I’m not sure why, but one night last week, I decided that I needed another bra. So I got my box of bra making supplies, chose the fabric, grabbed the foam and got to cutting and sewing the cup and band from fabric and foam. After procrastinating until 3 o’clock the next day, I finally got started on it again and managed to finish it later that night, but not before a ton of mistakes along the way. I’ve yet again discovered that it does help to read the instructions and not just skim them, even if you’ve already made a pattern twice before. Especially with bras, order of construction is very important.
This fabric was called Lingerie Satin Black – non-stretch, they were not lying about the non-stretch. It wasn’t the most pleasurable to sew with but it got the job done. For the back, I used the same black stretch stuff as I’ve done for the others. I did follow the strap instructions this time, mainly because I didn’t have enough black strap elastic to do anything else really. This also means that it’s currently on the largest option in the straps but I think it works?
I really like the look of this one, the tiny leaves and colour make me very happy. I’m exited to start wearing it out. I hope it will be as comfortable as the other two!
