A very quick and easy top to make. I only ran into trouble sewing in the sleeves - probably because I had never done it before, plus I had wanted to sew the sleeves in flat but forgot until after I had already sewed up the side seams.
So, I sewed them in round (?), which was a bit tricky. I used my serger for all the construction except the hems, for which I used a twin needle on my sewing machine. It's a bit on the loose side, even though I am between sizes according to my measurements and made the smaller size. It is wearable, but I think for the next one I might try some adjustments - either making the next size down altogether or narrowing the shoulders and tummy area on this size. I will definitely be making this one again -- possibly another one of this view, and I'll definitely be making view C (the crossover style). This is the first top from my SWAP wardrobe. I had intended to wear it under a jumper or jacket, but I think the collar might be a bit too "stand out" for layering. We'll see. I will definitely get a lot of wear out of it on its own. Thanks for looking - comments, questions or suggestions are very welcome as usual!
