Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 7 – Some Final Fitting Tweaks and Thoughts on Wires

September 5, 2023

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

Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 August Wrap Up

August 31, 2023

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

Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 6 – Comparing Bra Patterns

August 24, 2023

In my recent blog posts I have been contemplating the fit of the bras I have been sewing, which has led me down the rabbit hole of trying to find and understand how to achieve a better fit. I’d previously sewn with the Pin-up Girls Patterns (the Ruby and the Freja), but based on the … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 6 – Comparing Bra Patterns

Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 5 – Another Ruby Bra and Making Plans

August 19, 2023

In my last blog post I came to the realization that I’d been fitting my bras wrong for essentially my entire life. Cool. 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

Adventures in Bra Sewing: Part 4 – In Which I Realize I’ve Been Fitting It Wrong the Whole Time

August 8, 2023

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

Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 July Wrap Up

July 31, 2023

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

Burda Curvy English

July 3, 2023

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

Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 June Wrap Up

June 30, 2023

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

Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 May Wrap Up

May 31, 2023

I can’t even believe May is wrapping up. I feel like it’s been a whirlwind month, even though it’s been relatively calm in terms of travel and scheduled events. I did have a lot of stuff I needed to get done this month, though, so I still didn’t have a lot of sewing time. Sewing … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 May Wrap Up

Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 April Wrap Up

April 30, 2023

I sort of knew April was going to be a lost cause in terms of sewing, and it pretty much was. I did a few Cricut crafts as gifts, but not much else. Spring seems like it’s the busiest time for other things (work, side hustles, and volunteer efforts), so sewing takes a back seat. … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 April Wrap Up
