After the beginner class I taught last month, there was enough demand for another class. So I scheduled a Shelley class.
Jeanette (Bra Making Academy) had left her Shelley bra set at the store, and I could use it on the display to show just how pretty the Shelley pattern is. 
Although this is a really adorable set, I wanted to put my own mark on things, so to speak, so sewed up the cutest little Shelley.
I went through my stash and found just enough lace to go with some platinum duoplex and adorable pink findings kit. 
This was a quick sew, or at least it felt that way for me. I’m used to sewing a larger size.
Using the form’s measurements (which I got over the phone!) I made up a 2.75 BCD with a 26″ band. I have to say I didn’t do too badly on the size. I think I could go up one cup size to get an even better fit, but this is pretty close.
Here’s the full display at the store. She’s wearing a lovely new Shelley bra, with the most adorable little Veronica panties
Isn’t that the cutest? 
Just one more photo. I love this lace I used for this demo Shelley. 
It makes me think of Spring. I’m ready for Spring. How about you?
I’ll be honest with you. I haven’t even looked at my pants pattern this week. I will re-look at it though. I’m determined!
Happy creating!
Hi
I was wondering if you might know of someone who might be willing to sew a few bras for me. I have had breast surgery twice (thankfully not cancer) but the surgery has left me with. significant scars and I have searched the Internet for days but cannot find anything that would fit me. I require bras without any underwire as I have scaring all of
me from side to side and underneath my arms. I can’t wear anything with boning as it would dig into the scars. I also require something that has stretch as the swelling by night is very painful. The sizes that would most likely would fit me are approx. 41 inch around by 40 inch across the bust. I have tried to find prothesis but the weight of them is too painful on my shoulders and back. Therefore I am looking for something that is light weight. I recognize that the cost of individual personalized bras are very expensive but that is not an issue for me. I would very willingly pay for something that fits and is comfortable. I live in Calgary and look forward to your comments.
Lorraine, I’m sorry. Once again I wasn’t notified of a comment here. I’ve sent you an email with a personal reply.
