šŸŽ€šŸ‘§ The Not-So-Basic Girl’s Tank Top – A Pretty Silhouette in Sizes 5–12

A lovely alternative to ribbed tanks—with lace trim options and polished finishes ✨ Pattern Links Inside

Hi there!

Looking for a girl’s summer staple that feels a little more polished than a basic ribbed tank? This Girl’s Tank Top pattern is just the right mix of practical and pretty—with a flattering silhouette and multiple ways to finish it.

šŸ‘— Not Your Average Tank – Designed with a soft silhouette that flatters without clinging, and optional lace trim for a feminine look.
🧵 Skill Booster – Practice clean neck and armhole band construction—or elevate it with a trim instead.
🧷 Smart Construction Choices – Use plastic seam tape on shoulders and armholes for stability.
šŸ“ Sizes 5–12 – Perfect in cotton jersey with up to 5% spandex. Want a textured look? Try it in slub knit!

But here’s what really makes this project a step above…

🌿 THE FINISHING.
This isn’t just a quick summer sew. It’s a chance to level up your knit garment skills.

✨ Consider a double folded hem with twin needles to beautifully finish the slightly curved hemline. Don’t have a serger? No problem—this is a perfect opportunity to test out zigzag stitches or use your machine’s overlock foot for pro-looking results.

šŸ’¬ With a serger or without, this little tank delivers big results for sewists who want something practical and polished.
