honestly, it took longer for me to draft the pattern than it did to sew, but I saw this as something I could make for year-round use, in solids and prints, so I didn’t mind.
It wasn’t HARD to draft, but it did take me about and hour and a half.
I copied the blog entry into a word document, enlarged the pics/diagrams and printed it out, so I could have it right on my table w/ me.
Also, after I took my measurements, I went thru the whole instructions and did all the math necessary and wrote down all those figures before starting, rather than doing it as I went a long.

Lovely top. I saw this recently on Weekend Designer and want to have a go at making it. Was the jersey hard to work with?

no, I just used a lot of pins!! The fusible stabilizer on the hems was tricky as was the fusible interfacing on the collar. Make sure you iron the fabric side (with a pressing cloth) when fusing them, or else they will make wrinkles!! ack!!
Also, I added two inches to the sleeve and the collar after drafting according to the designers instructions
