Tailgate Tank Top

Are you looking for a fun, easy Tank Top to wear to the game?


Grab yourself a plain ole tank top.
You will also need some ribbon and thread in your school colors.

Our colors of choice are Purple and Gold.

Cut shoulder seams.


Fold edges 1 1/2" sew.  
This will make a loop to put ribbon thru. 


For an extra touch we added an applique design.
Applique is optional, but we used a
Fleur de Lis from
She has some very cute designs!


Loop the ribbon thru both side and make a bow.

Ta-da

You have a Tailgate Tank Top

“We’re not here for the game. The game is nothing. The game is crap. The game makes me sick. The real reason we Americans put up with sports is for this: Behold, the tailgate party. The pinnacle of human achievement. Since the dawn of parking lots, man has sought to fill his gut with food and alcohol in anticipation of watching others exercise.” Homer Simpson

  3. Cute! Although I'm from Tennessee where everyone bleeds orange, my husband is from Louisiana and is a die-hard LSU fan so I've learned to be an LSU fan first and a TN fan second. He would love it if I made myself a tank top like this!

  5. Cute idea! I really like how you did the ribbon on the straps! I thought this was the Saints at first and I was going to have some MAJOR problems. ;)

    I think I might have to make one with a BIG burnt orange LONGHORN! :)
