We
all have woven fabric that just sits waiting to be used in a pattern.
With so many pattern makers creating designs with knit fabric, it means
our woven fabric just waits. And waits. And waits.
There are so many great woven designs at a fraction of the cost of knit
fabrics.
Thankfully a few designers recognize this niche, such as Mamma Can
Do It!
She has designed a simple tank top pattern that fits well...real ladies
- the Classy Woven Tank
It hides tummy confidence issues while showing off my curves in a
flattering way.
Heck - the first time I wore it in public, my friend complimented me 3
times that day on my new top! What a confidence booster :).
The back covers just enough of my behind, and it was easy to grade
between sizes to fit my waist and hips properly (between 6 sizes from bust to
waist/hip).
The curved hem is
super flattering all around
And look how great it
looks with my Eden Leggings!
And of course, Husband
tries to make me laugh while taking photos in our forest (we own 6 acres of
Land in Quebec, Canada, which we frolic in on weekends).

Overall, the sewing took less than an
hour, and the end result was surprisingly perfect.
The darts for the bust are perfectly
placed and easy to sew, and the binding instructions were quite
detailed.
This pattern is perfect for the
beginner sewist looking to sew up their beautiful woven fabrics, or the
expert looking to add a few more simple tank tops to their wardrobe this
summer.

I used a light woven linen random fabric obtained from my
mother-in-law's sister (just in case it was a flop), and the pattern just makes
the fabric pop. Like they were made for each other.
Seriously!
