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 we chose our organic cotton jersey, a 95/5 blend of cotton and spandex. This fabric has great recovery and a dry hand, making it perfect for any project that needs good stretch! It is on the heavier side at 7oz/sq yard, and when sewn up in a fitted garment, offers good support and light compression.
Our Sewing Experience:
Here, Jessamy is wearing the songbird tank in a size 10, larger than her typical size, to achieve a looser, more blousy effect. She is wearing the tank length, tucked into her skirt.
