If you’ve been on the lookout for an easy-to-sew, versatile tank top pattern, the Ashley Tank Top Sewing Pattern is exactly what you need! I designed this top with casual elegance in mind—something you can throw on with anything and instantly look put together. Whether you’re pairing it with a fun Mila Mini Skirt, Ava skort, Diana trouser, the flowy Jasmine Maxi Tiered Skirt, a pair of shorts, or some chic denim (psst…I’ve got an upcoming denim jeans pattern!), this tank top will be a perfect match.
I’ve always wanted to make a simple top that looks great in any setting, whether you’re heading out for a laid-back brunch or looking for a base layer for a more dressed-up look. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good wardrobe staple? This tank top is perfect for layering under blazers, oversized button-up shirts, or even for creating a statement look on its own.
Features You’ll Love
The Ashley Tank Top is designed to offer a balance of style and comfort, with these standout features:
- Fitted Silhouette: Hugs your body in all the right places, perfect for layering or wearing on its own.
- Neckline: Classic crew neck for a timeless look. Versatile enough to pair with almost anything, whether casual or dressed up.
- Stretchy Fabric Fit: Made to fit snugly with fabrics that have 80-100% stretch, offering the right amount of flexibility and ease of movement.

Color-Blocking Your Ashley Tank Top
If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try a color-blocked version of the Ashley Tank Top? Lately, I’ve been playing around with different color combinations, and I’m obsessed! Imagine combining pastels or bold, contrasting colors. You can even experiment with different fabric textures for a completely unique twist on this simple pattern. The Ashley Tank Top allows you to get creative with your design and fabric choices—making it entirely your own!
Comfortable & Stretchy for Everyday Wear
Made with fabrics offering 80-100% stretch, this tank top hugs you in all the right places without feeling tight or restrictive. It’s the kind of sewing project that comes together quickly but still feels special every time you wear it. Plus, the fabric options for this top are nearly endless—you can go for a sleek, fitted look with a ribbed knit or something super cozy with a soft jersey.
Fabric Recommendations and Materials Needed
One of the best things about the Ashley Tank Top is its flexibility—you don’t need a lot of fabric, and the materials are easy to source! Here’s what you’ll need for this project:
Fabric Recommendations:
- Ribbed knits (for a fitted, sleek look)
- Stretch jersey (for a softer, cozier finish)
- Stretch bamboo or modal (if you’re going for a lightweight, breathable option)
- Cotton spandex or Lycra (for added durability and stretch)
Choose fabrics with 80-100% stretch to get the best fit and comfort.
Materials Needed:
- The Ashley top pattern
- 0.4 to 1 yard of fabric, depending on the size and whether you choose to color block
- Clips or pins
