It was rainning from weekend, and today I see some sunny sky. When it gets really hot, I know I will think "Wooo! It's too hot!!" but now I'm waiting for the summer sky.
Cause I made this outfit for A!
Maybe you guys who were following KCW would notice, I made this tank inspired by this tank of KCW. Made by Alida of "Alida Makes"!!
Isn't this sooo cool? I just fell in love with this outfit. Though her shorts are perfectly beautiful, I didn't have enough time and I loved tank more so I made this.
I used stripe Tshirt for front and solid coral Tshirt for back. Both are from Walmart and they cost 5 or so, I think.
I used tank pattern from this book.
I just modified front bodice, separated it into two parts and added 1/2 inches for seam allowance to center. I cut fabric (stripe Tshirt) for one side and put that on Tshirt right side together to make chevron.
Well, I should have taken photos. I will do so if I make another one for T! ( thaese Tshirts are big enough to make two tanks)
Pockets are from original pattern and I really like them. Aren't they cute? ( though A was complaining that these pockets were too small) In original pattern, this has a back opening,but I didn't put it. A has comparably small head as a kid! ( and I think I need to put back opening for T, she has a big one!)
I'm joining TOO Cute Tuesday and Sew Much Ado: We Did It! Wednesday
Happy sewing!
Cute tank! I love the chevron fabric!

Thank you, T'onna! Well, this is not made from chevron fabric, I made chevron from stripe fabric(AKA Tshirt). I should post about how I did later.
And thanks, Christine! I love thrifty things and refashion! I will write about them!
