Popolok Designs Pattern Review and Giveaway!

Another awesome giveaway, you guys
(giveaway is now closed, thank you!!!)
 
I recently had the opportunity to pattern test for the lovely Alviana, the designer behind Popolok Designs.  Her patterns are refreshingly classic and so incredibly beautiful.  I am a total sucker for a Peter Pan collar, so when I saw her Cece Top and Dress Pattern, I immediately fell in love.   She emailed the pattern to me and in under 2 hours, I had created a beautiful new top for Ainsley.
Adorable right???  
This top can also be made with or without the collar, with or without the sleeves and you can also add a skirt to make it a dress! The top is fully lined and has a zipper enclosure on the back.  
The pattern and tutorial are perfectly clear and understandable.  She offers excellent pictures, detailing each step of the process.   
My only issue is that I need to size it up for Ainsley next time I make it.  It is a tad snug on her, but I think that might also be because she recently went through a major growth spurt. 
 
 Overall, this is a fantastic, wonderful, and beautiful pattern!
 
I LOVE the versatility!
Here is a picture directly from her Etsy shop , showing the different styles you can make from  just this one pattern.
 
One of you have the opportunity to win a 3 PDF pack of Popolok Designs Patterns!  Giveaway info is at the bottom of this post…
 
…but first, I have to share photos of Ainsley wearing her new Cece Top.  I chose to make hers a top with the sleeves and the collar. 
 
Ainsley saw it and said “Ooh, beautiful!”
 
….and finally…
 
Not only did I make the Cece Top, I also tested the Nova Top, which should be out next week
 
 Please go check out her designs!
Now, time for the giveaway!
Enter to win 3 of her PDF patterns!
giveaway starts March 19th and ends March 25th.
Good luck!
