Are you tired of this corner of my garden yet?
and by the way this is the last smile I could manage for the day!
For the third installment of the Wiksten tank (here are one and two), I decided to try cutting this cotton found at A Fashionable Stitch on the bias. After reading this Threads article I started to worry that I would have to add a ridiculous amount of ease on the sides but Sunny assured me that even thought she knew about the article with a fabric as stable as that cotton I had nothing to worry about. The process uses a lot more fabric than strait grain so I would only recommend this as a stash buster. I like the final look but wished I had used white muslin for the bias tape at the arm holes. I also think that staystitching the arms and neck hole might be a good idea. Regardless, neither one of those points is an issue but I feel like it could help someone along the way, as it stands it's a nice top to tuck into a skirt a bit too large at the waist.
