Pattern Details:
The Songbird Top is a knit camisole with an internal shelf bra and self-fabric bound neckline edges. The self-fabric bound underarm edges extend into straps that are easily customized in length before being attached to the strap's ring at the back. The top has a cropped length or a longer, high-hip length option. The center front seam supports delicate gathers at the center front, emphasizing the V neckline.
For this version of the top, we chose our Hudson Tencel Cotton Jersey. The cotton content gives it structure and comfort, while the Tencel lends just the right amount of drape. This is a 4-way stretch fabric perfect for this type of stretchy garment.
Our Sewing Experience:
Jessamy was part of the testing for the Songbird Set. She chose to sew the cropped view of the tank top in the color Raspberry and did not make any modifications to the pattern. Jessamy sewed the size 6, which is what she measures in the size chart.
