A new top for a new body

Today I went to buy a new sports bra at a really nice Running Store. While there I took a quick look at tops and shorts, dreaming of when I can wear something so skimpy and adorable. I had on a t-shirt I had made recently and realized it fit me quite well and would be a great basis for a tank.

So I got home and literally just whipped it out.

Hot dog, how cool am I?

It's the top in the post below this one, though the 2nd top I made is a size smaller and better fitting. I made the tank exactly the same though I took out the center back seam. The armholes are the same size as well as the neckline, I just turned those under about 3/8" and basted them down by hand, pressed well then used the coverstitch close to the edge.

Oh, and the material was one I got over a year ago from Fabric.com that was specially for fitness garments. I have enough for another top and want to try to bind the edges. I'm still not too good at binding, but I have to learn some time.

And yes, I'm flexing my muscles and showing off how much slimmer I am now.
