Sew the Adventure Tank Top

with Fancy Tiger Crafts

This all-summer tank is super versatile and comes together quickly. Amber and Jaime,
the Fancy Tiger ladies, show you how to make both versions shown in the pattern – a
racer-back tank and a muscle tank – using either a serger or sewing machine. The slightly
flared silhouette and design details make this the perfect tank to wear on all your summer
adventures. PDF patterns are provided for both versions in six sizes (from 32" – 46" bust).

Learn How To:

– Work with jersey knits
– Create professionally finished arm and neck bands
– Sew seams with a serger
– Top-stitch using a double needle
– Shorten or lengthen the pattern

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Print (& assemble) your paper pattern pieces. There is a file for your home printer file and a copy shop (large format printer) file. When
printing, make sure to turn off scaling in your printer settings. You can verify the pattern is printed to the correct scale by measuring the
square box around the size key, which is on page 1 of the home printer version or at the top left corner of the copy shop version. For the
home printer version, trim left side and bottom of each page and tape together according to the Assembly Guide diagram (located on pg. 1 of
your pattern pieces), lining up edges and matching triangles.
Wash, dry & press your fabric before cutting out your pieces. Launder it the same way in which you will care for your finished garment.
(Fabrics can shrink the first time they are laundered.) This will ensure that your garment has the same fit every time you wear it.
Measure yourself at bust, and use the chart to select your size. Check the chart for finished
garment measurements to see the actual garment finished size and length. It is easy to
lengthen if you choose, but be sure to get additional fabric for garment lengthening.
Lengthen or shorten the pattern as follows. If you would like to adjust the length, adjust
both piece 1 and 2.
Cut your pattern piece at the “lengthen or shorten here” line.
To shorten the garment, overlap the pattern piece at this line by the amount you would
like to shorten. Use a pencil to smooth out the side seam line between the underarm and
hemline.
To lengthen the garment, you will spread the pattern piece apart by the amount you SHORTEN
would like to add length, and secure this in place by taping it down to a piece of scrap
paper. Use a pencil to smooth out the side seam line between the underarm and hemline. LENGTHEN
