In yesterday's post, I let you guys know that I'm working on the
Wiksten Tank.
I'm so excited to finish this project that I want to share my progress, even though due to my iron outage I won't be able to completely finish until Thursday.

I love this tank pattern and will be making a bunch more. This is a cotton sateen from
Lisette's Fall 2011 fabric collection. My friend
Devon bought the sister fabric in a set of reds, oranges and browns. She's currently turning it into a
Colette Jasmine blouse with a contrasting tie. Can't wait to see it finished!
The instructions to assemble the Wiksten tank are simple to follow. I omitted the pocket, but may possibly add a contrasting one to break up the pattern a bit.

This tank top is only 2 pieces, really. I opted to finish all the seams with grey bias tape. You guys, I actually hemmed this piece. BEFORE I DID ANY OF THE OTHER OPENINGS. I got the hem and neck done, and half way through one of the arms before my iron died.
I'll post a photo of the finished product, but I'm really looking forward to making up a few versions of this.
Thank you for your comment on my dress! I am sitting here doing boring accounts so it was good to get a nice comment! I will answer about the zip later, in reply to your comment.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say...I downloaded the Wiksten Tank the day before yesterday, so it's funny you should post yours now. I had never seen Wiksten before I came across it this week, when I was looking for a pattern to use for a teeny piece of fabric.
Yours is really fab, and looks great on you. I was thinking of finishing mine with bias tape, too (I detest cutting silly old bias strips!)
Fabulous job!
