Sometimes you see a bra kit, and it’s so lovely. You know you want it, but you just can’t buy everything all the time.
That happened to me a few months ago. I saw the most gorgeous bra on B,Wear’s site. 
Isn’t this gorgeous?
Well, by time I went to buy it about a month later, it was gone.
I was disappointed. But an email to B,Wear, and they said they could put together another kit for me.
To my great surprise, I got to see my name on the kit! Michelles Special. That was a real treat for me, along with the kit being available again.
I had to get it! You know I had to get it, right?
And I am not disappointed at all.
As much as I was looking forward to sewing with this kit right away, I wanted to sew up Em’s June bra. I decided I would share my precious lace with her this month. 
Oh! These colors!
Orange isn’t usually a favorite color of mine, but paired with this fuchsia… LOVE! 
This is just lovely. The colors are so rich.
The findings here aren’t actually fuchsia. They’re hot pink from The Bra Makery. I adore how they bring a little extra pop to the bra. Just adding a bit more depth of color to it all. 
Yes, this adorable Watson bra is bow worthy.
I have to share with you, I was a terrible tease to Em. I asked her if she wanted a hint what her bra was for June. She said yes of course. So I sent her this.
I know! A terrible tease, but she laughed.
Happy creating!
Here’s her ivory Margareta. It’s very similar to mine, but she has no Omega issues.
I also didn’t have to over lap her wires. She has enough ‘real estate’ between the girls to have the wires sit side by side. 
It was a pleasure to be able to help a friend and make her a lovely new bra.
Isn’t this lovely? Knowing nothing about quilts or quilt-making I had no idea of all the work that needed to go into this.
I love these colors and prints! Benefitting a cause is always a good thing too.
Here’s my quilt top almost done. Looking at how close it was to fitting my bed, I’ve decided to add another border to the edges to make it fit. I might need more than one so it drapes over the side.
The fabric I used for this Watson is the softest, most luxurious feeling fabric. It also has a nice weight to it. I’ve used it for the entire bra except the lace on the inner cups. It is so soft. I think Em will love this.
It was my first time sewing this feature, and I think it’s lovely. We all need a basic black bra, right? A lovely one is even better. 
I can’t wait to hear how she likes this one. 
Usually I’ve used a 3×3 hook and eye for the back band, but I used up all my extra stash items making the Fitting Bras. I’m going to have to stock up a bit again. 
If you can believe it, one of these women sewed her first bra and it fit wonderfully! She’s a quilter, and knows how to sew a 1/4″ seam really well. It was a great class, and everyone went home happy with a well-fitting pattern, and at least one well-fitting bra.
I can’t remember where I got this lace, but ooh-la-la.
Many of the lace petals lift up. It’s very fun and adds that little something extra. 
Isn’t this lovely? I used all lace for the bra cups. It’s really lovely. It does remind me a little of the bee fabric I’d used before, but this time it’s petals and sheer. 
Here I’ve removed the foam cup from behind the bra. You can see the cup is no longer filled out on the mannequin, but I wanted to show you how sheer this is. It’s so delicate and lovely. 
I couldn’t resist cutting out one of those little floral motifs to add to the center front.
I’ve used this lace a couple of times now, and I love it every time. I might even have enough for one more bra in the future. 
Yes, this will be perfect for summer. A lovely first bra for Spring. 
Look how pretty and delicate this lace is. And the perfect shade of ivory to match the duoplex. 
One last feature I really love with the Margareta pattern is this little strap tab where the strap meets the cup. It’s just adorable.
This lace has a story too. I think it started with Karin (Braphoria), then Maria who bought the company next. Then MargieB bought it. However, once I saw it, I knew I had to have it.
Oh, those shades of blue are lovely. The shading detail in the sheer mesh behind the embroidery.
And I think I really love this bra! It’s so pretty!
I’ve made a few adjustments to this pattern, and I think this just might be it, but looking at it in photos, I might need to re-look at how the sides are fitting.
I hope she loves this one too. 
I had a little bit of lace left over, so I cut out the flowers and added those to the frame on one side. 
On the other side, I had the flower coming up the side of the cup as well.
This is a very light weight bra. The mesh is very light, and so is the lace. As Em doesn’t need support, I’m not adding it behind the frame or in the cups.
Now to show you my new Margareta, also with the lovely pistachio findings. 
Oh, I love this kit. This is the 
Isn’t this lace so pretty? 
As I mentioned last week, this fits really well. There’s just one adjustment I still need to make. This bra has the channeling laying side by side at the top of the bridge and I just don’t have enough room for that. 
I love having a new pattern that fits so well.
I had used some of this lace for Em’s March bra. 
And I purposely didn’t try to match the lace motifs so there would be enough left over for me.
Before sewing this up, I knew I’d have to make a number of changes to the pattern so it would fit me.
If you look closely, this lace isn’t matched either. There just wasn’t enough lace left to match. So I made pretty cups with an all-over pattern. 
There’s only one more adjustment I need to make for this to fit perfectly: I need to narrow the upper bridge. Everything else was great.
