Sewing: Week Eleven Knitted Striped Tank-Top
Knitted Striped Tank-Top Week eleven – knitted striped tank-top. This top is just like last weeks, except the skill is taken up notch with the striped. I have to tell you, it was intense working with such large stripes. Talk about a bit of pressure. I wanted the top to look as professional as possible which is why it was so important to match up all the stripes. Did you catch the post last week? Week ten was a beautiful spring rayon tank-top.

Sewing: Week Ten Rayon Flowing Tank-Top
Rayon Flowing Tank-Top Just in time for spring. I did this pattern review last year and this time I tried it with a more fun, patterned fabric. Last time I was super concerned with the pleat at the back, not this time. Easy peasy. Also – I cut this pattern in a medium and made it work with 1.25 yards of fabric. Score! See how easy it is when you chalk mark out the pleats? Do this and you’ll be fine. It also works well…
