I made two more Cloth Habit Watsons for Em. It’s awfully hard to say no, or not right now when told the Watson I made for her is all she wears. She said nothing else was comfortable.

After previously making her two Watsons, one with mesh for the band, and one with power net, she let me know the power net felt too tight for her. I ordered some mesh from Bra-Makers Supply. I’ll save my power net for me. Other than the mesh, I used supplies I had on hand for the bralettes.

One Long-Line Watson

Here’s the long-line Watson I made for Em.You might recognize the lace I used in this Watson as the same lace I used in the first Watson I made for Em. I thought the peach would look really nice with the charcoal mesh.

Here’s the first one I made with this lace.  Em loves the new color combination. That’s good news. I have more charcoal mesh for the next bralettes I make for her.

Here’s the bralette from the side.I’ve used fusible knit interfacing for the front cradle. I might need to buy some in black to use with the rest of the charcoal mesh I have. I don’t love the white behind this.

Here’s the back.There’s a little fold in the material where the band meets the hooks and eyes. Em lost some weight and the bands were too loose on her this time. I measured her again, and she’s two inches down around her rib cage. I had to take these in after I’d made them.

One Standard Watson

I had asked Em if she preferred the long-long bralettes, or standard ones. She didn’t know, so I made her one of each.I think this one is just adorable. The lace is from Libelle, a new Canadian source for me. I’ve ordered from her a couple of times now, and the quality is very good. The prices are even better.

When I ordered from Libelle most recently, I also ordered some mesh to make more bralettes for Em.I thought both of these were lovely, and fun.

Here’s the side view of Em’s standard Watson.And the back.There’s the same little tuck in the fabric on this bralette as on the long-line. It’s not too noticeable, and it did the job. It took the bralette in enough for her to wear them and adjusted the pattern for next time.

Other Projects

I have a few other projects cut out and am slowing getting to them. There’s an Angie bra all cut out, and another bra. And I have material all washed and ready to cut for a couple of Agnes tops.

By the end of this month, my time commitments are easing up a bit. I’ll have a little more time to sew and blog again.

   I hope you’re all finding time to sew, and having a great summer.

Happy Canada Day and happy creating!
