We moved mid-December, so I had a big sewing blitz in late October and early November knowing everything was going to get packed up.
Fortunately, the previous owner of our new the house moved out a week before we were to move in. That gave me to time to do some cleaning, sorting, and unpacking in the new house. After the kitchen, my sewing room was my top priority. It was mostly set up days after our move.
I’ll warn you. I’m not all unpacked and sorted yet. But I was able to sew. (smile)
First off is my Singer treadle machine, rather laden down with things still needing to be sorted. Next to that is my Rocketeer. Then piled beside those are a bunch of books that are still unpacked, some storage, and then my cutting table. You can see the fabric left over from my latest project.
My sewing table butts up against my cutting table making a U-shaped work area.
Behind the sewing/work area are my storage rack, a small sewing table, and a storage cupboard.
Beside the storage cupboard is my yet-to-be-packed bookcase.
Lastly, I have two closet doors, but the closet space runs the full length of the wall between the doors. It’s wonderful to have all that space!
I still need to do some organizing, but at least I’m set up enough to do some sewing.
Happy New Year, and happy creating!
I know most people think beige is boring, but I love the golden tones it has. I think it’s really pretty, and these golden tones paired with pink were beautiful.
Here is my lovely Cornelia Josey bra. I love the lace on the upper cup. I loved it so much, I used it on the power bar, and on the side of the bra too.
Oh, that is pretty.
This time it was the opposite. I cut out a pretty little green leaf, and it faded into the background. I didn’t like the look of it at all. This shimmery pink bow coordinates so well. It was perfect.
This is my last post for 2021. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season, and I think we’re all hoping for a better 2022.
It works wonderfully with black, but there’s also brown and ivory in the pattern too. I decided to try it with a couple of pair of KS2286 panties in ivory.
I think they’re equally as adorable as this lace trim on black.
What do you think? Do you have a preference?
Here’s the side and back view.
Yes, I do like this trim on ivory as well.
I have four more pairs cut out on my cutting table and my panty drawer will be full to overflowing.
I’m also really pressing into sewing right now because we’re going to be moving! I need to sew now before I pack, and unpack.
As well as having an applique leaf on the top of the bridge, I also added an appliqued flower to the lower bridge.
Those little scrap lace appliques made their way onto the sides of the bra as well.
These basic ivory ones will go nicely.
For that second option, here’s my bra and panties together. 
I guess which pair I choose will depend on my mood that day.
Lastly, here are my new Agnes panties.
You might have noticed, the Sigred and the Agnes look pretty much the same from the front.
But they don’t look the same from the back.
The Agnes doesn’t come up as high, and is a bit cheekier. Agnes has an option for what style of back you want too. You can have the Brazilian (Agnes), or a thong style (Astrid).
I love the leg detail on these panties. However, I really love my hipster height for a panty. Hmm. I might try to hack them. That just might be a plan for 2022.
I’m calling her my International Beauty bra because parts of her come from all over the world.
I have a confession here. I bought one of each of these. They were too pretty for me to resist. I still have enough of the black to make another bra! 
And lastly, the finding kit I used was from B,Wear in Sweden. Truly, this Josey bra is an International Beauty.
The rest of the cup is sheer cup lining. You can see the difference in the above photo. 
Isn’t that adorable? I love it!
I really love my new Plum Pudding bra from the Bra Builders kit I received. It’s so lovely, I wanted to make something to match it right away. But this is a custom dyed kit. I wondered just what I would have that would match it.
These are the 
For this pair I used the brief leg opening.
I’m excited to work on a few more projects I’ve had planned.
It was love at first sight.
I am so happy with this bra. I love this bra kit. I adore these colors!
I couldn’t resist using a little bit of the upper edge of the lace along the side of the bra.
These rings and sliders are the 
I have a few more matchy matchy to share with you in my next blog post.
The colors are so vibrant, I really wanted to pick that up in the panties. So I didn’t go with just one color. 
No basic black here.
These are adorable too.
For both pairs of panties I used the 
To make a lace edge, you need to have a center seam in the cradle.
The band doesn’t have lace on it. I think I’d like to make one like that, but I used almost all the lace in the kit doing the cradle and cups.
Isn’t that lovely? The constrast between the turquoise and the black is striking! This is another very happy make.
