During my last class when I was teaching the Angie’s Twin pattern, I decided to re-fit myself in the pattern. I’ve been working out with my son and my size has changed a bit. It’s amazing what muscle will do!
So, while everyone was busy sewing, I tried on my size and made notes on what I needed to change for my pattern. I’ll just say, if you are an Omega shape, try B,Wear’s patterns. I find I need fewer alterations with hers than with some other patterns.
I also used B,Wear’s lovely kit Eugenia. 
Isn’t this a pretty kit? I love the green.
It being the middle of winter, I wanted something a little more than that gorgeous delicate lace to wear, so I added an inner foam cup.
Here’s my foam Angie’s Twin. 
I’m thrilled with how it turned out, but the pattern needs some tweaking.
It gapes along the upper band at the side, and I know I need that alterations, so I’m not sure why I didn’t remember when I was drawing this up. However, I didn’t.
Still, I’m very happy with this, and it’s still wearable. It’s just a little loose feeling.
I’ll be making adjustments to my pattern right away so I can make another Angie’s Twin. Honestly, this bra gives some great lift and shaping. 
My next project I won’t be sharing any time soon. I’m testing a pattern that will be released later this year, but I do hope to be back to my blog before the end of January with some things to share.
Happy creating!
This is a kit I bought last year and I just love it! It’s a teal color with ivory floral lace. It was a kit of the month in January or February, and I’d been saving it. 
I used some of the lace along the power bar. I love this look. The solid color behind the lace just gives it a really different look. The upper cup is sheer, but the power bar is detailed as well. 
The kit came with ivory power net, and an ivory findings kit. 
The ivory looks lovely with this teal color, and of course the lace is ivory, so it all goes together very well. 
This kit didn’t come with a bow, but it needed a bow! You know me – it has to be bow worthy. I’m going to need to stock up on bows.
This is the Margareta, again. And I’m thrilled again.
I adore this color! I have looked for a cotton Lycra the same color. I did find some that’s a bit darker, so I think some matchy-matchy will be next on the sewing table. 
The power net in this kit has a sheen or glimmer to it. It is very pretty. 
So far this pattern is winning the favorite pattern for me. We’ll see what happens when I revisit the Freja, but for now I’m thrilled to have a great fitting pattern.
This alteration did help, but I took a critical look again, and realized I could do more. I could take more out.
I did finish those channelings at the front and sides and took photos for all of you.
I adore this kit as well. It’s from B,wear. You can find it 
So, if you’re not completely happy with how your bra is fitting you, take a critical look and make one adjustment at a time.
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.
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.
I loved this lace with the fuchsia powernet.
Oh! It’s love again.
I used fuchsia sheer cup lining and power net from my stash. I used the same gorgeous hot pink findings from 
I did one other little alteration to my Margareta. It was a little bit loose around the upper band, so I took it in just a smidge there. 
I didn’t forget my upper cup elastic this time. Everything fits like a dream.
