I thought that I was done with sewing exercise clothes but this remnant was quick to sew up this afternoon, and I wanted a quick project that didn't need a change in overlocker threads.
I got the idea from this drape drape project. I think mine is shorter and possibly less voluminous, because I was working with a remnant.
I started with a tank pattern (I used Vogue 2946 and cut away the back armholes to give more of a racer back shape). Then I extended the underarm horizontally, as much as the fabric width would allow.
I'm planning on wearing it over some of the sports crop tops I made. It is very airy, which will be good in summer, but doesn't offer any sun protection, so it will be more for indoor exercise. It would look great layered over a black long-sleeved tee, but I don't have one of those.

This is genius! It looks great.
Good on you for finding a way to avoid changing threads and using up scraps! Such economy of movement and material I much admire!
You are right on the money with the look. It is also so comfortable to wear gym tops that have wide arm holes.
I really like this singlet.
Great top. It's nice to be a fashionista even when you're exercising!
