This top is amazing! I love it to much and my girls wear it all the time. I have two girls and I’ve now made each of them two tops plus one dress for the little one. I also made two more tops for my daughter and niece for the 4th of July by up-cycling American Flag T-Shirts. They’re so cute! Thanks for a great and versatile pattern!

Adorable pattern! If you have the spoxxy, you will love this mini me version for girls. If you don’t have the spoxxy, well, pick it up too…you won’t regret it. Happy sewing 🙂

I made the Artemis top for my friend’s kids and they loved them. So easy to make and I love that it has a dress option. She has requested that I make more.

Excellent pattern!! SO SO versatile – I love that you have the option of sewing it as a top or as a dress. The gathered yoke is a professional looking feature too. It’s a must have for your tomboy or girly girl!!

this dress turns out adorable in every option! I was nervous to try it but once I did I know I’m going to me making lots more.

This is my go to dress! The three layers do take up a bit a fabric but the results are well worth it! It can also be made with just one or two of the skirt layers.

This is my go to dress and shirt pattern for girls. It is adorable and very easy to follow the pattern! Plus you can make them look casual or more dressy depending on fabric choices. Great pattern!

Absolutely one of the cutest dress patterns I’ve used. Easy sew and I love all the options in this pattern. Thank you

This is seriously ridiculously adorable. It takes a little more time than I a basic tank top, but the finished product is worth it. I’ve made both the tank top and the dress.

I haven’t made the dress version, but I have made the tank top and I love how it looks and fits my daughter! The back detail is so pretty and I have the Spoxxy (the women’s version) so I can match my daughter. Instructions are very easy to follow and pattern prints and pieces together perfectly.

I love the fit of this tank top with the racer back. I also like using it for mommy and me tank tops with the Spoxxy. Directions were easy to follow and everything came together nicely.
