Notes I have a lot of scrap knits that aren't big enough for a whole garment (even a tank top) so I decided to combine them into one. This model is perfect for this because it has many pieces. The front and back yokes are solid ponte knit and the rest are colorful miscellaneous jersey prints/stripes. I like the way it looks but the arms are a too tight and the hips a little big for my liking. I might try this model again but with fabric with more elastane content (at least for the sleeves) and take in at the hips.

I had a hard time taking photo of the back; it's got solid green ponte for the yoke and the same red/green/blue print (same as one of the sleeves) on the lower back.

    You have done a lovely job. I certainly will make the top as well but keep in mind the narrow arms. Thank you for commenting the pattern.

    Great way to use up scraps! I agree with you that the arms are tight. Its such a cute pattern that I wanted it to work so badly lol. I may try again with clear elastic in the top of the yoke part that buckles forward. (I myself have poor posture as well). I did my back piece all one piece. I did look at the instructions and they are still the same as when I first made mine. I wonder if making the front yoke slightly shorter in the middle so it doesn't buckle..... maybe. Needs work for sure.
    I love the stripes in yours. I might have to try stripes next! thanks for the comment on my project!
