Pattern Description:
Top with sweetheart neckline, gathering at bust, neckline bands and choice of three-quarter or cap sleeve.

Pattern Sizing:
Every size you'd ever need!

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, very much so.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, they where. The only thing I struggled with is placing the elastic but I got around this by tacking the ends in place before sewing.

Fabric Used:Jersey bought from ebay.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Nothing major, just had to take about 1 1/2" of the sleeves and 2" of the hem.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the style and the wide size range means the fit is perfect (well apart from the length

). It's also very quick to sew and you need very little fabric.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and yes. I have made 4 different versions of this top and I'm sure I'll sew it again. For a picture of one of the other versions click here.

Conclusion:
Very nice top and quick to make, definitely deserves the best pattern award!
