B,wear posted about a new pattern coming: Gunsan. I was fortunate enough to be able to test the pattern. It’s a lovely pattern!
It’s a darted one-piece cup. 
I was so excited to try this new pattern.
I made a decision before starting this bra. I LOVE to test patterns. I really do. But honestly, with all the alterations I need, it’s not fair for me to sew it for me. It’s not fair to take the pattern and make all the changes, and then give feedback.
So, I decided I would test the pattern as it is, and make it in my size – without any changes. Then I could gift it to my friend who’d had surgery last year. We’re the same size, but she doesn’t need the alterations for Omega. It was a win-win this way.
I used the Patricia bra kit from B,Wear. 
This is such a pretty kit.
Here’s my first make of the new Gunsan pattern. 
Another decision I made before starting was to not mirror the lace. (Shh. Don’t tell my friend. She doesn’t know about these things.)
Rather than trying to mirror, I made sure the larger motifs along the upper edge were in the same places and it gives a symmetrical look to the bra still.
My friend loves it. She was sending photos of her new bra to her mom and sister. 
This really is a lovely pattern. It’s nice to find a darted cup in a larger size.
And lastly, just so you can see how very delicate and sheer this lace is, I’ve laid it on my sewing desk for a photo too. 
Stay tuned. There’s more to share on the Gunsan pattern.
Happy creating!
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.
It all still coordinates well, and I think the set looks adorable. Em loved it. And yes, she got it a bit early.
Oh! I simply adore this. I adored it when I first saw it, and I love it all sewn up.
I’ve really been in a pink mood for a few months, so it was wonderful to sew this beauty up and branch out. I really adore this lace! 
Just look at the lace edge here. Wow. It’s stunning.
The arch looks off too, but it’s how it’s sitting on the dress form. Can you see the lace detail?
It’s perfect for an all-over stretch lace bra for Em. I kept the bottom scallop on the bra again, and also included the scallop along the inner cup edge. 
Oh, that’s so cute. I think she’ll love it.
And here is the lower edge of the long-line. 
I have a few plans for the remainder of the year. One idea I have is for a foam cup bra for Em.
Oh. It’s so delicate. I wish I’d had a lighter colored thread – one that would have just disappeared in the seams. I still think it’s lovely.
Here you can see just a peek of the hearts along the top of the power bar. 
Isn’t that sweet? Just so pretty.
Those hearts are so sweet. You can see how very sheer this is too. 
The hearts falling along the elastic wasn’t planned. It was a happy accident of laying the pattern out and having it fit.
And I looked for a bow, and there was this little bow I’d made a few years ago. It was perfect. It’s sheer as well. The perfect bow for a lovely sheer Margareta.
And I did. I chose to make another Watson for Em. This is her August bra.
Oh, that’s pretty.
If I had pistachio findings in Em’s size I would have used them for sure. Sadly I didn’t. I did have a lovely lavender set though.
I think this goes quite nicely.
I think Em will be happy with this new Watson. It’s a perfect bra for summer.
This photo is showing two things. How really delicate this lace is. Just look at that. It looks more opaque on the display form, but on the sewing desk you can see how delicate and light this is.
So much easier to sew than when it’s just flat.
After cutting out my Confetti bra, I realized this is the same lilac pink in the lace here. I decided to use the same Lingerie Satin Light for my frame on this bra. 
I’m showing just a bit of my new House Morrighan’s Clover brief. The cotton Lycra and lace trim went so well with this. I won’t be writing a separate post covering the briefs though. Just a glimpse here in this post.
Lastly, here’s a photo of my new Pretty in Rosé Margareta with my new Clover Briefs. 
That is the last of my pink cotton Lycra, so I’ll have to order more if I want another pair of panties.
Isn’t that pretty? It goes so well with the Rosé in the lace. 
This is what I had left over. Now that’s cutting it close! Get it? Cutting it close? 
I fell in love with the confetti design in the lace.
Isn’t that lace fun and pretty?
It’s just so fun. The design is even along the lace’s edge! 
Yes, I’m really pleased with this Confetti Margareta.
I laid the old water water cover over the sweater and did a rough cut out giving myself about an inch on each side. 
I tried a few things to mark where I wanted to sew, but nothing was showing up very well.
So, I pinned where I wanted to sew and followed the pins around the new cover. A straight stitch for the seam, and a zigzag to make sure it didn’t unravel. 
It turned out quite well. 
Isn’t that cute? And it’s so soft! 
Here is is with the water bottle inside of it. It’s all ready for the next time I need to use it.
This is lovely. It’s a bit too small for my display form, but that tells me it will fit Em just fine.
The littlest pair of Clover Briefs, but without the upper band. So they’re really Clover Hipsters.
Just adorable. 
I hope Em loves this set.
