super cute top. I can’t wait to make it, but when I click on the the link to get the pdf pattern it doesn’t show up. Could you send it to me? Thanks

Hi,
I am a beginner sewer and started this top since it seemed relatively easy. I am having difficulty creating boat neck – step 5, when I overlap neckline edges 4” and stitch the boat-neck, the back side of the top doesn’t scoop much and kind of rides up to my neck from behind, am I doing anything wrong? Could you please post pictures of the top from inside showing the boat neck? BTW I also curved in the side seams and it looks so cute already… except for the boat neck
Thanks
NJ

Has anyone had trouble opening the pdf? I received a pop-up message that there was an error with the document and to contact the creator. It opened, but the first and third pages were blank except for the footer (and the title on the first page). It’s such a cute top though, just the style I’ve been looking for.

This was great! I made TWO of these since yesterday during my baby’s naps. SO easy! I had linen fabric in my stash so I now have a pale blue one and a natural one. I used the measurements given and it fit well for me and I’m a size 13/14. It’s a forgiving fit considering I still have a post baby belly. It does sit a little sack-like though, so I curved in the side seams about 2 inches on each side and it has a nicer, slimmer fit that way, making it look like I have more of a waist. On my second shirt, I made the front piece 13 inches at the top and the back piece 11 inches…this gives a little more scoop to the front. Over all, great pattern and really fun to play with.
