Even though I really don’t go for skimpy undergarments, there were just too many pretty Friday French Cuts popping up as promotional materials for the Bra Bee class that I couldn’t resist. Plus, I didn’t have any undergarment patterns drafted specifically for non-stretch materials, so I thought it would be interesting to test out (and … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Friday French Cuts Pattern Review
After my last version of the Sahaara I thought I’d put the pattern away for a while, but when the 2024 Bra Bee beginner experience sew along was for the Sahaara, I decided to jump in and revisit the pattern. I originally wasn’t going to attend the beginner event this year, but I’m really busy … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A Fancy Sahaara
Long time blog readers will remember that I started working on the fit of the Aries Bra pattern way back in November. And finally, in April, I finished it! Spoiler alert: this post is going to be a bit of a heartbreaker because the finished bra is stunning, but doesn’t fit, despite having made several … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Aries Bra Pattern Review
March has been a busy month! It’s been exciting to collaborate with the Bra Sewing Bee on my “Figuring Out Fit” series, I’ve been able to finish some projects, and I even did some mending! I’ve been feeling much more energetic than I did in February, and though I have been busy, I think I’ve … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 March Wrap Up

I wanted to get the Odessa Corset top (which is currently free), and after reviewing so many fit … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Daisy Bralette Pattern Review
I have mentioned in several previous posts how much I was not loving my self-drafted Craftsy Boyshort pattern. Although I had considered the idea of abandoning the possibilities of boyshorts altogether, I have a few upcoming sets I want to sew that I think would just look so much better with this style of undergarment, … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Bravo Bottoms #2 Pattern Review
Despite having an extra day this year, February has flown by and I honestly don’t know where most of the time has gone. In terms of sewing, this hasn’t been the most productive month for me. I spent a long time recovering from getting sick at the end of January, and my energy levels have … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 February Wrap Up
Because I’m me, I tend to be a bit impatient and stubbornly try to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. Of course, I eventually come around to the fact that all of the advice I ignored while being stubborn was probably correct, and had I heeded such advice, I’d have … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: The Trials and Tribulations of Covering Foam
January has already been a busy start to 2024! Work is moving along at full steam, I’ve already traveled to judge a competition, and my sister has come home for a visit. This hasn’t left a lot of space for selfish sewing, but there was a bit of unselfish sewing prioritized this month, so even though I … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 January Wrap Up
After I finished up my last Sahaara, I thought I might put the pattern aside for a while, but given other projects that had been happening (more details on that in tomorrow’s monthly wrap-up post), I decided to make another with some final edits to the cup pattern, just so I could be happy with … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Sahaara, Again
