Cornelia Josey Bra

Have you ever seen a bra kit and it was love at first sight? That was how I felt when I saw the Cornelia bra kit at B,Wear. It was so pretty, and so delicate. I bought it right away.I know most people think beige is boring, but I love the golden tones it has. I think it’s really pretty, and these golden tones paired with pink were beautiful.

I made this kit up into another Josey II bra. I do plan to try a couple of different patterns in the new year though.Here is my lovely Cornelia Josey bra. I love the lace on the upper cup. I loved it so much, I used it on the power bar, and on the side of the bra too.Oh, that is pretty.

The last couple of bras I made I didn’t use a bow. It wasn’t that they weren’t bow-worthy, but a bow just didn’t seem to fit them.This time it was the opposite. I cut out a pretty little green leaf, and it faded into the background. I didn’t like the look of it at all. This shimmery pink bow coordinates so well. It was perfect.This is my last post for 2021. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season, and I think we’re all hoping for a better 2022.

Happy creating!

Stocking the Panty Drawer II

This is just a short and sweet post.

I have been happily making more makes. Soon I will have a very full panty drawer and a full bra drawer too.

I really love this lace trim from Libelle. (It’s on sale too.)It works wonderfully with black, but there’s also brown and ivory in the pattern too. I decided to try it with a couple of pair of KS2286 panties in ivory.I think they’re equally as adorable as this lace trim on black.   What do you think? Do you have a preference?

Here’s the side and back view.

Then I decided to try the lace trim along the waistband without cutting it in half. Yes, I do like this trim on ivory as well.

I have four more pairs cut out on my cutting table and my panty drawer will be full to overflowing.

Happy creating!

Winter Dream

I cannot even begin to say how happy I am to have not one or two bras that fit so well, but I’m building a whole drawer full! It’s really a great feeling.

So as I’m happily sewing away, I’m catching up on some lovely kits I bought, and finally using them.

This latest bra is the Josey II (again). This time in a gorgeous kit from B,Wear. This kit was called Winter Dream.I’m also really pressing into sewing right now because we’re going to be moving! I need to sew now before I pack, and unpack.

Here’s my lovely new Winter Dream Josey.As well as having an applique leaf on the top of the bridge, I also added an appliqued flower to the lower bridge.

   Those little scrap lace appliques made their way onto the sides of the bra as well.

To match my Winter Dream Josey, I plan to use a few panties I’ve already made. These basic ivory ones will go nicely.

I’m also thinking for more of a pop of color, to try them with these.For that second option, here’s my bra and panties together. I guess which pair I choose will depend on my mood that day.

I have two more bras I plan to cut out and sew up before I start packing. My next couple of posts will be short and sweet.

Happy creating!
