Basic Tanktop Sewing Pattern
Design
The jersey top sewing pattern, also known as tanktop or singlet, is one of the basics in your closet. The combination possibilities are endless: whether with a cute mini skirt or a loose blouse, the tank top pattern is the perfect piece for the onion look! As a summer top or winter top under a cardigan, the tank top always looks good. With the wide neck and armhole binding and the high neckline, the trendy tank top pattern has a modern, sporty look. You decide: Sew the high neck tank top in the cropped version to pair with high-waisted pants or shorts, for example, or choose the longer version for a cozier look that always fits. The pattern for The Basic Top includes sizes XS-XXXL.

Tip: For the tank top pattern The Basic Top, for example, we use a cotton rib fabric made of 100% cotton with a weight of 330g/m2. The pattern is constructed for a fabric with little stretch. For fabrics with more stretch, you can also sew one size smaller. We recommend a test piece before sewing with the final fabric.
