This month (June 2025), I’m featuring the Miri Tank Top with a brand new sewalong. Today’s video is the final installment for sewing the top. You can see all Miri Tank related posts on the sewalong page.
In today’s video, I share how to sew the side seams and tack down the facing. I'll show you how to tack down the facing by hand or by "stitching in the ditch". Finally, I'll show you how to press and sew the hem. Let's get started.
Watch the video above (or on YouTube) for all the final installment of sewing the Miri Tank Top pattern. See the time stamps below if you want to skip ahead to different sections.

About the Sew DIY Miri pattern:
The Miri Tank is a wardrobe building basic that will quickly become the shirt you reach for most often. This simple-to-sew top can be worn with skirts, pants or shorts for a variety of everyday outfits, throughout the year.
This A-line shaped tank top is fitted with a bust dart and cropped to end at the high hip. View A features a classic rounded neckline and armholes, while View B sports a V-neck in the front and gently angled armholes and back neck shaping. Both views are finished with an all-in-one facing. When made in a linen or cotton, the tank will maintain its A-line shape while worn. When made in a drapey rayon or Tencel, the shape will hang closer to the body.
This beginner-friendly pattern is drafted for sizes 0-32 and includes three cup size options for all sizes. Choose from A/B cup, C/D cup or E/F cup for a customized fit through the bust.
