I just completed my first (but definitely not my last!) SummerBasics Dress. It out of athletic knit from Pinecrest and I added the shelf bra out of power mesh. It’s a replacement for a much loved dress from Title 9 that has sadly gone missing in our move.
Such a wonderful and easily assembled pattern. Thank you!

This is the perfect basic tank pattern. I made three this summer – two from rayon lycra and one from bamboo lycra. The scoop is the perfect depth with great bra coverage. The FBA option is greatly appreciated.

This pattern is really fun and quick to sew. I made 2 in a row and I love both of them! I made the knee length dress and can’t wait to make the tank!

Perfect wardrobe essential! I’ve made a couple for layering and a couple for bedtime. Super comfortable and flattering too. I will make many more.

This pattern is so great, and easy to make! I was able to make a maxi dress out of 2 yards of fabric! And I’m 5″10″ tall! Maxis are never long enough for me, so I love that I can make my own!

This is a great pattern. I live in the south where summer dresses are a must have.

I’ve made several summer basics dresses and I love them! I especially love making them with a gathered skirt. Tessa did a fabulous tutorial showing how to create the gathered skirt and it worked perfectly. I like that these patterns are all so simple to make, but customizable and teach me new skills all the time.

One of my favorites! I’ve made several now. They are comfortable to wear and can be dressed up or down. Works great with the Canyon Cardigan on a cooler Summer day. The instructions are perfect for me.!

I have made two of these dresses last year. The dresses fit so well. My favorite feature is the scooped back neckline, it’s low enough to be cool but not so low it shows off bra straps. I live is HOT HOT Texas and practically lived in these dresses last year. The instructions for the pattern are easy to follow. What I really love about Love Notions is the links to video instructions at all the tricky spots. This pattern is also a create base pattern for hacking.

I have made several of the tank tops and all are great, with quick and easy construction and an FBA piece. I haven’t made them with the shelf bra, just the main pieces. They fit so well, I am very happy with them, normal tanks on me show my bra straps but these cover them perfectly. I am going to make the dress next.

Such an easy way to look put together for the hot summer months! The tank dress is easy to dress up or down depending on your accessories. I need more of these!

The name Summer Basic is very appropriate. Perfect summer tank to dress up or dress down. Have I mentioned how I LOVE the full bust options on Love Notions patterns?

Made the summer tank in less than 2 hours as a new sewist! The patterns are easy to print and I love that you can select your sizes and adjust the patterns to fit your needs. Also, love that there are multiple options in one pattern!
