I LOVE TANK TOPS!!!!!!!!!!!! I love love love them. I love all the shapes and colors I can find...and I wear them out...and sometimes, get rid of them....
However, there are a few tops I didn't wanna give up on...and get a few more wears and tears out of them...so....i pulled out the sewing machine today...and did what I do....take that saggy old tank top and make it "new" again!!!
I don't even care if it is a striped or checkered...you can get away with it :)
For me, I put the old tank on....and gather it in the back..and guesstimate how much I need to take in...
somtimes really, it is just the backside you need to take in. Or, if you have really gotten a tank that is too huge and wide...you can take in seams too! :)
Anyways..............I flip it inside out...and sew a diagonal right up the back.
Thatz right !!! A diagonal!!!! Start at like 3 inches out...(from the fold)...and then zoom your machine up to almost the top of the shirt. WHAMMO! done. :)
I've done 3 total now...and going to start another project too...of merging a tank top and rainbow dress. :)
ENJOY
