The … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: An Unexpected Challenge: AFI Maya Pattern Review
This month the Bra Sewing Community is celebrating BRAugust! It’s primarily an Instagram Challenge to post about Bra Sewing every day, but I’ve largely gone away from posting on Instagram so I decided to do a weekly summary here on the blog, instead of the daily posting just to keep a bit more manageable of … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: BRAugust Week 5
It’s really funny that before I started sewing undergarments I really couldn’t have cared less about if things matched or how they looked. If they “fit” and were functional, it was fine. I also really wasn’t into cutesy undergarments or frilly things with lots of lace.

Although the Bra Sewing Bee is over, I have extended my membership in The Hive so I can continue to participate in the ongoing meetings, challenges, and events that they are promoting throughout the rest of the year. One thing they have started doing is a monthly sewing challenge. Last month it prompted me to … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Cotton Bra Challenge
