How can it be the end of August already? Have you been following BRAugust on Instagram? I’ve been doing my best to post daily. It is fun.
I received this beautiful sheer delight from B,Wear this month, and again, it was one of those I have to sew with this right now. A sheer Margareta it is. Oh. It’s so delicate. I wish I’d had a lighter colored thread – one that would have just disappeared in the seams. I still think it’s lovely.
I used the lace for all parts of the cups. I used the embroidered hearts for the upper cups, and the top of the power bar. And the sheer part of the lace for the lower cups and the frame. Here you can see just a peek of the hearts along the top of the power bar. Isn’t that sweet? Just so pretty.
Here are a couple of close up of the upper cup and power bar with the heart detail. Those hearts are so sweet. You can see how very sheer this is too. The hearts falling along the elastic wasn’t planned. It was a happy accident of laying the pattern out and having it fit.
I couldn’t resist adding a tiny heart to the bridge. And I looked for a bow, and there was this little bow I’d made a few years ago. It was perfect. It’s sheer as well. The perfect bow for a lovely sheer Margareta.
Happy creating!
