The Natalie Knotted Tank By Ellie & Mac

With the warmer weather finally here, I thought it was the perfect time to share my latest make, the Natalie Knotted Tank Top. I made mine in this gorgeous ITY fabric from ABC Fabric, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The lightweight drape and soft feel of ITY make it an ideal choice for summer garments, keeping you comfortable while still looking stylish.

This was my first time sewing the Natalie Knotted Tank, and it definitely won't be my last! The pattern was enjoyable to sew and came together surprisingly quickly, making it a fantastic project for a weekend make. I chose the relaxed-fit version with the flattering V-neckline, which gives the top an effortless, casual look that's perfect for everyday wear.

One of the things I love most about this pattern is its versatility. As well as the relaxed-fit V-neck version, the pattern also includes a scooped neckline option and a fitted version, giving you plenty of opportunities to customise your wardrobe. Whether you prefer a more relaxed silhouette or something more figure-hugging, there's an option to suit your style.

The knotted front detail adds a lovely design feature that elevates a simple tank top into something a little more special. It's the kind of top that works equally well paired with jeans, shorts, skirts, or layered under a cardigan when the evenings get cooler.

If you're looking for a quick, versatile sewing project that you'll reach for again and again, I'd definitely recommend giving the Natalie Knotted Tank a try. I already have plans to make several more in different fabrics and colours!
