Axis Tank - Paper Sewing Pattern Bundle
Axis Tank - Paper Sewing Pattern Bundle
This bundle contains two full sewing patterns.
The Axis Tank is the ultimate comfortable bralette. 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 SPECIFICS 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. All openings are finished with a super easy binding method using your garment fabric.
This pattern includes all eight tank top views in all twelve sizes in both B/C and D/E cup sizing. (Can you imagine, we drafted 96 unique Axis Tanks??) If you need only one bust option, see the separate B/C cup sizing and D/E cup sizing.
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.
SUGGESTED FABRICS Knit fabrics with 50-75% stretch, preferably with a spandex content. Bamboo, Rayon, or blends with Cotton, Lycra, Silk, Spandex, Nylon, Tencel. 100% cotton tends to stretch out quickly. Measure stretch by marking out 4” of fabric, then gently stretch to max.

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!

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