On My Cutting Table


I am not a garment sewer.  In fact, it has been many years since I sewed anything to wear, but I'm jumping on the Wiksten tank bandwagon.  You can download the pattern as a pdf.  It does require some taping together, but it much less expensive that way.  Wish me luck!

Good luck :) I hope you'll have a nice time sewing it.
I bought the pattern a few days ago but I'm still searching for the right fabric. Had lots of fun with the Tova pattern though, and I'm a newbie as far as sewing clothes go.

I love this pattern and the fabric you chose! I got it and make a tank and a tank dress in the last week. Very easy to follow pattern. Very fun and addictive! :)

The only time consuming part is the bias binding. And remember to try it on before you sew the arm hole binding on so that you can make some adjustments if necessary (it was little snug in the chest so I reduced the seam allowances a little in that area). Have fun! :)

Lol! I downloaded it last week and haven't even touched it yet since it's not on my list of to-finish-before-starting-anything-new...

Good luck. I'm sure it'll turn out great!

Good to know it is a pdf now! The paper patterns broke the bank!
