When I find a pattern I love, boy do I make use of it. I absolutely love McCall's 6752. Every variation, this would be my third and I have another cut out and ready to be sewn up. Not sure where I got the fabric, its a couple of years old. It is a very soft Jersey knit with a little shine to it.
This top actually took me a little longer than it should have. I have such a time hemming knits and I took out the hem about 3 times. I even nicked it a couple of times and had to use some stitchery witchery to fix it. But all in all I am pleased, and I got several compliments when I wore it to the office.

With each garment I complete, my confidence level grows. I am so excited about moving on to the next.
Happy Creating!
The top does look nice Melanie - just enough drap to flatter but not enough to flop and droop. Colour is gorgeous on you as well :)
