Way back, before October even started, the twitter sewcialists brought up the concept of #sewredoctober. Simple really, sew something red during the month of October. For a split second I thought about going off plan and sewing a fabulous red summer frock, then I remembered that there was a little red garment in my
Summer Capsule Wardrobe which would be perfect. So amongst everything else going on in October, I knocked out this little number.
A sheer red cotton
Wiksten Tank. Perfect for summer! It is light and comfortable, great on its own, but it also layers really well.
I know I'm late to the Wiksten Tank party, but it really is a great pattern. Very simple, beautifully finished, a versatile top.
I can't wait to make the dress version next!
the Wiksten tank was used as the pattern for one of the workshops at the Craft Sessions I attended last weekend - lots of cool variations at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteyour solid red looks great casually as well as a bit more dressed up, I can see how versatile the top will be, loads of options!
It's a great base pattern, a great one for individualising.
DeleteOooh, it looks great! I made the pattern once, and the dartlessness really didn't work for mah bewbs, but I should really revisit it with a dart and give it anouther try!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'd love to see it with darts, I might try one too.
DeleteReally smart! dressed down and up - definitely a winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
