You’ve got two options at this point. You can use your scissors to trim the excess fabric in half and finish with a fancy French seam, like in this video:
Or, if you’re eager to wear your newly adjusted tank, and you own a pair of pinking shears, you can pink the excess fabric and be ready to rock your tank top!
The French seam will definitely look fancier, but unless the tank is made from pretty heavy fabric, pinking shouldn’t affect the finished product’s comfort at all.
Here’s my new, size medium tank top:
Hurrah!
This is AWESOME. The pictures help immensely. With a recent 25-lb weight loss, I’m finding most tops not fitting anymore, looking kind of slobbish actually. With this, I can alter my faves.
I’m glad it was helpful!
Hi would you not take in at both sides to keep the top even and the centre in the centre?
