Description

I recently saw an interesting tank top online and decided to try making a similar pattern myself. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far. Tons of pleats and buttons down the front! I think the front looks a bit too much like a vest and the top of the back doesn’t always lie flat, so I’m going to be making a few adjustments before the next round. Since this was for practice, I was lazy with the edges and used a lot of baby hems. We are having very warm spring weather in California right now which is giving me tons of inspiration to make tanks and dresses!

    Great summer top! I really like the pleats. They add such a great interest to clothing that would ordinarily be kind of plain.

    I featured this top on my blog :)

    Love it. I also wish you would publish the pattern. I have a couple of daughters that would love a blouse like this.

      Thanks for the nice comment!
      I haven’t tried adding a pattern before, but I could try doing a tutorial for this one. I used the Lydia pattern as a base for creating my own pattern and could post those steps in a tutorial.
