Of course, as soon as you post about waiting for supplies to arrive, they arrive! So back to the main track of bra sewing and fitting. When we last left off I had just received my first batch of sample underwires from Emerald Erin, and I was quite pleased with how the fit of the … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 8 – Goldilocks and the 5000 Underwires
I’ve been pretty thorough in documenting my fitting adventures with the Bravo Bra #2 and the Cashmerette Willowdale. What I haven’t been good about documenting is all the little road bumps along the way, like having the wrong size rings and sliders, waiting for underwire shipments, and generally having annoying sewing down-time in the middle … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A BJ Bralette Detour
In my previous post, I went down the rabbit hole of comparing three underwire bra patterns: the Pin-up Girls Ruby, the Bravo Bra #2, and the Cashmerette Willowdale. I’ve already made the Ruby several times (I’ve compiled a page with all my bra sewing adventures for handy reference) so I was primarily interested in getting … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 7 – Some Final Fitting Tweaks and Thoughts on Wires
It’s been an exciting month here on the blog, because I’ve actually been sewing! It’s also been an exciting month because I got to experience my first hurriquake, which was definitely a weird thing to live through. It’s a bit crazy to go from a weekend of storms to a weekend of 100+ temperatures, but … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 August Wrap Up

I detailed a lot of the fit adjustments I decided to make in that post (and why I thought I needed them), so I recommend checking it out if you need more … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 5 – Another Ruby Bra and Making Plans
Ok, so, I’ve made it back into the sewing room in much less time than I anticipated. Mostly because on a bit of whim I decided to sign up for the International Bra Sewing Bee online webinar/conference. It was a bit of a last minute decision, but I do have to give a shout out … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 4 – In Which I Realize I’ve Been Fitting It Wrong the Whole Time
July has been such a busy month it’s hard to believe it’s over already! I haven’t had a lot of sewing time, but I did manage to get a bit of Cricut crafting in here and there. I’m really looking forward to having time to move on to more substantial projects soon though. Sewing Progress … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 July Wrap Up
I hadn’t planned on doing any extra blog posts this month because I’m super busy, but my July Burda came in the mail today (yes; I’m still subscribed… but a more detailed post and thoughts on that another day) and there was an interesting advertisement that caught my eye and I thought warranted a bit … More Burda Curvy English
I didn’t think I’d get a lot of sewing done this month, but somehow June became the month of mending. Which isn’t super exciting sewing, but it’s also not nothing, so I’m rolling with it. Sewing Progress I didn’t work on any fun/new projects, but I did finally tackle some important items in my mending … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 June Wrap Up
