For those who’re batch stitching and wish to improve the velocity, have a print that doesn’t love a CF seam, otherwise you’re out of clear elastic, this hack is intuitive and easy.
The Songbird Tank Prime has a seam on the CF with a ⅜” (1 cm) seam allowance, AND some further shaping to permit for the lovely gathers. All this hack does is remove that element. You are able to do this similar course of for both size of Prime.
Right here’s the way it appears
You can also make a separate sample piece or simply comply with these steps proper in your material, utilizing chalk to mark your minimize traces.
- Fold the CF seam allowance underneath by ⅜” (1 cm), parallel to the grainline and straight as much as the neckline, not curving across the notched space.
- Align the Sample piece on the brand new fold to the fold of your material (or mark a line for the CF in your paper, for those who’re making a brand new sample piece and align the sample piece on the brand new fold to this line).
- Hint across the hem, armscye, and the tiny prime line of the strap.
- Seize your Shelf Bra Sample piece and align the CF and the tiny prime line of the strap with the traces that you simply traced up to now. Hint the neckline of the shelf bra onto your material (or paper!) to kind the brand new neckline of the hacked Entrance.

Figuring out this little hack really provides a lot hacking potential to the Songbird Prime. Make the neckline curved (and make the shelf Bra match, after all!) to skip the V form, or make a single layer cami (skipping the shelf bra totally) for the speediest Songbird that layers so comfortably with a bra or as sleepwear… a lot chance.
Pleased stitching!
