How to Sew a Dress Using a Tank Top as a Pattern

    Tank dress are perfect for summer. They’re easy and fun and they can be dressed up or down. They’re also really simple to make- you don’t even need a traditional sewing pattern! I’m going to show you how to sew a dress using a tank top as a pattern. This project is great for beginner sewers.
     
     Choosing the right tank top to use for the pattern is very important. You want one that has a simple design (simple front and back scoop is best) and that fits you nicely. As for fabric, a stretch jersey is essential. I like the heavier weight ones because they’re easier to sew and they’re not see through when the dress is being worn. I created this custom printed fabric at Contrado. I love the way it turned out! They have a huge selection of fabrics (including several jerseys) that they print on.
