A tank top is a staple in any woman’s wardrobe, whether in a casual knit or in an elegant silk. This easy and very quick top is only two pattern pieces and can easily be made up in an hour. Once you have a perfect fitting tank top, your options are endless. The tank top can simply be transformed into a dress, a flowing summer top, a bathing suit cover-up, or embellished in a myriad of ways. Let your imagination and creativity soar.
In the Morning, students will make a sample muslin tank top and will learn how to fit and drape the top so that there no gaping armholes or necklines. Once draped the fitting changes will be sewn into the muslin and then a second tank top will be constructed using their first muslin as their pattern. This will insure that they have a perfect fit.
In the Afternoon, students will learn how to alter their patterns to make their tank top into a dress, or long summer top for leggings. Several fabric choices will be discussed as to how the fabric can make or break the look you want. Also various embellishment and finishing techniques will be covered, such adding a front pleat, color blocking, and adding a lace insert.
Supplies:
- “Fit to Stitch” Pattern Tank Top #514. These will be available for purchase at the class for $23.00 paid to teacher.
- 2 yards of muslin (available at the store)
- 1¾ yard of any other fabric to make their second tank top from their muslin.
- Pattern tracing paper
- Rulers
- French curve (if you have one)
- Sewing machines in good working order
