Sewing your camisole is pretty straightforward. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! If you are
- With right sides together, pin your front and back pieces together at the side seams and sew. Do the same for your lining.
- Next, using your loop turner, make a pair of spaghetti straps and set them aside.
- Lastly, insert your lining with right sides together and pin along the neckline and sew. Make sure to insert your straps before sewing.
- Turn your camisole right side out and hem your two layers separately or slip stitch them together.
That’s it! You’re done! Here are some photos to help you along the way!
Tip: No need to stress when it comes to sewing with baby sequins. Use a sharp microtex needle and you’ll be fine. Just remeber to take it nice and slow.

Great inspiration for fall and just a necessary basic. Loved shopping this store while in NY.
Hi Marianne! I’m so glad you like the pattern and thanks for shopping with us in NY!
Lovely! Just the kind of camisole I need.
Thanks, Bekah! Happy to know you like the pattern! 🙂
Can I use a woven (satin) for this pattern?
Yes, a woven would work just as well! 🙂
excellent. tanks
I have made 3 of these, but tweaked it so the hem line was not included in the lining hem. This sits beautifully when worn.
I have used silk with gorgetter overlay, lace over satin silk and all work with totally stellar results.
Love this pattern so, so much.
I look forward to trying this. I bought a bunch of fabric last time I was in town, but had no project. Love your store!
I want to make this with a silk charmeuse fabric. In this case, what type of fabric should I use for the lining?
Hi Valerie, with a charmeuse you could likely leave it unlined. You’d just need to finish off the edges with a rolled hem or bias tape. You can find instructions for a similar unlined top in our Saffron post!
Hi, is it possible to do it with fabric cut on the bias ? Thank you
Hi Charlotte – I think you could! I would just do a woven rather than a knit so it doesn’t weight itself down in the middle and pull.
Such a cute tank top, i cut the pattern about 8 inches short to make a cute crop top!
Made this top about five times in quarantine with different fabrics.it sits lovely.Just made a little shorter.Thank you for this great pattern.
Hi Sabine, that is wonderful! I plan to make a few more myself! So glad you like the pattern! 🙂
Love Mood!,! I think this tank pattern is awesome, an easy & quick project. I am thinking of extending to make a long summer dress but need advice on best way to lengthen pattern. Also, what fabric recommendation can you make?
I love this pattern. I was wondering if it includes a seam allowance or not?
A 1/2″ seam allowance is already included. 🙂
This is what I would call my first *truly* successful sewing project! I love the way it fits and it was pretty simple too! Thank you!
I’m looking to use up a bunch of vintage linens. Reckon this pattern is an appropriate choice (they are mostly delicate white cotton, though some seem to have some linen content…)
Love it want to use cotton fabric I’m in love with to make it. Will it work or should I size up for lack of stretch?
I’d recommend sizing up once – although you could make a version in muslin first just to be sure! Stretch isn’t 100% required for this pattern since it has bust darts, but the drape might be a bit different with a woven.
Hi, I downloaded the pattern this morning and just cut the fabric. I can’t wait to assemble it!
I was wondering if I should sew the darts in the front first before anything else?
Thank you in advance and thank you so much for the pattern!!!
Hi Alice! Yes, darts first 🙂 Happy sewing!
That’s what I did in the end! I didn’t expect the back to be so low but the result is beautiful nonetheless! Thank you again!
Hi, if I need to adjust the pattern, is it as simple as using a size 12 bust and cutting out a size 14 hip?
Hi, Ayana! Yes, you could certainly do that – although our size 12/14 are combined to be one size. 🙂
Cool! just what i’m looking for
I made it w silk- turned out gorgeous. Thank you so much for shating your brilliant patterns!
Thoughts on lengthening this and making it a slip dress? I love the sequins
love the Pattern… But it has darts. do we have to use these or can we just forget about them. I’m rather large chested and the darts go from the top of the camisole down, how can I move the dart to be at the bottom of my breasts.
Hi Nicole! Check out this post on how to manipulate darts in a pattern. 😀
