    FEATURES

    The One Shoulder Tank sewing pattern combines wide binding with our 2 most popular t-shirt silhouettes: semi-fitted & flared with hem band. It has been intentionally designed it to give maximum coverage across the décolletage.  

    You can even add a beautiful ruffle along the neckline of your tank.  

    Make this versatile tank a standout in your wardrobe. Pair it with everything from skirts and denim to tailored trousers or palazzo pants.

  • Bindings must have elastane (or Lycra or Spandex) & good recovery.
  •  

    SHELF BRA: In the Get Creative section of the tutorial, you'll find instructions on how to add a shelf bra.

    A shelf bra is more like a crop top. It will not provide the same support that a bra is engineered to give. It's still pretty awesome though. Wear the tank/shelf bra combo braless or, my personal preference, with a strapless bra underneath the shelf bra. I find that the shelf bra helps hold that up. As an added bonus, a shelf bra can help smooth out the lines from the bra.

    Most important is to ensure binding/band fabric has matched or greater resilience than both main & shelf bra fabrics. 

  • Shelf bra suggestions include self fabric & swim lining.
  • 2.5-4cm (1-1.5") elastic if adding shelf bra.

    Gorgeous, Easy Sew

    This one-shoulder tank is full of options to enable you to make the perfect little tank, whether you want a more fitted look, more blousy, simple or with a cute flounce. The drafting is spot-on as usual, making fitting a breeze. Deceptively simple in design, it is an easy sew using just about a yard of fabric for the most basic version. A thorough tutorial is included, so that even a beginner can produce a successful garment. This is an elevated staple garment, sure to boost your wardrobe!

    Super cute and sew easy!

    I am totally in love with this pattern! The one shoulder fit is beautiful and while wearing it I don't feel like it's slipping. It's also one of the quickest sews! And the binding was surprisingly easy to construct and gives a beautiful finish!
