Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Braided tank from themedusa. I did not use the pattern for the top since I was afraid it may have been a little large for me.
I used one of my own tanks as a base for the top and used the instructions for making and attaching the braid. I also made a sash/belt to tie around the waist.
This one was quick and cute! I had a new outfit in the matter of hours and wore it to a party that night…
Material Notes
Brown cotton knit.

Thank you for your comments! It’s really good to get some feedback, especially since I really haven’t been spending time with my sewing lately. I must say that I am really happy with the result though.

really flattering – love it. The braiding and the belt really set it off.

I think you did an awesome job on creating your own pattern. the details you put into tank top really set it apart. very adorable!!!

Hi zuckerschnuetchen,
I took some remnant pieces of the fabric and made sure that they were the same width and sewed them to make a long strip. It was really fast and dirty, no finishing or anything.

Cute! I have a bit of leftover silk jersey, and I was thinking of making something similar…
