Colette Sorbetto Tank Top

*Hello*

My next sewing project decision was a pretty easy one!

I have decided to try the Sorbetto Tank Top by Colette Patterns.

This is a free (thank you!) downloadable pattern and is described as follows:

"This simple tank is quick to make, with no closures to sew ..."

Decision made!

Downloaded the pattern.

Stuck it together

Fabric find in charity shop today - £4.99 for duvet and base valance

Bias binding (gold!) in my stash, my mum brought it back from Majorca (4.50 Euros) and 

I have had it a few years waiting for the right project - this is it!

Have already sewn bust darts, made a single box pleat down the front,

 joined shoulder and side seams, finished off edges, ironed all the seams

and have just learned how to use bias binding on the neck seam.

Getting a bit excited - have just completed bias binding around the neck.

Had to stop for a cup cake bought by the Hub at Kelso Farmer's Market this morning 

and a cup of tea - lovely! - now back to work!

Bias binding on arm holes - getting a bit more excited!

Very excited about the finished top!

Here's a wee close up - very very excited!

I absolutely loved making this top - definitely going to make more (got fabric in mind!).

The instructions were great - simple enough for a beginner like me to get to grips with,

and I was able to make it in an afternoon!

I also loved using the gold bias binding, i've got a good bit left but I'll need to try and find some more,

if you know of a source I would love to hear from you! 

Summing Up:

Fabulous free pattern with easy to follow instructions - tick.

Can make it in an afternoon - tick.

Very wearable with a bit of sparkle - tick.

Will definitely be making more from the Colette Patterns range - tick.
