my boyfriends mom gave me TONS of fabric for Christmas and i used only a little of it to make this tank from scratch. the bust came out a little wonky, i kept doing it over, and finally just left it because i got so frustrated!

same style as the one above, but this one came out much better.

awesome tank! it turned out great!

[miss.green.tea]

i love them all :3

[grimXromance]

i had a question about your halter "royal city" top. how did you create the halter strap? does it tie in the back or does it have a snap? just curious because i'm working on turning my bayside shirt into a halter tank.

[sublimev]

i love tanks too

[IndigoAquarius]

Awesome!!!

[Amie]

i had a question about your halter "royal city" top. how did you create the halter strap? does it tie in the back or does it have a snap? just curious because i'm working on turning my bayside shirt into a halter tank.

it's actually just one strip that i sewed on either side.
awesome, you should post when you finish it!

[lucyinthesky16]

i love these! especially the new york one, because i have an xxl "I <3 UB" shirt from school (UB=Union Board) it was free and i snagged it thinking i was going to do something with it, but then had no idea what. but you inspired me! thanks!
by the way, i saw a tutorial somewhere else on how to do the tops with the busts, like the audry and new york ones, do you mind if i post a link? i understand if you don't want me to because it's your project, but i figured it might save you the time of making a tut from scratch :D
or i could PM it to you and you could put it on the bottom of your first post...whatever helps!

[JLA]

Those look awesome! I find myself wanting to turn every shirt i own into a tank top.. or anything else without sleeves ;)

[Zazu]

Can you make a tutorial for the ILOVENY tank and the one you made from scratch

[Amie]

thanks a lot! i was actually going to make some video tutorials...but feel free to post the links, that's less work for me :] hehe. I might end up making tutorials anyway cause i know people have different ways of doing things...but yeah go ahead and post, i'm curious to see the tuts!

[lucyinthesky16]

okey dokee, here's the tute:
http://whatthecraft.com/tuts/surp.htm
hmmm...now that you mention it, i think it is a bit different than yours...but neat anyways! here's some more tutes from the same site if anybody is interested:
http://whatthecraft.com/tutorials.php
it's a pretty nifty site! :D
i can't wait to see your video tute! (hopefully on the show!)

[grimXromance]

so here it is. i couldnt figure out a neat way to add the halter strap so i just did a tube top with elastic in the top band. i still might go back and add the halter strap. i just need to figure out how to place it.
