DIY One Shoulder Tank

I love a one shoulder moment. Here is a quick tutorial on how I made this sleek, one shoulder tank top that I have been wearing recently.

Tools:

• Stretch fabric

• Matching thread

• Well-fitting shirt to trace

• Pins

• Scissors

• Chalk

• Sewing machine

Cut front and back panels

With your fabric doubled, lay your reference top down and cut leaving a ½ inch seam allowance all around. If you don’t have a top with a one shoulder detail like mine, you can use a regular shirt that fits you well. What you’ll want to do is trace the bottom, both sides, and one armhole and shoulder. From there, you can create a one shoulder neckline by drawing a slightly curved line connecting the shoulder you traced to the top of the opposite side seam.

Sew sides and shoulder seam

Using a zig zag stitch, sew the shoulder and side seams right sides together with a ½ inch seam allowance.

Clean up the raw edges

While the top is still right side out, fold the raw edges of the neckline, armhole, and bottom hem in ½ an inch. Pin and sew.
