Tank Top – BurdaStyle 3/2012 #119a
Apart from a couple of Kanzashi flowers I made last year in Indonesian batik (BurdaStyle 2011), I have just tried sewing my first patterned BurdaStyle garment. I stitched this tank top using an untouched early ’70’s fabric remnant that I found in my vintage stash but didn’t know what to do with. Check out the groovy couple on the print, lol! I omitted to add the bow which obviously wouldn’t go with the style of fabric. The updated pattern really transforms the vintage fabric nicely. I am enjoying learning to sew on a machine and reading Burda Style. Btw, not being vain but all my pics here on BurdaStyle are of me, lol, the bottom pic here was taken in Jan ’12.
Material Notes
Original early ’70s crosswise stretch sheer light-weight shiny clingy directional photographic print
