I bought the Itch to Stitch Sentosa Tank pattern a year or two ago and got it printed in A0 while I was sick. I even managed to cut out a size 20 but then I missed the warm weather and never sewed it. It’s got a wonderful asymmetric, pleated neckline that really appealed to me, though!

But we’ve had an incredibly hot summer here in London, and I was looking for a quick knit project to sew in between a boring muslin and a paid commission, so I pulled it out. The cut size was way too large, so I found my current size (10!) and recut it in size 10, though I had to reprint the facings to get the bits that were cut off.

Earlier this year, I bought a “Misty Trees” 1.5yd panel print from Sew Dynamic on their great and super soft Dri Release T-Shirt base (USD$39.00 total). But I wanted to take advantage of the full gradient of the print so I thought I’d extend the tank into a short summer dress so I lengthened the side seams straight down by 40cm (15 3/4in).
