Sizes:6 to 22
Fabric: Rayon-lycra knit purchased from a Fabric Warehouse.
Likes/Dislikes: Well, if you have followed my blog, I am into the cowl necklines. I also liked the neckline shape, a bit different but still covers the bra straps. The drape of the neckline ( I made the cowl neckline)
A dislike is the pleated sleeves (so I omitted)
Instructions: Very good, easy to follow especially the yoke front (illustrations most helpful on the pattern insturctions)
Changes: Added length about 1", used the sleeve pattern from another Simplicity knit top so I didn't have the pleated sleeves. I didn't particularly like the look of the pleated sleeve and didn't want to take that much time.
Conclusion: A great new top, very comfortable, stylish and looks pretty good. I had made this for Erin but when I tried it on, decided to keep for myself!

Nice top Lori. I like it in the stripe, and good call on the sleeves. :)
ReplyDeleteCute as can be! And warm enough outside to go coatless!
ReplyDeleteThe neckline is very flattering. I'm going to have a closer look at this patter!
ReplyDeletegreat basic....and you know stripes are hot for Spring! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the choice of the stripes for this one! I hadn't bought this pattern yet because I thought the sleeves were too fussy for a knit. Never thought about replacing them with another sleeve pattern! Great top- and isn't it great that we can take pictures outside in January??
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes!
ReplyDeleteYour blog wasn't letting me leave comments - but I fooled it this time!
ReplyDeleteWonderful top. You must be the queen of knit tops. You pop the out so fast, so well!
Another great top. But I wouldn't expect anything less from you Lori!
