Scribbled flowers for a Santa Fe Top – Sew Anemone

https://sewanemone.wordpress.com/2016/08/05/scribbled-flowers-for-a-santa-fe-top

Scribbled flowers for a Santa Fe Top. August 5, 2016. September 15, 2016. A quick post, mostly photos, to show off my first make of the Santa Fe Top by Hey June. I was in love with this pattern the minute it came out and snapped it up instantly. I sewed this up at the end of June and have worn it numerous times since. The loose flowing shape is breezy and comfortable, perfect for the hot days of summer. Garment Cost $22.13 CAD (costs include taxes, shipping, exchange and duties). The base cost of the pat...

Watson Bra in lace – Dress Handmade

https://dresshandmade.com/2017/02/01/watson-bra-in-lace

Imagine – Make – Wear – Repeat. Watson Bra in lace. February 1, 2017. February 21, 2017. Continuing on my quest to make my perfect bra, I decided to give the Watson Bra, by Cloth Habit, a try. I may be the very last seamstress on the planet to make this bra, I know. And I wore it to sewing class last night, of course, since it is my most recent make. As you can see, the straps I salvaged off one of my RTW bras are just barely long enough – I have them fully extended without a millimeter to spare. Simplic...

Boylston Bra in Liberty Print – Dress Handmade

https://dresshandmade.com/2017/01/31/boylston-bra-in-liberty-print

Imagine – Make – Wear – Repeat. Boylston Bra in Liberty Print. January 31, 2017. February 21, 2017. I made another Boylston Bra; this time in a very special Liberty tana lawn that was gifted to me by a close friend. There isn’t much to say about this one since I just finished my previous version. The strap elastic in the Bra Maker’s Supply Small Finding Kits is wider than I was expecting. I don’t love the way it looks, but by golly it is stable. All about it). It seems (ha! Orange Lingerie Boylston Bra.

Boylston Bra in crepe – Dress Handmade

https://dresshandmade.com/2017/01/25/boylston-bra-in-crepe

Imagine – Make – Wear – Repeat. Boylston Bra in crepe. January 25, 2017. February 21, 2017. Whenever I tell people I make my clothes they seem surprised at first, then nod their head, and say something about how their grandmother or mother used to sew. But there are a few items, that non-sewing people almost always struggle to believe I made myself – bathing suits, jeans and bras. Do they think they are traditionally made by machines? I made my first bra at Camp Workroom Social. I’m telling you, th...

A not so boring beige demi-cup Boylston Bra – Sew Anemone

https://sewanemone.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/a-not-so-boring-beige-demi-cup-boylston-bra

A not so boring beige demi-cup Boylston Bra. July 27, 2016. September 15, 2016. It’s been a while since I posted about progress on my undergarment goals. I must admit I’ve gotten a bit behind on these goals, distracted by other fun projects like pattern testing and jeans making. The next challenge I’d set for myself was to make a demi-cup or plunge bra . At long last here’s a post on my newest bra(s)! This lace non-stretch lace is absolutely stunning and I love how delicate this bra looks made in all lac...
