Why does my doll's tank top look so terrible!!
Your pattern is OK but you are probably using the wrong type of knit.
But don't rule out that your pattern is at fault.
I am giving you a perfect tank top pattern if you are subscribed to my newsletter. You can get on the mailing list HERE and get access to lots of free patterns mainly for 18" dolls.
The 18" doll Tank Top for knits
- Easy to sew and looks great
- Nice fit and doesn't need ribbing bands
- Fast to make using second hand t-shirts
Choose the right type of knit and your finished tank top will look great and fit great.
Below is one tank top made from a single knit fabric and one made from a tank top of mine that was made from the fine ribbing fabric. The knits don't look all that different until you try to sew them.
Logan is so happy that he got to wear the good tank top. Jenny is not so happy but she knows she will probably get Logan's tank top as soon as the photo shoot is over.
This tank top is quick and easy to sew, using strips of the t-shirt knit as bands that sew on, fold over and stitch in place with no special edge finishing. Both the single knit and the double knit are good to sew with no overlocking or serging.
