I’ve now made three tops using this pattern… a basic singlet in a merino blend as an under garment, and two tops with the knot (which I love as I can vary the length and tightness of fit) including one that I added cap sleeves to. I lowered the underarm on the tops as it felt too snug, but otherwise made it do the Cashmerette suggested size/cup size which is a great fit.
I hesitated a lot about buying this pattern because I have a bazillion tank patterns already. I'm so glad I tried this pattern though! It's just perfect. It's the tank I'd go buy in all the colours if it were in a shop. The only thing I do differently are the armhole bindings but that's just because I prefer a different technique than the one in the instructions
I have made two Saybrook tanks already. I spend a lot of time outdoors and canoe tripping which means that I’m always bending down and picking up. I wanted a tank top that gave me space to move but also kept all my bits covered and the saybrook delivered! Thank you Jenny and the Cashmerette team for this awesome pattern!
This is a nice tank pattern. My one quibble is the armhole at the underarms. I'm 5'7 and find the underarms waaay too high. They could easily be lowered an inch and still cover my bra band
What an awesome pattern! Goes together quickly and so versatile! I have made one with a cotton spandex and I love it. I did a quick FBA and was good to go. The fit is a curve hugging so if you prefer a looser fit you will need to size up.
I have a very physical job (lots of bending, stretching, lifting). In the summer tank tops are a must to keep cool, but I could never find any that fit right. I made several Saybrook tanks, customizing them with the higher neck in front (so I can bend over without showing everything!) and the lower neckline in back, lowered the bust curve, and I added about 3" to the length. they fit perfectly, sew up so quickly and easily! And an unexpected bonus-- all my coworkers keep telling me how great they look!
