Self-drafted Tank Tops

Hello sewing friends.. As promised in the previous post, here are the finished tank tops.

I think I like more jersey knit fabric than the cotton knit, because it draped so nicely :) The pattern is self-drafted based/copied from my old rtw tank top and I will show you the process in the below post.
