So many tops, so little time

Hello everyone!!

Since my last post, I have been in a state of confusion as to what to attempt next.

I originally wanted to sew a couple more tops before I begin what I really need (JEANS...it makes me nervous just thinking about it), but there were so many tops that were popping into my mind...

I loved this beautiful top in the US Burda magazine:

Wrap Top #119

But when I went online to download it, and saw that I had 21 pages to print, trace, and add seam allowances to, I thought I would save this for a little later.

Then I thought about a nice cardigan to coordinate with my tops.  I like this one, and a lot of people have had success with the versions they sewed up (I like successes):

Mccalls 6844

But on second thought, I didn't know if I would be wearing it anytime soon with the kind of cold weather we are having here in Georgia.  I will definitely try this for spring, though.

Then, while perusing my sewing references/books that I owned, I came across this book that I purchased years ago for $7 at Barnes and Noble:

I remembered that I had such high hopes with a lot of these patterns, and never attempted any of them.  I got all excited, thinking I could use my serger to finish most of whatever top I chose:

But I just didn't want to do another basic top right now.  I wanted to head in a different direction.

So, I FINALLY MADE A DECISION!!!

Here it is:

Let me just say that this Burda pattern has been in my stash for a LONG time!!  A LONG time! Over 2 years, I am sure of it!  And it is finally time for it to move to the head of the class!  I hope I am not disappointed with my decision!

Don't forget that Simplicity patterns are only 99 cents at Hobby Lobby this week until Saturday Feb. 8th.  I plan on stopping by there today in hopes of picking up these two...
