A Delicate Leaf Laced Margareta

I received the most gorgeous lace from B,wear. Isn’t it beautiful?

It’s a non-stretch lace, so it’s perfect for cups. It would also be great for the frame or cradle of your bra.

I used it for my cups and a strong sheer cup lining for my frame.   Oh! I simply adore this. I adored it when I first saw it, and I love it all sewn up.

It’s almost a blue-black color. The embroidery of the lace is on a gray backing, and together it gives a bluish tint. I’ve really been in a pink mood for a few months, so it was wonderful to sew this beauty up and branch out. I really adore this lace! Just look at the lace edge here. Wow. It’s stunning.

I added a little bit of the lace to the bridge. Unfortunately, with the gothic arch it’s barely visible.  The arch looks off too, but it’s how it’s sitting on the dress form. Can you see the lace detail?

Next week I’m sewing the last of my fitting bras. Four more to finish and I’ll be done this set.

Happy creating!

Em’s LBB September Bra

I’ve been having such a fun year sewing a bra a month for Em. It is just a treat to sew for someone else, and make such cute little bralettes.

September is no different. I went back to my favorite small bralette pattern – the Cloth Habit Watson. 
It’s perfect for an all-over stretch lace bra for Em. I kept the bottom scallop on the bra again, and also included the scallop along the inner cup edge. Oh, that’s so cute. I think she’ll love it.

Who doesn’t need a little black bra? 

Here’s a close-up of that scalloped lace edge.  And here is the lower edge of the long-line. I have a few plans for the remainder of the year. One idea I have is for a foam cup bra for Em.

I also plan to test a few larger sized bralettes for me to see how they are and what alterations I’ll need to make to them. 

Happy creating!
