digital leyton knit tank + dress sewing pattern
This knit tank top or dress is designed for lightweight to medium-weight knit fabrics, particularly cotton jersey. It features a comfortable, streamlined silhouette that’s fitted at the bust and looser over the waist and hips. The neckline and armholes are finished with a self binding that uses a unique method to reduce bulk and make the sewing process easy. The straps themselves are wide enough to cover bra straps, but the style is still effortless and breezy. It’s a great wardrobe essential and a good starting points for customizing as well. Sew the top (View A) to wear on its own or as a layering piece, or choose the dress (View B) as an easy-to-wear and versatile style. This pattern includes cup sizes to help you get a great fit.
