13 Fun Outfits with JUST ONE TOP
We are excited to share our favorite ways to style a tank top for any season.
We are both wearing the Songbird Tank Top, one half of the Songbird Skirt and Tank Top, a 2-in-1 sewing pattern you can find now at Sew Liberated: sewliberated.com/products/songbird-skirt-top-pattern
Watch the replay of our LIVE Songbird Top sew-along: www.youtube.com/@SewLiberated/streams
The Songbird Tank Top has two views, a full-length and a cropped view. We are both wearing the cropped view. The Songbird Tank Top includes and shelf bra and easy-to-adjust straps attached with rings.

The Burrito Method: Metamorphic Dress Sew Along
Does anyone know if it matters Which way you fold the fabric before you lay the pieces on it to cut? Right sides together or wrong sides?
As long you are are consistent, either is okay. Just make sure it is selvedges together, so that you are cutting on the grain.
4th time making these amazing trousers. I still use this tutorial each time. Thanks so much. I really love them. Linen viscose 2x loose and swishy and summery 1 x Japanese cotton, worn to death, 1x fine black wool suiting, so useful. This time in light weight teal wool with a viscose stripe. A winner for sure.
Thank you so much for this kind comment! I am so happy you love the pattern and tutorial.
I am in the process of making the Estuary skirt and I'm so excited! I made a pair of Arenite pants in a cotton gauze and they are some of my favorite pairs!
Yay! This makes us so happy.
Great, thank you. 🌹
I love your styling videos!! Keep them coming! ❤❤
Thank you! Will do!
I love all the styles!
Thank you!
Lovely style. 🧵🪡💖
Thank you! 😊
Love the background music and Meredith’s green fingernails! Looking forward to making this dress
Yay! Thank you!
I love seeing Saremy troubleshoot on the fly. I learn something new every time!
She is such a great teacher and sewist! We learn so much from her.
This was a great video! Lots of stylish ideas!
Yay, thank you!
❤❤❤
Aw, Meredith’s mom ❤ Love that picture!
She's the sweetest!
So cute!❤❤❤
Thank you :)
I love the Chanterelles as sweat pants! I already have four Songbird Tanks. The thing I like about them is the straps are fabric. They’re soft and the top is very supportive.
Soft + supportive is always the goal :)
Great vlog! Question, do you have a jeans pattern? And if not, when are you coming out with a jeans pattern? Looking forward to seeing them! 💕
We do not, and don't have jeans specific plans, but stay tuned for more pants soon!
I would never wear a top like the ones that both of you are wearing (in this video) except as an undershirt under many layers in the winter. My upper arms are so ugly that I have sleeves in my summer nightgowns. It would be so nice to have arms, legs, and breasts as nice as yours. I'm 76 years old.
Hi, if you can't do as you please at 76, when can you?? Please wear whatever you like, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks!
We want everyone to wear what makes them comfortable. I am sure your upper arms are fine, but I know those mental trolls can be strong and mean. If you prefer Songbird as a layering piece that is a great use for it! We hope that through sewing we can help you love the body you have, however you want to dress it.
Because your Brown skirt i buyed the songbird set straightaway❤
❤❤❤
Thank you :)
❤❤❤
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you!
2 fantastic videos. Saremy is helpful and inspires confidence . Her discussion about sewing jersey and using elastic has stopped me from shying away from sewing a garment like the Songbird. Thank you!
Isn't she the best! So happy you enjoyed it!
so grateful to have found you! luv luv luv your casual age appropriate (for any age) stylish wardrobe pieces ❤🎉
Yay! Thank you!
Love your tutorials. Will you be doing a sew a long for the songbird skirt as well?
We haven't planned one yet, but perhaps in the future!
Saremy is the BEST! ❤ I’ll be following along!
Thanks for watching!! 😊
thanks for all your tips ❤ bye from France
You are very welcome!
I love the skirt in ginham
Thank you!
Thank you. I have not been wearing any of my skirts (because I did not know that I could style them with any of the flat shoes I have to wear). I thought women in skirts had to be worn with dressy high hills (pumps). My health issues have made high hills dangerous for me. Time to get my skirts out and go back to wearing them again. .You are correct. All loose skirts should have hidden pockets in them.
I am so happy that this video was helpful! You can wear them with whatever shoes you love. Sneakers, sandals, boots, flats. We love mixing styles to create unique looks. Thank you for watching!
Love your style.
Thank you!
Love these styling vlogs. Have been trying to talk myself out of buying this pattern but tempted by the lace and pin tucks!
They are some really fun details, and so easy to customize!
Love the styling help! ❤
Thank you!!
Love this styling video! I just ordered fabric for the songbird skirt and tank top and I can’t wait to get it sewn up!
Yay! We are excited to see!
I’m almost finished sewing my first Songbird skirt (don’t think I’ve ever snapped up a pattern on the release day before!) so this video was perfect timing. So many great ideas ❤
Wonderful! We are so happy to hear it. Can't wait to see your skirt!
Lovely vlog ladies. Thank you. 💖🧵🪡
Thank you!!
I used to have a Lands End skirt just like this in denim, when my kids were Teenagers, I think. I loved it so much I wore it out and then they didn’t sell those any more. I have your pattern, but forgot what kind of skirt it is. I’m need to create myself a database of patterns and their styles. Most of my patterns are digital, so I don’t have envelopes with pictures. But I think I should definitely make this skirt very soon!
Can't wait to see your skirt!
I am in the middle of sewing the Strata top, and so glad to see this tutorial before I tackle the neck band as it can be tricky. We are having a rather chilly June in Scotland so I hope to wear my Strata in July…..
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought this today, to use as a simple pinafore. We shall see how it goes.
Yay!
love these tutorials! shelfful for me! Thank you so much
So glad it was helpful!
I love your pattern styles! This was a great video to showcase your patterns. Hoping to get sewing again this summer.
Thank you! 😊
Love your style!! You just showed up in my feed and I'm glad I clicked on your video. :-) I'll be checking out your site and tutorials. Thanks from another NC seamstress.
Heĺo,did you make the pattern or you bought them and where did you buy if answer is yes
Thanks for the question: the pattern is the Bedrock Tee sewing pattern: sewliberated.com/products/bedrock-tee-pattern
Judith can pack for a 2wk Euro vaca on thr Studio Tunic!
haha, indeed!
😂😂😂❤❤❤
:)
Loved the video- links to limestone and chanterelle are not right
Thanks for letting us know! We fixed it. Much appreciated
I love this dress! May I ask what pattern it is?
Thanks! It's the wrap dress Hinterland hack from our pattern making course, The Creative Hinterland.
Thanks for great sewing motivation 😊
Most welcome 😊
I love your patterns and your aesthetic. This was a fun video to watch , thank you ❤️
Thank you so much!
I just finished sewing a Hinterland dress a couple of days ago. I've actually made it three times now. One with each type of sleeve option. I love the pattern! I just made the sleeveless version with "Otter Assembly" fabric by Michael Miller. It came out super cute!
I love to hear this!! 🥰
I have made many hinterlands , in cotton jerseys, long sleeves , short sleeves for summer, then layer for autumn , cord sleeveless, cord long sleeves for winter …….I LOVE the hinterland, my all time favourite dress
Oh, thank you so much for sharing that. I’m so glad you’ve gotten so much out of it!
