Another Tank....

Here is another version of Ottobre 2/2009 Tank Top! It is amazing the different results with different fabrics! This one is soo much looser than the previous version! I made this one out of Siltex cotton interlock. I almost needed to go down a size. I debated taking it in a little on the side seams, but looking at the picture it doesn't look bad so I think I won't. This time I decided to cut the straps to the width of the binders and eyeballed it and cut them a little narrow and so it didn't fold under nicely is a couple of areas. I know I am the only one who will notice that though. It is something for home and boating on the river anyhow!

Ottobre 2/2009 Tank Top

I cut this out traced off this pattern and cut it out Friday night, then this morning stitched it up! It would have been super fast if I didn't decide to try my binders. This is really the first thing I have used my binders for, so there was a bit of learning curve there.....some ripping out and redoing. I think I have learned them now though! I am ready to try another tank top! I will mark the straps next time, this time I tried to wing it and wound up with one being 5.25" long and one 7.25" long! Whoops! More ripping and redoing! Even with all the ripping and redoing, this didn't take very long. I used a lavendar "sophia knit". This is the first time I have ever bought or used this fabric. I am pretty happy with it. Not too stretchy, great recovery. Here is the picture (please ignore the wide expanse, the addidas sign showing through the tank top in the middle and the uniboob due to the sports bra!).
