Buy the Kila Tank sewing pattern from Allie Olson. The Kila Tank is a fitted tank top designed for stretchy knit fabrics. A slight racerback design gives this top a sporty look. Kila’s deep scoop neckline and armholes are finished with a bulk-free binding method that mimics ready-to-wear techniques.

The Kila Tank has several inches of negative ease making it a great basic layering piece. Kila can be tucked into high-waist pants, overalls, and skirts. Because it’s sewn in super stretchy fabrics, Kila is also a great workout top or pyjama top for hot weather.

Suggested fabrics: The Kila Tank should be sewn using knit fabrics with at least 60% stretch and good recovery. If using a knit fabric with less than 60% stretch, the designer recommends sizing up at least one size for a comfortable fit. Cotton/spandex and rayon/spandex blend rib knits are ideal for the Kila Tank. 100% cotton knit fabrics are not recommended due to poor recovery. Fabrics weighing 5-9 oz/yd² are recommended.

Fabric requirements: Additional fabric may be required for directional prints or print matching.
