Body and Finished Garment Measurements
Material Requirements
Primary fabric Use lightweight knit fabric such as jersey and interlock. Keep in mind that a fabric with more drape will be larger/longer and contours over the body. Ladies with larger busts will find a fabric with more drape fits their figure better. A stable knit will make a more structured garment that is smaller/shorter. View A shows the wrong side of fabric as an accent, so choose accordingly.
Contrast fabric Use lightweight woven fabric such as shirting, batiste, lawn, chambray, challis, crepe, broadcloth and linen. Do not use a sheer fabric.
Optional Material
- 27” (68.5 cm) of 3/8” (1 cm)-wide bias fusible stay tape

Please sign up using this application form if you are interested. Testing is one of the most crucial steps for producing a quality pattern. I appreciate your applying!
Would like to see these patterns. I enjoy sewing. Are these patterns out so they can be made by consumer.
Hi Gail, yes, the pattern is available for purchase. It is in the shop (click the Shop link above). Thank you for your interest.
Oh, I like this very much! I can’t be a tester since we are going out of town, but do you have an estimated release date?
Thank you Angela. I don’t have a release date yet since it all depends on how well testing goes. 🙂
This is a beautiful design, Kennis!
Thank you!
Awesome tank design!!! This style works well on me. ?
Thank you! I can also picture myself wearing it every day. 😀
Oh, and Your photos are neat !
Love the look of this one, Kennis! Looks like another staple that will need to be in my wardrobe! 🙂
I am biased, but I think so! 😉
Oh Kennis, I’m loving this one! This would be so great for work in this Barbados heat. And of course I’m totally crushing on the fact that your sample is purple.
I have been making a couple of purple things lately. The yoke fabric is shot cotton (which is new type of fabric to me). It has blue and purple in it, so in person, the fabric is iridescent. It’s quite interesting.
So I had to go google ‘shot cotton’. Never heard of it before, but I see it comes in lots of beautiful colours. Oh dear, off to pin some to my Fabric board now.
Oh this is so pretty! Does it have to be made out of knit? It’s tough to find a quality knit around where I am.
Actually I want to ask two volunteers among the testers to use woven in the bottom instead. I think it probably wouldn’t work very well for large busted ladies, but it should be good for ladies with B (or even C) cup with woven.
Great! I will apply then! I think I am a B cup, but last time on Sirena Dress I turned out to be a C.
Yes, super cute and different than the usual plain tank! I have to get to the computer to fill out the form!
Thanks 🙂
