Misses Top (Newlook 6816)

Well hello again! I know it's been ages since I last posted but I'm back!
I've almost finished all of my exams. I've got one more, tomorrow and then I can well and truly welcome in the summer.

Today I wanted to share a top that I started to make a while ago, with a piece of fabric that was only 20p. When I started making this top, I was completely in love with this pattern and to be honest, I still am. If you want to see the first Newlook 6816 top that I made, you can find the post here.
This top has been lying in my to do pile for a good couple of years however I finally got around to finishing it when I went to this craft evening.
I pretty much followed the pattern to the letter, except for the fact that I added in a jersey strip along the back, as otherwise the neck hole would have been too wide. I do really like the way that this top turned out, however if I do regret not being able to pattern match the sides, due to not having enough of the fabric.
Overall this pattern is great for an easy sew, that has nice wearable outcomes.
I hope this has inspired you!
