A Pretty Copper Bra

I had plans to sew two bras at the same time, so picked two in a similar color. Then I got sick and forgot all about those plans. One bra was partially finished, and the other sat waiting altogether. So much for those plans.

But once I was feeling better, I finished that pretty Yvonne bra, and started on this lovely Copper bra kit.

This was a BMS kit from a few years ago. And the lace is so lovely and works perfectly with the Copper duoplex and power net. Oh, that lace. It’s really such a lovely golden color. I love the Copper color too. I only wish I could find cotton Lycra to match it. It’s the one thing that makes me stay away from Copper. I can wear beige with it –  and I did pair it with beige findings – or I can wear tan with it. Neither catch the metallic glimmer or sheen.

Still, despite my few grumbles, I do love this.

This is a very short post. Go enjoy the holidays and I hope you’re spending time with love ones. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’ll see you again in 2026!

Yvonne Bra Kit All Sewn Up

I finished sewing up the very pretty Yvonne kit from Bwear. And I’m very happy with it. This is again with the few tweaks I’d made to my pattern, and I’m so happy with those tweaks as well.

This is such a pretty kit, and I have enough fabric to make another bra – all I will need is another finding kit. Honestly, this is a very generously supplied kit. 

Sewing this up, I had an idea to redo something I’d done for a BMS Challenge back in 2018.You can read the whole post here. Below you can see I split the upper cup.

I really liked this design feature and I’m not sure why I haven’t done it more often. That is on the Ruby pattern, but I’ve been using the Freja pattern lately. 

You can see from these images the upper cups are shaped differently. The Ruby has a straighter upper cup. However, I think this would be worth trying after all it’s just adding another seam. 

With the lace edge, this will look amazing! The bra will be mostly the floral design lace with just the edge of the upper cup lace. It will give it a completely different look. Isn’t this fabric gorgeous! And the cradle is the same floral lace fabric. I really like this kit. Here you can see the bra from the side. Hmm, makes me wonder if there is floral power net out there…

I have one more bra to show you this year, and then I want to be a bit more proactive with some projects that have just been waiting for me for 2026.

Happy creating!
