favorite sewing patterns: 02

the wiksten tank is probably my most sewn pattern ever.  the shape and sewing is quite simple and could work as a good first garment project.  

if you follow sewing blogs, you know about this one and have likely sewn it.  i've mentioned it before…and probably will again.  we love this tank!  ​

these tanks are the kind of top you could wear every warm or hot day.  made out of liberty of london fabric or voile (like the center and right ones above) they are breezy and light enough for the hottest summer day.

pictured here is jo's collection of wiksten tanks.  i've made her a couple of new ones each year for a few summers and they remain favorites. i do raise the neckline about an inch on all of ours (i forgot on my constellation one though- arrgh!)  i also add darts to my wikstens.  i'll show you some more of mine along with some modifications during my memademay i'm sure.

hope you find some sunshine in your day today!

love,
jane
