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