Pattern Description: Vogue 1020 close-fitting top with side ruching.
Pattern Sizing: 6-12. I made a 10.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing? Yes.
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn’t really follow the instructions. After joining the shoulders (I serged all of the seams), I sewed the sleeves in flat. (Now I wish had gone back and done the collar before the sleeves.) Then I sewed up the shorter side and arm (nixing the zipper) and used clear elastic to gather the longer side. Then I machine-basted the other arm, and serged the whole length for the finish. I didn’t have any trouble with gaping at the neck, and I used a double needle to finish all of the hems.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the ruching, 3/4 length sleeves, and the length of the top.
Fabric Used: Cotton stretch jersey.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I omitted the zipper.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I might sew this again in black. I would highly recommend this top. It’s very easy and a good wardrobe builder.
I love it ! Very creative ! That's actually really cool Thanks.
what a flattering top!!
Why would a knit top necessitate a zipper? I like it the way it is. Color and fit are great!
I love the pink!
You look great and the color is pretty
I have this pattern, but have yet to make it. I like the color choice of your fabric. It gives it such a different feel from the pattern picture. Great job.
You look fabulous, girl! Love this top. I have this one in my collection too. I must try it.
Thanks!

I love pink. It is so feminine looking. Cute pattern.
What a really cute top! Hope you enjoy wearing it!
The top turned out really nice. I have this pattern but haven’t tried it yet. Looks like its time for me to pull it out.
