Em’s October Bra

I saw this lace and knew it was for Em. After sending her a quick photo, she confirmed this was perfect for her.

This lovely butterfly lace comes from B,Wear’s shop. Isn’t this lovely?

Seeing as the Watson is my favorite bra to make for Em, this had to become another Watson. I made a lace-edged cup again, and kept the scallops along the bottom as well. I even cut out a little lace butterfly to add as a detail at the center front. Em doesn’t need support in a bra, but she needs comfort. So again for this Watson, I’ve used the stretch lace throughout the bra – including for the back band. There was a little bit of lace left over, and I thought it would be just enough to make Em a pair of panties to go with her new bra. A girl needs her matchy matchy after all. These are the Clover Briefs with lace at the upper edge. I cut out a second little butterfly to add at the center front again.

I’m not sure if you can see, but I had to add a seam to the front of the panties. There wasn’t quite enough lace without seaming the pieces together.

So for the back of the panties, it had to be cotton Lycra. 

   It all still coordinates well, and I think the set looks adorable. Em loved it. And yes, she got it a bit early.

There are a few other projects on my cutting table, so I got this to her first.

Happy creating!
