Welcome to My Sewing Room

Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions

When I tested this pattern back in 2023, I gave it the “Sew Mary Mac” stamp of approval! I stick by that still!. The Lenox Top and Dress pattern is the $6 Feature Friday pattern today, 9/12/25. You use my code 10MARYMAC for an additional 10% off.

For complete details on how I did this~ visit this blog post. On this post you will also see other examples of the Lenox top that I made during testing.
