Greenstyle Creations Lille Tank

I recently pulled this fabric off my shelf to make something. Something that I will share on my blog later on. After I cut out my pattern, I had just a bit of this fabric leftover. I really didn't feel like trying to fold my scrap up to put back on the shelf. So, I thought - why not make a Greenstyle Creations Lille Tank?

It is summer after all and in Texas one can never have too many tanks. I had so little of this fabric, that I did not have enough for the bands. I dug in my scrap bin and found some black athletic brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar. I love how the black bands look.

I have no idea what this fabric is made of. It was a $1/yard purchase from Golden D'or during one of their amazing Clearance Room Sales. I think I bought 6 yards of it and I have finally used it all up.

I love the racerback of the Lille. I feel like it covers enough of the back to be work appropriate. Yet it is narrow enough to need a racerback bra worn under it.

I love my new Lille and think it's going to be worn a lot before summer ends.

All Greenstyle tank  patterns happen to be on sale 25% off with the code GreatTankSAL through July 21st!

Zenith & Quasar Constellations

Are you tired of my Zenith & Quasar reprint posts yet? I hope not - I have a few more possibly planned. It depends on how well my move goes...

This is the Constellations print. This print was the first ever strike off I did for Zenith & Quasar! Below is a photo of the back of the top I made February 2015!

And here is the Greenstyle Creations Lille Racerback Tank I made May 2019!

The Lille Racerback Tank is great for working out in or for casual wear. I used a white supplex for the bands.

I did not wear a racerback bra for my photos - so no photos of the back.

I have also made leggings with this Constellations print before. I probably made these in 2017.

As you can see from the photos above, the more recent print of the Constellations is slightly more purple.

I love it regardless of the color. Be sure to check out all the prints at preorder through June 29th! Check them out at https://www.zenithandquasar.com/product-category/preorder-r34-reprints/

Greenstyle Creations Lille Racerback Tank or Dress

I've had fun joining in the Greenstyle Fit Capsule Challenge. I've made 3 items. I was really hoping to make a few more, but time got away from me. Tomorrow (02/25) is the last day to get 25% off all the activewear patterns from Greenstyle! My latest addition to my Fit Capsule is the Lille Racerback Tank.

I made these Strides earlier in the month and wanted to make a Lille to go with them. I have a few other pairs of leggings that needed a coordinating top as well, and this Lille will go with all of them.  See my blog post about the Strides HERE.

I used a swim knit from Zenith & Quasar for my Lille. This print is near & dear to me as I spent hours meticulously coloring these diatoms which are a vintage scientific illustration by Ernst Haeckel. I also have this print in my Spoonflower shop HERE.

The racerback is really nice for allowing completely free movement of the shoulders. The binding came out perfect and looks so good.

I graded out the hips more than I needed based on my measurements so that I could bet a looser more flowy fit and love how it came out. The Lille does come with an option to do a banded hem on the tank as well. The Lille also has 4 dress options.

The Lille also has the option for a built in shelf bra, Which I included and added bra cups to. I want to be able to wear it without a bra. The Lille has 2 neckline options: higher and scoop. I did the scoop neckline.

I'll definitely wear this Lille for more than working out. I can see myself wearing this with capris on a cruise or at the beach. I might even wear it to work with a cardigan or jacket.

I can't wait to make another Lille. I already have fabric for one that I bought this weekend.  Be sure to grab the Lille while it, and all the other activewear patterns, are on sale for 25% off. The Lille was also recently updated to include layers for printing and the armhole has been made slightly lower. I used the original pattern file. I'm 5' tall and the original armscye is perfect on me.
