless with this top- jeans, pencil skirt, pants etc. Thank you again for being such a blessing to me and the countless others' out there :) Oh yeah, where can a girl go to download your duct tape dress form tut? When it was accessible, I went to purchase the download and found that I couldn't. Thank you again Mimi!!!

    THANKS for the nice video! Please count this as my entry. Also liked on face book. :-)

    As always looks nice on you. We could really use some spring inspiration on the East Coast. I like your version and glad to hear you can use various fabrics.

    Your descriptions are always through. :-)

    Hi Mimi,

    Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do! My current project involves redoing my patio furniture cushions and accent pillows. I'm looking forward sewing more clothing and cute purses in the near future. This pattern is super cute and so current!!!! Crossing my fingers.

    Love how you can take a fairly plain top pattern, and make it look so stylish! And in such a short amount of time, just brilliant. Would love it if you could pop my name in the draw for a copy of this pattern...J

    I just finished my first garment with your help in the free sewing class. Made a very cute, store-bought-looking a-line skirt in purple ikat fabric. This top is adorable. Would love to have the pattern for my 2nd Mimi G project. Hope I win it! Girl, thanks so much for the free class. I'm loving to sew because of your help!

    Such a cute top!! I don't think I would have looked twice at this pattern. Seeing yours makes me want one! I have some silk that I bought at Mood in LA last summer. I think this would be perfect for that fabric.

    omg I am loving this top. Mimi you have so inspired me to try sewing again. I even went out this weekend and bought a book on sewing! I'm so excited. I have a lot of quilting cotton (I mean a lot) and would love to know if some of the tops you sew, especially this one, would be ok sewn in this type of fabric. Also it would be soooooo cool if we could see some video snippets of you making some of your items. Just saying cause I so loved your skirt tutorials. thanks and happy sewing

    love your style, so jealous that you have such amazing weather as our spring let alone summer has not yet started in a very cold England. You have inspired me to do some sewing after not having made anything for quite a few years. Really look forward to your posts and advise. Thank you
