There were a couple of changes to the Gunsan pattern, and I was happy to try again.
The first draft fit my friend perfectly and when I asked her if I could make a second test of the pattern for her, she said yes without hesitation.
For this one, I had to pull a kit out of my stash. Making my fitting bras has used up all my scraps. I gifted my friend the Sabine bra kit for this bra. 
Isn’t that a pretty kit? It’s prettier in person.
Here’s my second version of the Gunsan pattern. 
I do wish I’d had a bit of a lighter thread color, but there is a bit of a violet sheen to the lace so I decided it was okay. My friend loves this bra. 
This is so pretty.
I used the sheer cup lining in the kit for the frame.
I did run into one problem when laying this out. The power bar was a little bit longer than my lace.
Then I remembered a great tip Emerald Erin had in a blog post a long time about. She drew the pattern part that was off the lace and then cut that out with a seam allowance and sewed it onto the existing cut out lace piece.
Here, read about it here.
It worked perfectly. You can’t even see where I joined the lace. It gave me the extra inch I needed and it really worked perfectly. Thank you Erin for that great tip.
One last view of this lovely new pattern. 
I don’t know if further changes were made to the pattern, but it’s been released now, and I can’t wait to try it for me. Next for me to to start altering it for Omega.
Happy creating!
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.)
This really is a lovely pattern. It’s nice to find a darted cup in a larger size.
Stay tuned. There’s more to share on the Gunsan pattern.
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.
