Thanks! Can you see the photos? I can't see it from main creation page... I am posting the photo of this top to see if anybody likes it because I plan to do a how to on drafing this top. I will only upload the pattern in one size (bust 32") because I can't do grading part, it's way too hard and take too much of my time.

Another fab top! I love it. You are really talented and should post the pattern! I love your style. I find most tops drown me and wish i could draft my own patterns.

way too busy for loads of sewing

I love it! Those sleeve are gorgeous, and I also like the gathers on the body. Having an A-cup myself, I'm familiar with that kind of shaping ;) but I really like the unusual way you've done it here (not making an underbust cross seam, but a panel). What kind of neckline did you make? It looks like a cowl neck cut with the body pieces

Good to here all the feedback, I sometimes really doubt my taste. Thank you so much for very kind compliments. I will upload the pattern and how to on Tue. It's not hard at all, you can finish this top in one day from start to finish that why I keep collar un- complicated. Lauriana, it is a straight line from shoulder, another word ...fake turtleneck. Make as high as you want and wear it different way, fold half way, fold lower, higher etc.. It will work with boat neck style too.

sewing up some knit dresses

love it~ love the bust ruching and the sleeve, is it one-piece sleeve? very special curves!

thinking about a skirt

I love the neck part that you call "fake turtleneck" it looks so good without any seams there. Great job. It is very elegant!

this is absolutely lovely! brilliant pattern jj, you did it again! (i'm just about to finish your blouse) and YES, i want the pattern, please, please! (I have no problem in sizing it up for myself)

Yes, it is one piece sleeve! It's called leg o mutton, very old fashion stlye but making it in knit, it is wearable, don't you think?
