Greenstyle Staple Tank Revisited

I hate to admit this, but I didn't remember making the Greenstyle Staple Tank before. It's one of the patterns on sale for April and I thought I'd make one as I can always use a new tank top - especially as the weather heats up. When I saw the pattern in my downloads on the website, I had to look in my file cabinet to find the pattern. It was no where to be found. I only know I made it before as I apparently tested the pattern and am in the listing photos.


I had to take a look at the pattern instructions and print my size(s) up. I decided to use this fun DNA print athletic brushed poly (abp) from Zenith & Quasar. It is a design by Robyriker.  I love the abp for a cool and comfy summer tank. I'm wearing RTW joggers that I bought many years ago. 


I did bands on this Staple Tank and notice that the one I made years ago I did a binding. I also noticed that the old one looks like it fits better above the bust. See my first one in my blog post HERE.


The Staple Tank front and Back both have almost the same amount of scoop. The front is about 1/4" lower. Definitely mark your back somehow so you don't put it on backwards.


See those wrinkles I have above the bust? I think those are due to me being too short for this pattern. I definitely need to remove length about the bust to correct this. I think I could get by with only removing the length from the front as the back looks fine. 


The fit issues don't bother me and I won't bother trying to "fix" this Staple Tank, but definitely something to keep in mind if I make it again. Fit issues like this is why I really appreciate patterns that come in petite sizing. 


The Staple Tank is on sale through the end of the month of April.
