The Journey Tank and Dress is your reminder that life is all about the journey, not the destination.  I’ve always had the motto that if you look good, you feel good…and if you feel good, you play good (how’s that for bad grammar??).  It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in, this tank and dress has options that will help you have the most fun while you’re dealing with all of the curve balls life throws at you.  You can use the tank for low-impact workouts such as weight lifting, yoga, or wrangling kids. You can make the perfect summer dress (in two lengths!).

No matter what kind of “play” you’re doing, this is the pattern for you.

Description

It may sound like a cliché, but I believe that life is all about the journey.  The minute I get comfortable with something, life seems to throw a new challenge at me.  This pattern will help you get wherever you’re headed, in every stage of life.  It has enough options to go on, and on, and on…and onnnn. (See what I did there?)

Here’s what’s included in the Journey Tank and Dress:

  • Bikini or low-impact sports bra
  • Tank or Tankini
  • Knee Length Dress
  • Maxi Length Dress
  • Nursing Option (including a way to hide the nursing clips!)
  • Maternity Option

The bust ruching and strappy back adds a lot of excitement to a traditional summer staple.  For more information on how to make this pattern more supportive for large busts, please take time to read this blog post for helpful links to supportive fabrics.  Supportive fabrics can make the difference between saggy breasts and adequate support!  Don’t stop believin’–you CAN build a bodice that will provide good support!! (Yep, I did it again! hahaha I can’t resist.)

Information for fabric and notions and size chart can be seen in one of the pictures.  This pattern is intended for medium weight 4-way stretch knit with at least 50% stretch horizontally, such as lycra blends with cotton, nylon, supplex, or polyester.  Notions include polyester thread to match, ballpoint needles for jersey or stretch needles for swim knits, 1” non-roll elastic for band, 1/4” knit elastic for bust ruching, 3/8” clear elastic for arms/neck/back, Wash Away Wonder Tape (optional but recommended), Removable swim cups or sew-in bra cups (optional), and 1/2″ or 5/8″ Nursing clips or snaps (optional).

This PDF sewing pattern comes in sizes XXS – 3XL. Included in your purchase is a professional tutorial that includes pictures and drawings to help you sew up your new favorite top. The files also include professionally drawn pattern pieces formatted for 8.5×11, A4, and A0 printers. PLEASE only use the A4 formatted pattern pieces if you live in a country where the standard paper size is A4!

    Made this in the morning, and wore it to work. Modest neckline with a sweater in the office and cool for summer. Quick sew, flattering and versatility!

Pajama Pants
I tried coming up with a catchier name, but in the end I decided it was unnecessary.  They're pajama pants....but who am I kidding?  I sometimes let nighttime blur into day time...and then I just like to call them pants. We could even call them the number one thing I get asked to make for large families pants. Or the I don't know what to get you for Christmas, so I made you pajama pants (pants). :)
