Step 1

Measurements

Tank top measurements

Choose a tank top preset and enter the measurements used to draft the front, back, neck binding, and armhole bindings.

Important fit note

Patterns generated by Nastix Patterns are calculated base drafts created from your measurements and selected settings.

We strongly recommend checking the 5 x 5 cm test square, making a test version, and verifying fit before cutting final fabric.

Measurement tips
Main measurement diagram for the tank top chest hem armhole

Chest

Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust. Do not add ease manually; use the ease field.

Top length

Measure from the high shoulder point near the neck to the desired hem.

Strap width

Strap width controls shoulder coverage between the neckline and armhole. Very narrow straps need testing in fabric.

Armhole

Armhole depth controls how low the sleeveless opening sits. The armhole binding is calculated from the generated curve.

Bindings

Bindings are shortened by the stretch ratio. Check fabric recovery and adjust after a test sew.

Ease and fabric

This draft is intended for knit fabrics. Stretch, recovery, and preferred fit may require manual correction.

Before generating

How these inputs affect this pattern

Use the notes below to understand which measurements shape the draft, which options change construction, and what should be measured again when values conflict. Presets are starting points; the submitted values drive the result.

Included

Four ready-to-print pattern pieces

The download contains a front and back cut on the fold, one full neckline binding, and an armhole binding cut twice. A 5 × 5 cm test square is included for checking print scale.

Measurements

Chest, hips, length, straps and openings

Chest and ease control the upper body width; hips and hem ease control the lower edge. Strap width, armhole depth, neckline width, and front and back neck drops shape the upper opening.

Fabric

Designed for stretch knit fabric

Use jersey or another knit with reliable recovery. The binding ratio shortens the bindings so they sit flat, but the best ratio depends on the stretch and recovery of the actual fabric.
