That is the slickest trick I've ever seen !!! Imagine it in a metallic, or silk, maybe ? I have 3 tanks I don't wear since I lost some weight, because they gaped too much under the arms, even after being taken in. The knit they're made from is so soft, that even though my sewing machine has great knit stitches, and I used every trick I know for soft knits I just couldn't get rid of the underarm gape. I figured I'd need a serger I don't have to fix this problem properly. But now I am hopeful that this technique will not only give me a gorgeous new look for my tank tops, but also help to get rid of the gaping in the process. I've got loads of fabric pieces I can try it with, and if it works, I will be a very happy camper, because while losing weight is great, having clothes I'm fond of become completely unwearable is seriously annoying :-).
