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
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
At the beginning of April, after I had completed my fitting of the Make Bra DL02, I decided I really wanted to try to get several neutral colored bras done to wear under light colored clothing this year. I have made many beige bras in the past, but they have seen a lot of use … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A Gold Josey Bra
The Make Bra patterns have been on my radar for a while, but I haven’t been prioritizing them because I haven’t seen that many reviews of these patterns, and especially not for people in larger cup sizes. Last year the Make Bra DL03 was one of the pattern options for the Bee on a Wire … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Make Bra DL02 Pattern Review
This pattern was on my long-term to-do list, but it got bumped up when I was taking the Bra Fit Clinic class and needed to wait for some supplies to arrive in the mail to work on my main project. So I went down a road of side quests trying some wire-free bra patterns I’ve … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Porcelynne Aphrodite Bralette Pattern Review
My last post went into a deep dive on this pattern, so this is going to be more of a quick “look what I made” situation. When I was ordering some of Emerald Erin’s specialty wires, I couldn’t help myself and bought a few of the fancier Black Beauty kits as well, including the Cassiopeia … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Another Black Beauty Bra

The Emerald Erin Black Beauty Bra is probably one of the better known bra patterns on the market, but it tends to cater towards the smaller size ranges. I didn’t think I would ever be able to fit, so I’d been … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Emerald Erin Black Beauty Bra Pattern Review
I’ve been buying the BRAdvent Boxes from Bra Builders the past two years (2023 and 2024) and it’s become a fun tradition for me and my sister to open daily packages and share pictures with each other. This year since she was visiting home for the holidays, we were able to open some packages together … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Happy BRAdvent 2025!
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
