A special sleeveless top that is easy to sew with a designer twist. The center front hem gather adds unique interest and the lowered back hem ensures the top is flattering around the derriere. A lovely line is created from the center front down along the hip and around the rear hem creating a "fantail". The Fantail Tank is a simple sew and the curved hem made easy with bias binding.
Perfect on a hot day worn with shorts or to an evening BBQ with jeans or summer trousers.
Easy. Different. Flattering.
STYLE OPTIONS: Round neck and "V" neck

Reviews

Fantail top
I really loved making this top. I leant a new technic which worked great. I was very pleased with the finished product. The only thing I have found that I am very full in the bust so the length of the top in the front is a little shorter than I like, so am trying to work out how I can change this so I can make the top again.

Hi Kay, Refer to the shorten/lengthen line on the bodice pattern to extend the length of your top. Refer page 5 for instructions on how to do this - or check out our on line tutorial from the link below: https://thesewingrevival.com/blogs/tips-tricks/adjusting-length Kindest regards, Janine

Another great pattern!! Quick and easy
This is my 4th sewing revival pattern! The measurements seemed quite loose so I sewed a size smaller than I usually would and it came out great. The instructions on the burrito roll and the use of bias binding on the back hem gave a nice neat finish.

Love this pattern
This tank top is fantastic. Came together easily, the burrito method makes for such lovely neck line and arm holes. Feel great wearing it. I will go down a size for my next one.


Fantail tank top
Love this top it came together quickly I have made two already more come

Super comfortable and stylish
Easy to make for a confident beginner. I conquered the burrito and learnt something new! I’m between sizes and after having read the other reviews, made the smaller size which fits perfectly. I chose blue linen for this one.
