Customer Questions and Answers
Lined it with very thin cotton (batiste) as a facing. Added self drafted sleeves. Fits me perfectly.
I've made this top twice. The first time I made it with a light linen and the second with a medium weight. The first worked well (I enlarged the armhole), yet it felt a little boxy, so I tried cutting the fabric on the bias for the second one. I was pleasantly surprised at what a difference this made. I don't know anything about cutting on the bias except that it usually make a garment more flowy. I didn't know how to work with the trim on the bias (do you stretch the trim a lot more?), so the back neck gapes a little. Since I was working with scraps, I had to sew a few angles that I'm not familiar sewing, so the shirt doesn't look as good as it would if an expert were doing it. I'm pleased, though. Thank you! For a beginner, this is a great pattern!
I have made this top 4 times. I made it for a friend and then two more times out of fabric scraps. I love that it doesn't take too much fabric. so simple to pair with printed skirts.
I had big hopes for this tank top. Too tight in bust. Could barely get head through next. However, wonderful instructions. Will try a garter size.

I feel successful with a new technique: binding the neck and arm holes. Thanks for a great tutorial!
I've made 4 of these tanks from FS linen. They are great for layering! Love the bias binding at the neck and arms.

Third try. The bias cut worked perfectly this time. I still need to work on proper binding for the neck and armholes.
Visible purchased leftover trim (I'll stick with my own from the same fabric next time). Fabric pieced from scraps and cut on bias. I'm a beginner sewist as is evident. I liked the drape of the fabric cut on the bias better than with the grain.
Thanks to all the reviews, I knew to make the armholes a bit bigger. The shirt is a tad bit too short for my preferences, but it works. It's a nice pattern and a good opportunity to practice finishing the armholes and neckline.
