Well, I'm bursting at the seams to tell you all about the Drop Top by Madeit Patterns today -- I've already worn my Drop top multiple times and can't wait to make more. In fact, I've made two versions already and they've been lifesavers for Thanksgiving dinner and a book event. It's just the right blend of elevated casual with loads of ... Read more
