Simplicity 1072 Blue Sequin Top

I know I am suppose to be sewing "new" patterns, but I wanted another one of the Simplicity 1072 tops.  I "improved" the pattern a little to fit me a little better.  I took in at the side seams and the sleeves so the shirt didn't look so big on me.  Believe me I haven't lost any weight.........

The blue sequin fabric was a little bit tricky to sew.  I went through 3 needles on the serger.  It was worth it though.  I REALLY like this version of the top.

 I did add the band at the waist for this version.  I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but I do....I really do!

I had a few yards of black poly/rayon nylon ponte knit from Fabric Mart left over that I used for the sides, back and sleeves. 

This version of the Simplicity 1072 top was under $10.00!  $9.92 to be exact.  But whose counting?

I am waiting for the cooler weather to get here so that I can "show off" my new top!

Until next time.......................
