This is my contribution to 30DaysofCreativity.com ‘s Plaid Day using Colette’s free Sorbetto Tank Top pattern. I slightly modified the pattern to leave the bottom pleat loose for a more relaxed fit.
Blogged at hippopotamuslee.blogspot.com!
Shirt material is from a thrifted dress and the bias tape is made from a thrifted pillow case.

Looks fab! I just made a Sorbetto top of my own but made a mess of the bias binding.
