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
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. There were a few fun challenges like a Christmas/Holiday themed bra and a Party themed bra, and I sort of ended up combining … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: White Christmas Josey
