I'm still not finished with the Summer Dress Challenge. I took a good look at the projects started way back when and decided I needed to do some damage control. No more UFO's. This top and several others were sitting in the bag.
I needed/wanted a new top to wear to a baby shower on Saturday afternoon. So I quickly sewed up this one. Yes quickly. It took about two hours.
M6078
Pattern Description: Misses' tops: Top A has front and back stitched pleats, front drape, lapped back and extended shoulder seams; top B has stitched front pleats and drape; top C has front drape and contrast loops.
Pattern Sizing: Sizes X-Small to X-Large; I made size M; view C.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes. I didn't make contrasting loops.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. All levels can make this top.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the drape neckline and the ease of making this top. Dislike: None.
Fabric Used: A four way stretch knit from Vogue. This was in my stash.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I only added 1/2" to the side seams and a few inches to the length. For the side seams I slightly tapered in after the bust area through the waistline.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I plan to make the another views. When I don't know. I still have a bag of knit tops to sew plus a few dresses. But I recommend it to everyone. It's easy to sew and comfort to wear. No fuss and stylish. You can't beat that.
Conclusion: This a stylish top that is easy to sew. A beginner can make this with no problems.

I l.o.v.e. this top. Easy and stylish - perfect! Your fabric is just beautiful - and so summery.
Your top fits so perfectly!
Do you use a serger or a regular sewing machine? I want to make knit stuff, but i don't know what i am doing wrong.
Hi Barb, I use both. But for knit fabric you don't have to worry about fraying. Most of the time I serge the seams allowance closed.
Thanks,
Cennetta
