If September felt like an odd mix of fast and slow, October has been a whirlwind. It always seems like the “less busy” months somehow feel more so; probably because I try to cram all of the things in I haven’t had time for during the other months. Happily, I took another of the Fit … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2026 October Wrap Up
I’ve been feeling particularly scattered when it comes to sewing plans, goals, and output this year. I feel like once the spring Bra Fit Clinic ended, I’ve not had a lot of energy to focus on sewing or upcoming projects, and blog posting has been similarly unfocused (or just non-existent). I thought it might be … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Rapid Undie Reviews – Emerald Erin Edition
This is my fifth Make Bra DL02, and it might be my favorite so far. I’ve tweaked the pattern so at this point it fits great, the colors are some of my favorites, and I got to have a lot of fun using the pattern to show off lovely lace. This is a quick break … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Minty Make Bra DL02
My foray into the Make Bra patterns continues. Unlike the DL02, which was a more “standard” bra pattern, the Sew Comfy Bra was on my list as an oddity to test. The construction is unique and the materials are fairly different to most other underwire bra patterns. I wasn’t expecting too much success from this … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Make Bra Sew Comfy Bra Pattern Review
Since I’ve generally had good luck with the fit of the Make Bra patterns, I decided I wanted to continue on in my pattern testing adventures and try some of their underwear patterns.

When I started sewing bras several years ago, I was much more interested in learning to sew what I think would be generally considered as typical, standard, or everyday styles of underwire bras. Of course, once I started sewing bras, it quickly became a rabbit hole of styles, materials, and techniques to try. And despite … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Make Bra Ulla Sport Pattern Review
September has felt like both a very fast and very slow month. It feels like I haven’t spent as much time sewing as I would have expected, but I actually did finish a few projects and have a few more in progress. The past few weeks have been very busy at work, and I haven’t … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2026 September Wrap Up
August always feels like it goes too fast, usually because it’t the first month that seems to slow down after I have several intensely busy months, and I can never quite get caught up on all of the things that I push off to deal with in August. I will be honest – I haven’t … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2026 August Wrap Up
July has felt like the longest month ever and a whirlwind all in one. It’s usually a very busy month for me, and this year was no exception. I am still tired and trying to figure out what the routine is that I want to get back to, but I at least had a little … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2026 July Wrap Up
Apparently I cannot be trusted with a day off from work. While I had quite a few other things I should have been doing over this holiday weekend, a day off from work felt like the perfect excuse to sew after a month on the road, so I decided to fit in a quick project … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A Boring Beige Bra
