Kwik Sew Ruched Neckband top

I finally decided to make Kwik Sew 3915, shown in the upper side bar.  I have had this pattern for some time now and had plans to make the long sleeve top last fall.  Now I have decided to make View B with the ruched center neckband.  I am going to make longer sleeves, not sure if I have enough fabric to make them to the wrist.   I am thinking 3/4 or above elbow but not as short as on the model.

I traced the pattern pieces and pin fitted.  I will need to make about 1 inch FBA.  I have a holiday tomorrow so plan to start sewing early.  Today is DH's birthday so have not spent as much time in sewing room.  I am preparing him some of his favorite foods for dinner.

Other fitting adjustments are my usual 1/4 inch front and back horizontal tuck in upper chest and back, swayback and still to need to make forward shoulder adjustment.

My trip out of town did not lend itself to shopping at Hancock's.  Thus I came home empty handed.
