A lovely alternative to ribbed tanksāwith lace trim options and polished finishes ⨠Pattern Links Inside

Hi there!
Looking for a girlās summer staple that feels a little more polished than a basic ribbed tank? This Girlās Tank Top pattern is just the right mix of practical and prettyāwith a flattering silhouette and multiple ways to finish it.
š Not Your Average Tank ā Designed with a soft silhouette that flatters without clinging, and optional lace trim for a feminine look.
š§µ Skill Booster ā Practice clean neck and armhole band constructionāor elevate it with a trim instead.
š§· Smart Construction Choices ā Use plastic seam tape on shoulders and armholes for stability.
š Sizes 5ā12 ā Perfect in cotton jersey with up to 5% spandex. Want a textured look? Try it in slub knit!
But hereās what really makes this project a step aboveā¦
šæ THE FINISHING.
This isnāt just a quick summer sew. Itās a chance to level up your knit garment skills.
⨠Consider a double folded hem with twin needles to beautifully finish the slightly curved hemline. Donāt have a serger? No problemāthis is a perfect opportunity to test out zigzag stitches or use your machineās overlock foot for pro-looking results.
š¬ With a serger or without, this little tank delivers big results for sewists who want something practical and polished.
