This post has probably been more than a year in the making, and at another time would have been scattered over several posts. But I’m trying to get as much from my draft queue posted by the end of the year as I can, so today we are getting one epic blog post all about … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Jalie 3242 and Pin-Up Girls Men’s Underwear V.2 Pattern Reviews
I made the LilyPAD Lusamine a while ago during one of the Bra Sewing Bees when I was still really trying to work out how to best fit a bra. At the time I was happy with how it looked, but the fit was never really perfect. I was in the middle of that spiral … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Revisiting the Lusamine Pattern Review
The LilyPADesigns Lazulite bra was released earlier this year, right around the time that I decided I wanted to do a deep dive into fitting a bunch of the LilyPAD patterns. When it came out I was enamored with it – it’s such a pretty design with a lot of fun design options. I’ve been … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Lazulite Bra Pattern Review
Continuing on with my LilyPADesigns pattern round up, I’m finally moving on to the pattern that sent me down this rabbit hole back in March of this year. While I was working on my presentation for the Bra Bee, I took a look at a bunch of different cups and how they are shaped. From … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Labellum Bra Pattern Review
Continuing on from my most recent post, I’ve got another LilyPADesigns underwear pattern to review today. This post is probably going to be me spending way too long talking about the world’s simplest sewing project, but that’s sort of the vibe of this blog, so, it’s kind of par for the course. Anyway, today let’s … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Kisa Knickers Pattern Review
I was scrolling on Instagram and I saw someone bring up their end of year WIP purge. While I don’t really have a lot of true WIPs lying about, I have been wanting to do a deep dive on the LilyPADesigns patterns since April, and I do have quite a few planned projects that have … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Haru Knicker Pattern Review
I think this is the part of writing this blog where I tap the mic to see if it’s still on and blow heartily to clear away the dust and cobwebs. It’s been and continues to be a crazy year (for so many reasons), and I must admit I have largely let sewing fall by … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Lamina Bra Pattern Review
I posted my review of the AFI Elegance Bra a while back, but at the time I noted that I wasn’t entirely pleased with the fit of the bra because the upper cup was just a bit tight. I’ve gone back to remake the pattern and test my theory that a stretch upper cup would … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Elegance Bra Again
I reviewed the patterns I used in the Bee on a Wire class (the PUG Freja, the PUG Ruby, the AFI Elegance, and the La Bella Coppia Josey) a few months ago on the blog. I had always intended to make matching bottoms for each of these, but, as I discussed in my March and … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: From UFO to Finished Object!
And we are on to the final bra pattern I made as part of the Bee on a Wire class! The Josey was my most-sewn bra pattern in 2024, so perhaps it’s a bit odd that I would scrap my tweaked and tested pattern and completely start over, but I wanted to fully embrace the … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Josey Bra Pattern Review Update
