Bra-Makers Supply Challenge 2020

Underwear has not been around forever. The first underwear you might recall might be what is affectionately known as “granny panties”. This month, we celebrate 100 years of underwear! Whether you make thongs, g-strings, granny panties or even underwear for men, the choice is yours!

I decided this year I wouldn’t do the whole BMS Challenge, but would pick and choose the ones that appealed more to me. However, I’m already feeling a little regret that I didn’t do the February Challenge.

The February Challenge was to make a baby doll nightgown using one of the PUG patterns as a base. My first thought was I wasn’t interested. But over the last few weeks, I’ve seen so many baby doll nighties being sold in retail. Way to be on-trend, BMS!

My Challenge Entry

My March challenge entry is fitting perfectly with my personal needs as well. As much as I love using lace on my panties, lace doesn’t stand up well, or long. It was time for some new panties.

This time though, instead of being all matchy-matchy, I’m going with my feelings and just being happy playing with colors.

Here’s my first pair of panties. Just a cute neutral. This is a dark beige with some adorable animal print trim. I really love the lace trim I’ve used at the leg openings. I just love a scalloped lace trim.

Next was another beige, but this time with a little more color play. I think these are so fun, and I love the lace trim at the waist.

Oh, that’s pretty. I got this from BMS.

Next I used some lovely CL I got in one of Bodil’s Mystery Boxes.

Isn’t that a gorgeous knit? I really like these. I didn’t have any narrow trim, so I followed the design in the lace and cut it in half to use for the legs.Here’s a close-up of the lace at the waist. You can see the line going through the design. It made it very easy to cut and use for the legs. I’d probably put the scallops on the inside next time though. It was a challenge to match them at the seams this way.

Lastly, I had a little of that lovely CL print left over, and there was no way I wanted to throw it away. One last pair of panties it was.For these ones, it was a basic grey heather for the back and white lace trim at the legs and waist.
