At first I wasn't sure how much I would wear it. The pattern looked a little sportier than what I typically choose. But the color-blocking looked fun, so I made it anyway! And, I'm really glad I did, because I really actually love how it turned out!
**Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link for this pattern in this blog post. If you choose to click on/purchase from my link, I'll receive a small commission from the sale**
This was my first Pickle Toes 10K tank, but it for sure will not be my last!
The Pattern:
This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. You will need something with good, 4 way stretch. It is a fitted tank, but is very flattering. There are seven length options included (top, tunic, mini, above the knee, below the knee, tea length, maxi length), and two options for the back (regular tank ro racer back). There is a fun color blocking detail on the front and back. I used two fabrics for mine, but you could also use three if you wanted.
My Top:
I printed and taped my pattern, and went looking through my fabric stash. I chose to make the tunic length, because I had this great stripe fabric I got in a scrap/ mystery box that was the perfect size for this! I used a solid black for my color blocking. My top is made from DBP (Double Brushed Poly) fabric. I really love the look, a lot more than I expected! I chose to make the regular tank, because I don't have a racerback bra... you would think that at some point I'd fix that. 🤷 Maybe when we're done with nursing, I'll invest!
Sewing the Pattern:
This was a very easy pattern to put together and to sew! You do have a lot of pieces when you cut everything out, so just be organized so you don't lose any! I have 2 year old who likes to run off with random pieces, so I have to make sure to put everything out of reach. 🤣 It went together pretty quickly, and I love how it turned out!
I love dresses, so I'm kind of wanting another in above the knee or maxi length! It's a really fun pattern! I'm also REALLY wanting a sleeved version of this! Maybe our friends at Pickle Toes will make that happen at some point! 😜 *hint hint*
It would also make a wonderful exercise top in some athletic or wicking fabric! Maybe I'll do that one day too!
So TODAY ONLY (05-20-2019), the pattern is discounted!
