Next in my mini-series on Bee on a Wire projects, let’s take a look at the AFI Atelier Elegance Bra! This was a new to me pattern and a bit of an experiment. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding a good starting size with AFI patterns in the past, and did quite a lot … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Elegance Bra Pattern Review
In the second of my series of re-reviews after having participated in the Bee on a Wire class earlier this year, I’m going to be taking a look at another of the early patterns I tried – the Pin-up Girls Freja! Before we get too far into the review I did want to post a … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Freja Bra Pattern Review Update
I participated in the Bee on a Wire class in The Hive at the start of the year. It was a month long class to help participants identify a good starting pattern and having expert bra fitters walk us through making alterations to get to a perfectly fitting bra. Although I’ve been applying a lot … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Ruby Bra Pattern Review Update
Over the holidays I was quite busy and didn’t have a lot of time to sew, but I was still being very inspired by some of the monthly challenges in The Hive.

In one of these older posts she discusses how helpful Demystifying Bra Fit and Construction is in terms of getting a good bridge fit. I did experiments on fitting the bridge … More Book Review: Demystifying Bra Fit and Construction
After making my LilyPAD Marei strapless bra, I realized I’d been using much too large of a size in my other LilyPAD patterns. I wear my current Mysa Bralettes a lot, so I thought it would be good for me to try this pattern again and see if sizing down resulted in a better or … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Mysa Bralette, Again
Last year I bought the BRAdvent Box from Bra Builders and I had so much fun opening the packages every day that I knew I wanted to do it again this year. I think this will be a fun holiday tradition for me because I love having an advent calendar that is full of useful … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Happy BRAdvent 2024!
Ok, so October has really not been going how I planned. In my September wrap-up post I was unexpectedly working on the cherry lingerie wardrobe (which I finished) and I had proclaimed I would be working on a few other things to wear to an event on Halloween. However, October has been a month of … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Marei Strapless Bra Pattern Review
When I had previously planned wardrobe sewing, I never thought it would really extend to making collections of undergarments, but here we are. I became obsessed with this cherry fabric from Metro Textiles, and now I’ve got enough cherry undergarments to last me a lifetime. Or at least until the end of the year… After … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A Cherry Lingerie Wardrobe
