Here's a knit top I made several months ago in anticipation of summer. It was wishful thinking then, big time, BUT summer is finally here.
The pattern is Simplicity 3882, view D, the one in the scary red camo print. As much as I love camo, I opted instead for a solid gray-ish lilac-ish knit that I picked up a while ago from the thrift store.
I did add 3 inches to the hemline, and if (when?) I make this one again, I'll add some length to the bust pieces, too. There was just about no fabric to work with to make the casing under the bust.
Overall, it's a quick sew, and quite comfy, too, especially for sitting around pretending I'm going to teach myself pattern drafting.

Your top is lovely and good luck on your pattern endeavors...I am excited to see what you come up with!
Very cute top. I might have to pick up that pattern. I'm just starting to sew again after a 5 year hiatus. Good luck with your pattern making!
Ahh, me too, I'd like to teach myself pattern drafting ... don't have a lovely top to lounge around in while doing so, 'tho! The bust line looks like a perfect fit from the photo, and the colour's very calming ;)
