Eyelet Tank Tutorial

Here it is! The tutorial I didn't plan on! LOL



So here we go!

Supplies!



If you are doing a young child's size you will probably need less than a 1/2 yard of eyelet (or whatever) and less than a 1/2 yard of lining. C1 is a 5 in waist and chest but an 8 in length if that helps you any.

You will need a tank that fits your child to use as a template. Brown paper or wrapping paper (or whatever) to cut as a pattern.

And your basic sewing stuff. ;)

Step 1- place your child's tank on the paper and trace around it leaving room for seam allowance.



Step 2- Cut out your pattern



Step 3- Pin your newly made pattern to your lining material on the fold.



Step 4- Cut 2



Step 5- Pin your pattern to your eyelet on the fold.



Remove cat from eyelet



Step 6- Cut 2



Step 7- Pin right sides together one eyelet and one lining



Step 8- Start at one end and sew continuously around to the other end, leaving the bottom open



Step 9- Do the other eyelet and lining.

Step 10- Turn right side out and press and trim seams (if needed)



Step 11- Pin front to back with right sides together



Step 12- Sew top of straps together

Step 13 - Sew sides together



Step 14- Pin and hem the bottom



Step 15- Turn right side out and press seams



Congratulations! You just made the eyelet tank! So simple and cool for summer! And it goes with ANYTHING!

I'll be sure to take pics of c1 in her tank and May Flowers skirt tomorrow morning! :)
