Notes	I've made this pattern several times in the past but that was a while ago and my size has changed since so I printed it again to my new measurements. I forgot that it was too short (ends barely below my waistline without any hemming) so I had to add a 5 cm band at the bottom for the hem. The arms also need a little more length, I haven't hemmed them yet. The fabric is a stretch sweatshirt material, with decent stretch but maybe not as much as t-shirt material so I had to add a little to the neckband too. That's mentioned in the pattern but I forgot that I always add a few cm to my neck circumference in the saved sizes because I've found that they are always too tight.

This is often the case, with tops being too short, I always check beforehand. I am short, but the tops can still be quite short on me. Anyhow, nice job with this one!
