The super basic tank top knows no boundaries. In all seasons and climates, this tank top belongs in every handmade wardrobe. Sew up a striped or spotted version to wear with your gathered skirts and cutoffs in the summer, and a solid version to wear under sweaters in the winter. Make it with nice lighter weight, tighter knit and wear it as an undershirt for bra-free days. (Then use the scraps
to make matching underpants!)

This pattern was drafted for a sewing B cup and approx. 168 cm or 5ft.6in. Step-by-step illustrated instructions will guide you whether using a standard sewing machine only or in combination with a serger

GENERAL INFO
This is a computer drafted, print and cut, layered PDF pattern, printable in black/white or color. The A0/copyshop file is included in your purchase. The pattern includes all sizes, but the size views can be easily toggled on or off in order to print either all sizes or only the size(s) you want to make.

SIZING + FABRIC

The super basic tank top is drafted for light- to mid-weight knits with 4-way stretch and an element of drape, such as jersey, bamboo or rayon jersey, rib knits, interlock or t-shirt weight merino with approx. 60% stretch and decent recovery. Similar fabrics with anywhere between 40% and 100% stretch will also work well, but may result in a slightly snugger or looser fit.

NOTIONS
