The two tanks I'd already finished weren't eligible, so I whipped up another that met the contest guidelines. The focus of the contest is to use embellishment to make a simple look interesting and fabulous. I decided to go back to my original inspiration and cut my applied bindings, as well as to use a flatlock stitch again on the seams.
If you're a member of Pattern Review, please consider voting for me! Only if you think mine is the best, of course. And if you don't...then remember that a vote for someone else is a vote against me ;)
The flatlock worked a LOT better on this version, so I've concluded that a beefier fabric is needed for that kind of stitch. I love how the ladders look like an imitation of the pattern on the fabric.
This was a fun make, and unless the contest required embellishment I'm sure I would have chickened out on cutting the bindings (again). So thank you, Pattern Review, for pushing me!
Voted!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteI love the stripes on this one. Time to vote!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is really cool! It's a little hard to photograph, though, some pictures were making me go a bit blind. There are a few other colorwarys as well, I think.
DeleteLOL, that was me that suggested you should enter the tank contest. I hope you win and I already voted for you.
