Notes	I wanted a snug top with a high neckline to wear with my collection of lovely scarves during the colder weather. This dress pattern was perfect, just shortened a bit so I could wear it with leggings. I am very happy with the fit and the neckline. The back zipper was not needed due to the stretch of the fabric. I added a cuff section to the sleeves, which finishes them off nicely (and can be turned down to lengthen the sleeves if I wish). The fabric is a heavyweight cotton jersey, which gives this quite a structured feel. The pattern was very quick and easy to sew.

Thank you for the detail in your project notes. I am pleased that this will not need a zip closure with a stretchy fabric - just what I needed to find out.
Also pleased to hear it is easy to make.

I love it, it was a great idea to short it as middle long top, I got to try, nice job!!!

Bedankt Tannie.
Ik ben erg blij met deze top, ik heb nu een andere, langere versie gemaakt. Ze zijn zo makkelijk te dragen!

Is leuk een jurk om te toveren tot shirt en doe dit zelf ook vaak.
Hij staat je heel leuk en de verandering aan de mouwen is een fijne optie oor als het wat kouder is.
