Leopard Leaf Bra to start 2026

2026 is going to be the year I sew from my stash. Well mostly. I’m sure there are going to be a few Kit of the Month kits from BWear I just can’t resist. 🙂

So my first bra is from my stash. I’m using my favorite adjusted Freja pattern, and showcasing a gorgeous lace I bought from a Canadian vendor on Etsy.

It’s a Toronto shop called ElationLingerie. They have some lovely lace and kits, among other things. I’ve bought a few laces from them, and a few kits as well. I paired this gorgeous lace with beige duoplex and power net. I couldn’t resist adding some of the lace to the frame. I just love this lace! Above is the side of the bra showing the lace along the side of the frame. Above I’ve cut some of those trailing embroidered details out and adding them to the front bridge. They’re just too pretty and I felt a bow would take away from the leaf and leopard details.

Lastly, when I was trimming the channeling under the arm, I snipped the bra cup!   I added one more little leaf detail to cover that snip. It should protect the cup fabric and keep it from fraying or expanding.

Happy creating!
