Imagine a world where your tank top offers the support and coverage of a bra without actually having to wear one. That world is possible, and today, we're going to make it a reality together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tank top design is a perfect fit for various activities, from lounging around the house, doing yoga, running errands, to even a night out on the town &#8211; depending on the fabric and style you choose. This piece promises the freedom to move with ease and confidence, free from the constraints of traditional bras. Furthermore, it contributes to reducing your laundry load, simplifies your wardrobe, and minimizes dressing time &#8211; who wouldn't love these benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, we're going to walk you through the process of making your own built-in bra tank top. You don't need to be a professional seamstress to follow along; we've made it simple enough for beginners, and engaging enough for seasoned sewists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be the first to admit it is not truly a bra but it is something that will support you while keeping you cool in the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e-500x375.png\" alt=\"tank top pattern\n\" class=\"wp-image-79393 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e-250x188.png 250w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/e.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
