The Axis Tank is the ultimate comfortable bra. You can wear it alone, layered with another bra, or to sleep in. Worn with a shaped, supportive bra, the Axis Tank distributes tension around your torso, relieving tight spots and uncomfortable restriction. It’s just the thing to layer with sheer tops, and is a super comfortable option to wear under sweaters and layers. Two neckline options work with a range of clothing styles, and both options are available with or without beautiful geometric design lines, creating panels that can be used for color blocking or trim insertion.

Garment can be entirely constructed with a sewing machine, serger/overlocking machine optional. Techniques required include zig zag stitches, pinning + sewing curved seams, and understitching seam allowances.

If you need large bust options, see the D/E cup sizing. and Complete Pattern Bundle.

You may not sell garments made using this pattern.

The Axis Tank is an unlined cropped tank top bralette, designed to be worn as a comfort or layering garment. It is entirely elastic free. Four different views feature the tank with scooped and high necklines, with and without different design panels. The views without panels feature only one seam in the garment body, up the center back. This makes the Axis Tank a quick sew, as well as excellent for those for whom pressure points are a concern.

  • Brittany

    The Axis Tank has proven to be versatile and incredibly comfortable. Sophie has planned for the fact that patterns are not one-size-fits-all, and has a ton of excellent resources on her website to make adjustments to patterns so that your piece is perfect for YOU.

  • String Thing

    This pattern has replaced all other foundation garments in my life. I've sewn it over a dozen times. I've hacked it, made it in fabrics it was not meant to be in and it works out every time. It is not hyperbole or exaggeration when I say this pattern opened up my mind to wearing clothes that worked with my sensory needs and not against them.

  • Wavy Lady Makes

    I literally wear an Axis Tank at least once a day - sleeping, undergarments, lounging, exercising, cute little crop top to go to brunch in, you name it, my Axis Tanks will do it! Such a beginner friendly pattern for knits, accessible to essentially anyone with a sewing machine. Love it!

  • NGAZ

    When I put on my Axis tank, it feels like nothing bad can happen to me because I'm wrapped in a beautiful hug.
