Frisco Tank Top by Threadbear Garments

   

I am very happy to show you my Frisco Tank Top today. Frisco is the second pattern of Leslie von Threadbear Garments, a dear blogger colleague of mine. Leslie has an incredibly cool style that’s casual yet feminine. This is also reflected in her patterns.  

   

The Frisco is a two-for-one pattern. View A is a modern, apron-style jumpsuit that features a princess seam bodice and a cropped, wide leg pant. The waist is cinched by an elasticized belt that is fastened with a set of D-rings that provides maximum comfort and style. The slash pockets offer added utility.

I’ve opted for View B, as you can easily see. A tank top with a trendy square neckline and a pretty button placket.

The princess seam lines provide a comfortable and stylish fit. The slight A-line shape hits right at the hip making this tank top a great match for your favorite pair of jeans. To skirts I would shorten the pattern in the length a little bit. 

As you can see, I have created my personal touch for the pattern: Ruffles! I cut two fabric strips in 5 cm width and 1.5x in the length of the straps. I gathered and sewed them between the straps. 

   

Another nice plus point is that the top is ideal for using leftovers. I sewed the leftover piece from the fabric I sewed my Sailor dungarees from. 

I had worn hardly any tank tops in the past 15 years, because I had the feeling that a kind of garment doesn’t suit me. Maybe it has something to do with growing older and becoming more relaxed, but certainly with the fact that I find this top very stylish and feminine. In short: I am sure that I will wear this tank top over and over again.

Happy Sewing
