Downloading and printing was easy and the pattern and instructions were well written. I made a top that I love! I'll be using this pattern many more times.

The pattern has excellent instructions and a video. I reached out to Madeline with a few questions regarding a small alteration I wanted to possibly make to the pattern and she responded right away with very helpful tips and insight. I highly recommend Madswick adorable patterns!
