Allie Olson - Kila Tank

The Kila Tank sewing pattern is a fitted tank top designed for stretchy knit fabrics. A slight racerback design gives this top a sporty look. Kila’s deep scoop neckline and armholes are finished with a bulk-free binding method that mimics ready-to-wear techniques.

The Kila Tank has several inches of negative ease making it a great basic layering tank top. Kila can be tucked into high-waist pants, overalls, and skirts. Because it’s sewn in super stretchy fabrics, Kila is also a great workout or pajama top for hot weather.

  • Pattern is offered in sizes 0 to 18 (B-cup) and 12 to 30 (D-Cup).
  • Paper pattern is printed double-sided on lightweight copy paper.
  • 1/4" seam allowances included.
