Pattern Description: Misses sleeveless knit wrap tops, cowl neck with or without flounce sleeves

Pattern Sizing: Size 8-18

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I made View B and yes it looks like it

Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't look at them because they were not in the envelope. When I purchased the pattern, I didn't think to look inside to make sure the instructions were in there but the top is super simple so I really didn't need them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the neckline; no dislikes

Fabric Used: A very soft, drapey knit that I got at Joann Fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Since I have narrow shoulders, I cut a size 8 there and a 16 everywhere else.

I also cut the cowl part a little wider.

I used my coverstitch for the neckline in back, the armholes and hemming it.

The top's length was perfect for me but I am short so if you are taller than 5 foot, you may want to lengthen it.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will for sure sew this again and I highly recommend it.

Conclusion: I love, love, the way this little top turned out. If you want a cowl neck that is not too low cut in a short amount of time, this is the top for you!
