This is a long sleeve version of Summer Butterfly.
When I taught the class at the shop, everyone wanted to make it with longer sleeves!

This long sleeve version gives you two sleeve choices:
’3/4 gathered sleeves’ or ‘Full length regular shaped sleeves’.

The yellow sample (second photo) is S size with 3/4 gathered sleeves.

If you prefer the cap sleeves, please check Summer Butterfly.
