A while back I bought a lovely Black Beauty (Emerald Erin’s) bra kit. I saw it and loved it. What can I say?
So the very pretty kit was sitting patiently on a shelf in my sewing room waiting for just the right sew-jo to inspire me.
Then B,Wear brought out Pistachio finding kits! Oh my!
I knew right away they’d match perfectly with that kit. 
The green is the perfect pop of color.
Here’s my lovely Pistachio Bra. 
I chose to only use the Pistachio on the upper part of the bra. My frame is sheer cup lining and power net, so I wanted to keep it looking black. If I’d been using duoplex or nylplex the pistachio wouldn’t have shown through, but it really did show through the sheer cup lining.
What I wanted though was just a little peek of color with the upper band elastic, and then the straps with that pop of color. And I think I got it. 
This bra has such lovely rich fall colors. I’m very happy with my new make, and I’m still loving the Freja pattern.
I was asked last week if the frame I’m using for my pattern is the one that comes with the pattern. No. Most definitely not. My frame is highly adjusted for my Omega shape. I’ve narrowed the upper bridge, widened the lower bridge, used a smaller cradle size – so it’s definitely not the same frame as comes with the pattern.
Lastly, here’s the back of the bra. 
I really love this Pistachio color! I was looking through my lace to see what else I had that would go well with it.
Do you remember this bra I made? 
I still have some of this lace.
I think this will match perfectly with the pistachio color too. But not with the burn orange this time. Basic black always works.
Happy creating!
And I have decided my favorite panty pattern is the Clover, so I naturally pulled out my favorite pattern. 
Oh, I think these are cute!
And of course the back view. 
I had thought these would go really well with my bright bra, but it just so happens they also go well with my platinum bra! 
These coordinate very well, but just for fun look at these panties with the platinum bra. 
That little bit of purple in the lace makes this matching more fun, and a bit less matchy-matchy.
This sleeveless tee has all my adjustments. And it fits quite well. If I want to improve it even more I’ll add 1/4″ to the gaping neckline adjustment, and 1/2″ to the sway back one.
Along with the side view I captured some ghosting in the lighting. The pretty pink bra peeking out is my favorite Prima Donna Milady that I bought and is too small. Still it’s getting use on my display form and is inspiring me.
I noticed putting it on the display form that my back and its back are different! The alterations I made caused it to fit just a little more awkwardly. Ah, it’s for me not the display.
What was this?
The top has a nice scoop neckline, with 3/4 sleeves.
So, although there is some gaping/bunching up of material, I’ve worn this a few times already. I love it.
Isn’t this pretty? I really love the lace. It has a barely there look to it with delicate floral outlines and just a hint of color on the petals.
Oh, I like that. Who knew lace addiction was a real thing?
And lastly, here’s the back view.
As I said, it is basic, but it’s a very pretty basic black.
I think it will go perfectly with my second black bra, so it’s current waiting for the mail to arrive.
Right there, where I’ve put the pin.
Here’s the back. I skipped the keyhole this time as I’m busy sewing two garments per week with this class.
Honestly, I think I fell in love with the lace here, but our first assignment was a woven top, and this does fit that.
I love that little keyhole design on the back. 
I’m still having trouble with my hands, and all this comes at such a bad time. I’m taking the Pattern Fitting 101: Demystifying Fit from Head to Toe course from 
They’re not fancy, but they will coordinate well with my platinum Freja bra.
Initially, I was feeling a bit disappointed the lace trim was so dark, but it actually helps to bring the colors together a bit more.
This was the last of my grey cotton Lycra fabric, and to get two pair of panties out of it, I had to add a seam to the back of one pair. Shhh. No one will know but us.
I’m feeling very motivated to sew up a whole fall/winter bra collection. Let’s hope I can sew that much.
Yes, I do think that darker lace trim really does help to bring these two together.
Most of my makes are a full hipster with lace trim, but I decided to make one of my Clovers with a little more lace this time.
I had a hard time finding Ivory cotton Lycra that wasn’t almost white. Clearly I did find some though.
That’s pretty close in color. The other ‘Ivory’ I bought was a lot more white.
These are darling! I added some narrow plush band elastic inside the waist because this is really stretchy stretch lace. 
I love this set!
I love it! I’m much happier with it than I even thought I’d be.
I’m really going to have to get busy sewing some panties to match all these bras I’ve made.
It’s just a lovely platinum back.
Hmm. Even my display needs matching panties!
