Ti's Sew Easy TV Show 2003: Terrific Tank Tops

3/27/2021

Tank style tops are a popular garment style. I love layering them with a sweater, jacket, or even a hooded sweatshirt! In this show you'll see one that's made for a knit and one made with lace! Both these styles can add so much to your wardrobe and make great pieces for transitioning through the seasons.
Segment 1
Knit Tank with Tube Trim
Angela Wolf
Picture
Angela Wolf starts by demonstrating two details you can add to a tank. She starts with ideas for adding cups for a sports bra style knit tank.
Picture
Next, you'll see her create tubes to trim the back with a lattice style accent. I love the look of this on casual tops, athletic wear, and even swimwear. Watch how easy it is to make tubes using the serger!
Picture
In a future episode you'll see Angela take these pieces and create a sleek tank top.

Segment 2
Lined Lace Top - Serger Style
Joanne Banko
Picture
Would you believe the top shown below was sewn almost entirely on the serger? I started with ordinary lace yardage and selected a lightweight blouse fabric for the lining.
Picture
You'll want to pay close attention to the video and then follow along with the detailed steps and photographs in my instructions when you CLICK HERE.
Picture
The serger is idea for stitching the lace seams. Simple color match your serger thread to the lace and the seam will virtually disappear. The method I developed for putting this together leave only the neckline and hem to be finished with regular machine stitching.
Picture
Now, if your pattern has darts, you'll also want to sew the darts with a standard sewing machine. You'll find tips for stitching lace darts when you watch the video.

I hope you enjoy this show! I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Visit www.itsseweasytv.com to watch show 2003. It currently airs for Free until Noon EST
April 3rd.

If my pattern has dates? Not darts? It's probably more popular than I am! ;-)

Thank you for clear pathway to success directions. This segement has inspired me to make a feminine tank for mt 12 year old grand daughter who is visiting while on spring break. Who knows, she might develope enough interest while watching the fabrication process to need a sewing machine to continue a sewing journey after she returns home.

Thanks for your comments Martha! What a great idea to sew with your grand daughter. That's about the age I was when I started sewing. You never know what influence you might have. Enjoy your time together :-)

Thanks that was very interesting and looks easy enough for me to do if I can find a pattern that would fit me.
