That must be the best, cut, sew, make adjustments and have a top in hours. Amazing!!!😱👍🏾👍🏾

[@flourishfaithfiber]

I love the neck band that you added.

[@GoSewBeautiful]

Lovely! and so nice to not have to worry about the front gaping open. You are so talented at making things work the way you want them!

[@charity.cunningham8313]

I love the way you made it your own, and how you showed, and explained, all of the alterations!🥰 Your practicality is amazing, and it takes the fear out of trying new things!😀 Thank you for sharing your beautiful makes and ideas!💖

[@janiewilliams5803]

You are such a good seamstress and teacher. Thank you for sharing all your tips.....so helpful! I did some knit sewing about 30 years ago. You are giving me wonderful instructions and confidence to work with knits again, (after years of quilting). Thank you!

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Absolutely love your pattern hack for this one. I originally bypassed this pattern because I didn’t like the waist. Didn’t know there was an additional waistband now. Love it as a summer top!

[@rosemaryfrew5571]

Thank you. I am a bit busty,so this adjustment is going to help a lot.

[@sewlovemydogs]

I avoid crossover patterns because the gaping at the front always spoilt the look. At last you have solved the problem and I can’t wait to do your version, thank you soooo much for sharing 🥰🌹

[@joannecava2418]

Beautiful top! I love that you use diff fabric. More options!

[@alexismather6485]

I think I won't need the pattern...then I see you make it beautifully and just have to buy it! I have used your link. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@annas.5894]

Love this. The hem band makes this far more attractive than the elastic bottom and I think the band you added around the neckline is so nice.. I did buy this through your link- I’m new to sewing knits so this will be a perfect learning project. Thanks!

[@joanhughes3693]

Your changes were so helpful! I have some fabric that I think would work well for pattern in a shirt version. I already had this pattern, but hadn't thought of using it this way. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@st4y-c4lm44]

Love the fabric.

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Beautiful top with such flattering fit & lots of great tips as always, thanks Karina! Love your channel!

[@sarahdeason493]

Turned out lovely ❣

[@angienorman5974]

Thank you for sharing that hack! I’m going to try it in a light weight sweater that I don’t have to layer which I feel adds bulk.

[@sewaldodiy]

It's a beautiful top the fabric print is nice too!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kellykranz7652]

I love it. It looks so pretty on you. I bought It today with your link. I'm excited to make the serenity sweater. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it and I love your ideas. Happy Sewing

[@chrischevalier1980]

Love your style. I made the original pattern, but thought it was a little short for my figure, so I was super excited to see they added the hem band. I love your thought about the neck band, going to copy that look only with long sleeves (winter in Michigan). This will be a perfect alternative to my tee shirt staple. Also can see me making the short sleeve version this summer.

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

I learn so much from you Karina! I love the changes you made!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks! I love creating a garment exactly how I want it to be :)

[@orcillalamprechtsews]

WOW beautiful fabric and I love the pattern... nicely done🧵

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@code798]

Last year I still doubted it and didn't buy it during the sale. What can I say, I was annoyed afterwards. And somehow this pattern was always in the back of my mind. Now I saw today that it's available again and I bought it right away. With your link, of course. Thank you for your great video! It's nice to be able to support you like this. 😻

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I have a new video coming in a few minutes. I made two more :)

[@code798]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles i am excited 😎🥳

[@bettyp51]

It's a perfect fit on you! I can see the excitement in your face! Great job!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’d never made a top like this and I’m happy to find a new style I like :)

[@nataliemuy]

Thank you so much for this! I’m going to make a few of these as a staple for my work clothing

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Awesome! It’s a super cute style :)

[@Escape10mom]

Another fantastic make as usual Karina!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much 😊

[@amyoungil]

How pretty! Looks terrific on you! Thanks for the tips.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’m glad you liked them 😀

[@suzanneblack6873]

I just received 4 sweater knits. Now I know what to make with them. Pattern ordered!!!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Awesome 👏🏼. All the ones I’ve seen look so nice in sweater knit.

[@lesleahaynes8510]

I have this pattern. Thank you for showing me the neckband option. I’ll be making this for sure.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Super simple :)

[@helenhart4778]

I didnt think i would like this as it needed something underneath, but having watched you this will now make a very nice top thank you for sharing and i will be keeping your tutorial handy for references lol

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Just the thought of layering makes me even hotter so this is so nice. Just on its own :)

[@AbbyOssmann]

Brilliant as usual! Just bought the pattern with the link.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I hope you enjoy 😉

[@mecraftytoo]

Love this, used your link to order think I will be making the version with the band. Love your fabric it looks good on you, a perfect fit.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thanks! I have a black rayon french terry that will be perfect too :)

[@susankidd9963]

Love the fabric and the top it fits you perfectly you have made such a good job of the alterations very clever.Do you have any tutorials for altering a slashed neck so that you don’t see a bra strap I am making the Zoe dress and some ladies have said the neck is a bit wide hope you don’t mind me asking.😀

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

What brand is the Zoe dress you mention?

[@susankidd9963]

Lifting Pins and Needles The Zoe dress is by Simple Sew it is the first pattern my husband and I successfully printed off😂 I could wear it with a fine top underneath in the winter but I think it would make a nice easy dress for summer but I hate it when wide necks go to one side and show the bra strap especially when you are an old girl ha ha.x

[@cathtaylor2771]

Thankyou Karina, if I wanted more coverage on the front, I’m quite busty. How would I extend it a little more than what you have and still make the top and bottom bits still match up. X

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I’d just extend the crossover to reach the whole side seam. The full bust option would cross over more anyway. Mine is the regular bust option.

[@cathtaylor2771]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thankyou very much, I appreciate it x

[@johannevinet5083]

I love this fabric. It is not outrageous and would make a wrap dress. 😂

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s very hard to go unnoticed with this one 😊
