Long-sleeved Pullover Top: OOP Simplicity 2372

This project is a special request for a pullover top with long sleeves that could be worn with grey pants.  It has already been gifted.  

This top was created with out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 2372, a much-loved and used pattern around the workspace.  The short sleeved pattern piece was lengthened to create long sleeves.  The center front was placed on the fold eliminating the center front seam.  

Most of the work that went into this project are found in the pleats and darts.  Otherwise it is a simple project.  

The fabric is a gorgeous paisley print cotton sateen with some stretch.  I purchase this many, many moons ago from the discount section at Fabricland and there is still enough left-over to make a dress.  I didn't mind giving up a wee bit of it for this project.  It looks lovely in this fabric.  I can't find fabric like this, print, weight, texture, in the fabric stores anymore.  It was a real treat to sew such a beautiful fabric.
