I have made this pattern several times and even have another review of it here on PR. I just can't say enough good things about it! It is a downloadable pattern and only $6 from the Sewing Workshop website. There is not really a picture of the pattern on the site but of one top made up.
I needed something to wear to a holiday cocktail party last weekend and wanted a red top to wear over some black trousers and turtleneck that I already had. This pattern turned out to be the perfect solution! I had already altered it to fit me better---making it longer and the arm openings bigger for the vest version. I was able to cut it out and make it up in under an hour! The edges are unfinished and by using a good double-knit and cutting it out with a rotary cutter they are perfectly smooth and don't curl up like single knits do.

I have been looking for an easy pattern like this. Thanks

I have three of these, from winter 2011.. and still get complements when I wear them. I made the top longer by extending the center back a few inches by curving the hem, and made the sleeves several inches longer as well. Great results and a fun thing to sew FAST!

Made several of these last year in fancy fabrics for our annual Christmas auction. Normally, I wouldn't have made garments for an auction but made mine in a knit with sleeves so they looked good on many ladies.
