Kwik Sew 3419 with some changes

Another TNT pattern, I made it here and that is probably my all time favorite top and it is due to the fabric.  You can read my pattern review  and it has links to the four previous tops I have made.  The best feeling knit and it was a dream to sew.  I emailed Anne of Needle Nook with that link and ask her if she had some more of that fabric.  She sent a picture of several bolts and I picked several fabrics.  For this top, I used an aqua knit, talk about soft.

This time I wanted the bottom of the top to have some gathering.  On  the Cabi site, it has several versions of the gathered top.  I added 11" to the bottom front and gathered it to the back, the gathering stops at the bottom 2" to allow for hemming.
