Zola Top Juliana Martejevs sewing pattern.

Just when we thought all the biggest trends of the 90s had already made their comeback the tube top is back too. After bucket hats scrunchies tie dye and crop tops the tube top sewing pattern is finally having its moment again.

The bandeau sewing pattern isnt just incredibly comfortable in warmer tropical-style temperatures its also a brilliant beginner-friendly project. And the best part? You can sew two bandeau tops in one. This simple tube top sewing pattern is fully reversible so all you need to do is choose two contrasting fabrics and stitch them together.

What will you learn from this tube top sewing pattern? Youll get hands-on experience with shirring elastic and sewing elastic bands. By cutting the elastic to your own body measurements you can create a strapless top that fits you perfectly. With so many benefits its hard to believe the tube top sewing pattern comeback took this long!
