"Modern Fairytale" // Too Tight Tank Top Refashion

"Modern Fairytale" :)

It all started off as a tank top that was a little too tight though. 

I liked the sequin detailing on the arm openings & the little pocket on front.

I had some chiffon on hand that was the same color as the sequins.

Perfect match!

I really liked the beige/pink combo. Reminded me of "fairytale princess" colors...hence the name...

1. I cut open both sides of the tank top, even the armhole. 

 2. I cut out two triangles on the fold, with the top part straight, as shown.

To figure out how tall I wanted the triangles, I simply measured my cut in Step 1 + a couple inches (about 3"-5")

3. I folded over twice, and zig zag stitched, to keep the chiffon from fraying & make clean edges. 

(I don't have a serger!)

How the whole thing looks...

4. Next, I attached the first triangle as shown.

(Right sides of the fabric touching)

5. Next, I flipped over the front side of the tank.

6. I flipped it inside out &...

7. ...attached the other side of the triangle. 

(Right sides of the fabric touching! It should look inside out at this point)

8. I attached the triangle as shown. I folded over the chiffon to grab the tank top fabric. 

9. Lastly, I just hemmed the bottom part, by folding over twice & straight stitch!

TA DA!
