Tie Back Tank - Sizes XXS - 3XL
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
The band did a lot of wrinkling. Thinking measurements may be too short.
This was a great little pattern and I love the binding look on the top. I cannot wait to make more of these. Very stylish and comfortable.
Binding is made easy by this pattern!
Easiest top I’ve made and it looks great.
My sister-in-law has a top similar with a shelf bra underneath as a swim top. Going to give it a try and see if I can hack this into a new swim top for myself. Wish me luck!
I am constantly making these tanks as gifts! I love the ones I have so much that now my sister, sister in law and mother in law have all received a few of these! The fit is spot on, not tight around the arms that I tend to have issues with on store bought tank tops. The tie in the back is stylish too.
would love to learn how to do binding on a top this one would be great!
This was actually the first top I've ever sewn - I've made dresses and leggings but never a top. I've always been put off by the idea of trying binding, thinking I'd mess up the neck and arms. The pattern and instructions were clear and concise, and my binding came out (nearly) perfect first time. I'm just about to finish my second attempt at this pattern as I keep wearing the first one. Highly recommended for anyone but especially for people who might be looking for an 'advanced beginner' project.
I brought the pattern this morning after seeing one that somebody else had made in a sewing group I'm in. While I normally dread working with knits I was pleasantly surprised to find a pattern that I will want to make over and over again. Not only that, but I can make a different version every time thanks to the modifications they have available within the pattern. I would definitely recommend this pattern to others. And as it states, definitely more for a confident beginner. If you are not confident working with knits, I feel that this is a good project to dip your toes in with.
