What a difference a small bit of alteration to a pattern can make, and what a difference a change of fabric can make too.

I think I am happy with the pattern now and have been experimenting getting it into Illustrator to offer free on my blog. It's a great learning process. I'd love a pattern for a woven tank like yours!Megan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770424076336668277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-42737870323468164252014-04-25T23:14:04.123-07:002014-04-25T23:14:04.123-07:00Wow, I know you're calling them muslins, but s...Wow, I know you're calling them muslins, but so many of these are in really cute fabric!

I wish I had a closet of these--I wear this kind of top year round. I made 5 muslins last summer, four of which never made it to the binding stage. I was aiming for straps in the middle and a slight racer back. Gosh it took me a couple of tries to get rid of the armhole gaping, but I was trying to do this without a bust dart. I still have some work to do. Anyway I might come back to this post for some inspiration!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-85728484385584365032014-04-24T02:37:56.422-07:002014-04-24T02:37:56.422-07:00Wow, what a great lot of tanks tops.

I enjoyed seeing your fabric selection and was happy to see you used some wovens too, I can't pick a favorite top, but the ones width the strap mid shoulder or near the neck really show off your great shoulders.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-53872528206987627612014-04-23T06:31:03.480-07:002014-04-23T06:31:03.480-07:00Wow, you have been busy!

Then you'd have a woven tee ready to go.

I have been half-heartedly struggling my way through countless updates to the Wiksten tank pattern, and think it would be much better if I just started from a pattern that already fits.
