I love the Brenda top! I have made three versions so far, and I love how I can get different looks by using different fabrics. I am an intermediate sewer, and I am able to complete the pattern with no issues. Next step is to buy the bundle and make a matching one for my daughter!

This is the perfect pattern for fall! I was intimidated looking at all of the beautiful photos of the completed shirts, but once I got started I realized the directions were very simple to follow. Thank you for such a well thought out and fashionable pattern!

The Brenda top is fantastic! It was so easy to sew, the directions are very clear, and I was able to make my first faux button down shirt! I have at least 5 more Brenda tops planned for fall and winter. Thank you for an amazing pattern!

This pattern is hands down my favorite! A great look that can be dressed up and down. It was an easy and fast sew. The button and tie make you think it would be complicated buts itβs so easy!!
