I dropped by my local fabric store, and wouldn't you know it, they were having a pattern sale. I started flipping through the simplicity catalog and saw this one.
It reminded me so much of a top that I already have. See? This picture was taken last June:
This is a top that I wear all the time, but it is beginning to show some wear and tear. I was thinking of taking the top apart to get a pattern together. Now I don't have to because I have a pattern for the exact top.
Hahaha.... excuse the cheesy grin. I was trying to distract you from the bad hair. Gaaaahhhhh!
The fabric looks similar, but it's actually a blue-ish green hue.

This one is a little tight around the shoulders. I have small bust but wide shoulders, so I will have to make some adjustments to subsequent tops.
It is quite a good beginner top to make, save for the gathered bit right at the sleeve seam. I will write up a formal review on patternreview.com and link it here.
Whoop de dooo! I'm pretty jazzed that I sewed something, even though it's a simple top.
edit: Detailed review is here. Thanks!

It looks fantastic! I am so tempted to give that pattern a try. I am always so scared to sew clothes for myself, but I think I could do it! Can't wait for your review.
Yay for you! So nice to have time to make something :)
So cute. I haven't been sewing a lot lately, so it does feel great when you get a chance to sew again!
Also, I don't know if I commented before, but I loved your Halloween costume!
It's wonderful and you should be proud. Even if it was simple. Maybe your just that good!
Love it! And you look gorgeous in it!
This is such a cute top, and I adore the longer sleeve. Thankyou so much for taking the time to write a review!
That looks great! I am loving the color. And what bad hair day?
