I took this pic the other day but I made this a couple weeks ago. I'm in need of basic tops without them being tshirts soooooo, look out for more cute throw on tops lol.
Pattern Description: Loose-fitting tops A, B, C, D with front drape gathered into loop, dropped shoulder, seam details and stitched hems. A, B: sleeveless. C, D: short or long kimono type sleeves.
Pattern Sizing: 8-14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I've seen this top in various department stores and I wanted one lol. This pattern was an exact replica.

Fabric Used: Matte Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't hem the sleeves. I just made sure they were cut even.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will make this one again in a couple different colors.
Conclusion: Great not so basic top.
**This has been in my drafts forever** Oops, I forgot lol.
Great top Adrienne! I know what you mean about needing the basic tops!

I have this in my sewing room in red... just waiting to be hemmed. Yours looks great. Love the fabric you used.

Ok... that pattern never really appealed to me (maybe I just gloss over those with no photos) but now I realize I am finishing up a dress that is almost exactly the same. That looks like a great breezey top for summer.

You have done this much more justice than the pattern envelope! It's on the list.

Wow. That top does look exactly like the ones you found in the stores. Love when that happens. Cute.

Very cute top and so on trend!

That is adorable! You totally inspire me to sew more clothing! I've got to get that pattern!

I love this top too Adrienne! I made it last year August in a Hot Red Michael Kors Silk jersey. I've never made it again and don't know why! It's goregous in black too! Love your version and you've inspired me to pull out that pattern again!! Great Job and love your necklace!
Posted by: Myra | May 14, 2011 at 09:53 AM
Great top and I love the necklace you're wearing with it too. I can't believe you found so many versions of this top in the stores!

Love that top! Tops are something I need to make a lot of this summer.

Great basic top. It's very flattering.
Posted by: Beth Conkwright | May 16, 2011 at 12:35 PM
That looks REALLY fantastic on you and that necklace is just simply perfect with it! I've got several knit tops cut out now, because I too have gotten tired of wearing unflattering tee shirts, and I think this one needs to be added to the list.
Posted by: Colleen P. | May 16, 2011 at 03:03 PM
This is very figure flattering. Glad you will make more!
Posted by: Roz | May 16, 2011 at 10:28 PM
I like that top. It looks comfortable yet stylish.

Love the top Adrienne...Excellent job! :D

Such a cute top. It's very flattering on you. I'm definitely going to look for this pattern. I've seen the top in stores and was going to try to knock it off, but I love it when I don't have to put in the effort.

PR member "Leslie in Austin" was wearing this shirt in burnt orange at PR weekend--I really like both colors!!
Posted by: Kyle | May 18, 2011 at 08:25 PM
Hold up - I have this pattern, but have yet to pull it out. I love yours, so I need to get going on mine.
Gotta love a copy cat, huh? lol. I say, imitation is the highest form of flattery, so consider yourself flattered by me. lol

This is very nice top to beef up your wardrobe. I've seen it in stores too. I purchased this pattern last year. You and a few others are encouraging me to make a few myself. lol
Posted by: Cennetta | May 24, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Oh, so cute, going to have to make this one.

Loving all the pictures. Now I gotta get off the puter and get some housework done!

Love the top! I also need some tops like that - exactly as you said - not T shirts, but something you can throw on and wear easily.
Posted by: Robin | June 10, 2011 at 01:03 PM
What a great seamstress you are! It looks better than anything from the stores. I'm definitely going to buy this pattern for myself. You can make it for me, lol!
