Description
This is a top that was supposed to be JJ’s leg of mutton top, but the fabric split at the elbow when I put it on!!! Must be all that spinach. So I took half the arms off and it inspired me to play around with the pattern some more, see my “button me up”.

This is the best version of this top ive seen, now i actually want to make it! It fits you perfectly (except for the sleeves obviously, lol) Good Job!!

I comisserate. So many shirts have far too tight sleeves. I was a swimmer and now do triathlons and so many things fit me in the torso but not the arms! I very much like the short version. the posts of this top have convinced me I must make it myself. short sleeved- and loose-sleeved of course! The fit you have sewn is very flattering. Excellent work!

I like it. Too bad you had problems with the sleeves!

Ooo, I really like the structure of the shirt and I think I may even like the short sleeves better!

I’m still giggling over your spinach comment, but let me see if I can type anyway:) The shirt looks so cute on you, and you did a beautiful job on the gathering and pleats. That was a “good save” on shortening the sleeves. And I did look at your “button me up” shirt! Cool!
