Ok, this is a quick post. Bra No.4 finished tonight.
This was some lace I purchased from ebay and I actually gave some to Sigrid because she kindly helped me out with all my notions I needed to complete this bra.
I love the rose pattern and I have quite a bit of the lace, enough to make another bra and probably 2 or more pairs of pants which is ideal. There was one little problem with the width of the lace, in that I had to add a little fabric to the end of one or two pieces, but it doesn't show in the bra because it has been disguised in the seam allowances and the wire casing.
A nude coloured power net has been used for the stretch back, but really isn't a problem and doesn't show through.
The black stretch fabric is from my stash. If I get time, I want to make the panties to go with this bra tomorrow and maybe cut out those last two shirts before I head off on another business trip this week lol.
Catch you later........
A beautiful bra ,well done

These are so gorgeous and I applaud you for making this pattern up over and over. You will have every detail imprinted in your memory.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJudith, Mary and Cal, thank you for your comments - my panties are part-constructed so I'll have another set. Another thing is that these are not a 2 day project for me but around 4-5 hours, so when time is short, I can make a bra and feel I have achieved something.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful bras and panties you have been making. I really do like how the roses don't match on the front. Gives it an unique look.
