I really liked the construction of this top, you attach the front and back neck bands prior to making a channel in the sleeves for the elastic which allows you to line everything up nicely. This method also makes it easy to test the length of the arm elastics which I really appreciated as I needed to shorten the length by about 0.5” to prevent the sleeves from falling off of my shoulders. In total it took me about an hour to sew up this top start to finish making it a very quick and satisfying sew!
