DIY Drawstring Waist Dress – Miri Tank Top Pattern Hack

DIY Drawstring Waist Dress – Miri Tank Top Pattern Hack

Hello sew-friends! Today I'm excited to round out this month's celebration of the Miri Tank Top pattern with a new hack. In case you missed it, this month I created a brand new step-by-step video sewalong for the Miri Tank. Click here to catch up on all the posts.

The Miri Tank is an A-line shaped tank top, fitted with a bust dart and cropped to end at the high hip. It comes with both a scoopneck and a v-neck. The neckline and armhole are finished with an all-in-one facing, sewn with the burrito method. It's a really clean finish, completely covers bra straps and feels very stable (no shifting or falling out of place). This pattern is size 0 to 32 with three cup size options for EVERY size. The cup sizes are A/B, C/D AND E/F. So you're less likely to need to make a bust adjustment.

Hello sew-friends! I have a new dress to share with you today! It's the last in my recent series of unseasonable clothing. lol I started making this dress in August or September and finished it in late October. I wanted to try to get it done for my trip in October but alas it didn't make the cut. And now it's November and it's a little too cold to wear it. Sure, I could layer on tights and turtleneck but these colors feel so summery. That said! I think it's a really pretty and unexpectedly, it feels very Regency to me. (If you're curious what Regency style dresses look like, check out this Pinterest board.)

So, to go with my Regency dress, I thought it would be fun to talk about one of my favorite authors, Jane Austen. But first, let's talk about the dress.

DIY V-neck tank and shorts set – Miri Tank and Flint Shorts

Hello! I'm back with another not-seasonally-appropriate but much loved DIY to share. And, it's a matching two piece set–often called a two-piece-setacular here in the sewing world. Just like last week's swim top, I made this set for my trip to Hawaii last month. It was a really lovely trip and so nice to get away and explore the islands. Before the trip, I had a long list of things that I wanted to make (isn't that always the case!). I didn't get through all of them but I did manage to whip up this cute set. The top is an early version of my Miri Tank Top that I had never fully finished and the shorts are the Flint Shorts by Megan Nielsen.
