The weather is starting to warm up and that means it is almost time to put away our jackets and pull out the tank tops. When looking for a new tank tutorial, I stumbled across this Simple Summer Tank with FREE Sewing Pattern from Emily of Life Sew Savory, originally Nap-Time Creations. With sizes ranging from XS-XXL, this free sewing pattern is perfect for many different body types. Enjoy!
When attaching the neck band, you want to make sure that it is about 1-2" shorter than the neckline so you can stretch it slightly when pinning in place. Once attached, you can top stitch the neckline for a professional appearance, but this step is not required.
This tank would be perfect to sew in a light to medium weight knit with good stretch, like a cotton jersey or cotton lycra. In Emily's example, she uses two complimentary fabrics for the front and back of her tank, so this would be a fun opportunity to play with mixing different prints and colors. A few of my picks from the store:
Happy Sewing!
