The Kila Tank sewing pattern is a fitted tank top designed for stretchy rib knit fabrics. A slight racerback design gives this top a sporty look, but won’t reveal conventional bra straps. Kila’s deep scoop neckline and armholes are finished with a bulk-free binding method that mimics ready-to-wear techniques.
The Kila Tank has several inches of negative ease making it a great basic layering tank top. Kila can be tucked into high-waist pants, overalls, and skirts. Because it’s sewn in super stretchy fabrics, Kila is also a great workout or pajama top for hot weather.
Recommended Fabric:
- Knit fabrics with at least 60% stretch and good recovery are recommended. If using a knit fabric with less. Cotton/spandex and rayon/spandex blend rib knits are ideal for the Kila Tank.
