Simplicity 4076 (again I know)

I will have to count up the number of times I have used this pattern, it is one of my favorites for knit shirts.
Lynne and have been emailing about some RTW garments, she had some great ideas for pattern suggestions.  For a top on the Cabi site, she suggested Simplicity 4076
I used the crossover view but changed it so both sides had the ruching.  This is such a quick top to make.  Here it is

  3. Pretty top and could use a few. I enjoy seeing a multitude of garments from the same pattern. Different prints & fabrics always render a different look.

  8. Must try the cross over version. I've made about six of the round neck over the years.

  11. You did a great job in recreating it. I have a few of those tops from CAbi, and yes...you can make them MUCH cheaper. :)

    Beautiful flowers, too! I still can't believe you moved all that mulch by yourself. You must have biceps of steel from all that!

  13. Lori, did you have to alter the sleeves at all? I just made this up (the gathered front view), using the same sleeves and mine appear much shorter and don't hug the arm as much. Yours turned out really great--I wish mine were as nice!!
