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

Beautiful top Lori! I love your fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric and the top is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePretty 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.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I have that pattern pulled! Now to find the perfect floral knit.... Have to find the perfect floral knit....
ReplyDeleteWhats not to love, you look great in it. Beth Conky
ReplyDeleteLovely, as always. You do manage to whip out these knit tops oh, so quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in this, Lori! I love the shots of the garden- really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMust try the cross over version. I've made about six of the round neck over the years.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice match up of fabric and pattern. I love the cheerful blue in this print.
ReplyDeleteAnother great top, Lori. That color looks great on you. Beautiful flowers, too!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job in recreating it. I have a few of those tops from CAbi, and yes...you can make them MUCH cheaper. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, too! I still can't believe you moved all that mulch by yourself. You must have biceps of steel from all that!
I know why you keep making this top over and over because it looks so great on you!!

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!!
