*****************************************************
This is very short review because I made the same top from the same pattern using the same techniques in a different fabric. The first, full original review can be found here .
*****************************************************

This is the third of five tops for the Fall 2009 Wardrobe Contest. It was quick and simple to put together. I used one yard of a really soft and buttery 100% cotton jersey from Fashionista Fabrics. The fabric quality at FF can't be beat!

I made two pattern alterations. I shortened the bodice front and back near the waistline. After trying on the top, I saw that it was still too long. So, I cut about 1" off of the hem. I also used a simple 5/8" hem. I also lengthened the sleeves about two inches. I have a love-hate relationship with cap sleeves. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I don't. =)

The entire top was constructed on a serger and coverstitch machine. I used twill tape in the shoulder seam allowance to prevent stretching.

Overall, this is a good pattern. With a bit more tweaking, this pattern will be my go-to for knit scooped-neck tees.
