Ribbon-neck tank

YOU’LL NEED:

  • Tank top
  • Tape measure
  • Scissors
  • 1 yard ribbon
  • Fabric glue (such as Unique Stitch)
  • Sewing needle (optional)
  • Thread in same color as ribbon (optional)
1. Measure circumference of neckline and add 1”. Cut ribbon to that length.

2. Lay tank on flat surface, front facing up.

3. Make a thin bead of fabric glue down center of ribbon’s reverse side. Starting at one shoulder seam, adhere ribbon to shirt, lining up ribbon and collar edges. Continue until ribbon ends meet. Trim so that there is an extra ¼” of overlapping ribbon. Fold raw edge of ribbon under ¼”. Secure with fabric glue, then glue to shirt so ends of ribbon join. You can sew ribbon in place using a loose running stitch.
