No sewing this week; I’ve been sick with a cold. It’s a good thing Craftsy had that all-month access pass. I’ve been making good use of it.
Even though I haven’t been sewing, I wanted to share some fun inspiration I’ve found.
As I’ve mentioned before there are times I’ll see a skirt, top, bra, a pair of panties, jacket, pretty much anything that can sewn, and just love it. Then I want to make something similar.
Remember I shared how I paused a movie to take photos of the lingerie coming out of the dresser at the beginning of the movie?
This was the inspiration:
I loved that organza trim on the upper cup of the bra. So I made this:
Well, I still have files of inspiration. Let’s take a look at a few more ideas I have just waiting to happen.
Here’s an example. I saw this bra and loved it. The external power bar looks so pretty, and it’s unique.
Unfortunately, I didn’t write down the name or brand for this bra, or where I found it. I just loved the lines of it, thinking it would be easy enough to alter a classic pattern to make this work. Make it a longer lined bra… Although this original bra does look like a darted cup, I’d probably change that.
I also came across this one on Amazon:
This is so pretty and delicate-looking. I’m noticing a trend – I’m loving the longer lines. This one is a soft bra, that really won’t be the best for me, but again, I’m looking at the external power bar. What a pretty way to add lace to a bra.
There’s also this gorgeous pattern from Booby Traps.
Oh, this is so pretty! And I do like to start with a pattern… When I start with a pattern I can get a feel for how something is put together. However, this one is not in my size range or even close to it. It’s for B & C cups. I’ve heard some rumors that this is going to be graded up a few sizes, so I’m hopeful.
The external power bar on the Booby Traps bra did remind me of a pattern I do have in my size: Merckwaerdigh’s CUPL16.
That’s pretty similar. I could always change up the cup by adding some soft layered material over the top if I wanted the same look as the Booby Traps bra…
Margreet has a couple of other patterns that have similar detail on the power bar.
These are Mix30 and BHS10. BHS10 could be made into a long line bra that would closely resemble the first bra in this blog. So much inspiration, so little time.
Happy creating!
