When I finished the Papao pants I had a remnant that was just big enough to squeeze out this linen tank top. I made bias tape from the last few scraps of fabric to finish the neck and shoulder openings. If you need a simple pattern for tank tops, summer blouses and simple tops with long or short sleeves, this is what you need. So far I’ve made it at least six times, and there will definitely be more.

The Elisabeth top works great with the Papao pants as a faux jumpsuit. A simple tank like this is excellent for layering, too. Mönsterfabriken always draft their patterns very well and this is no exception. The neckline and armsyce are sitting exactly where I want them. My first tester version in white linen from last summer is a wardrobe staple.

Pattern: Elisabeth from Mönsterfabriken Size: 88 cm (one size down)
