I pretty much love all things bra-making. I love patterns, laces and materials, and even elastics. So, when I first read about B,Wear’s Mystery Box subscription, I knew I wanted to try it. However, finances don’t always let me do what I want, when I want. Sometimes I have to wait. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen.
Fortunately for me, Christmas came and I got a subscription as a gift.
The Mystery Box
I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in getting excited when bra-making supplies arrive in the mail. Whether it’s that one item I need to complete a project, or a brand new kit. I get excited.
Well, this box really just adds to that excitement! Look at that label. I bet it’s even intriguing for the mail carriers who are delivering it. Just what is in that Mystery Box?
What fun! I couldn’t wait to open it.
The inside was just as fun as the outside.
Once the outer box is opened, it’s still a mystery as it’s wrapped up in tissue paper and sealed with a foil heart. I loved this. It’s a lovely presentation. And it only got better for me.
What’s Inside?
What was inside was a treat for me. The January Mystery Box was all about making panties.
Doesn’t that all look pretty? Let’s unpack and take a closer look at just what was in the box.
And if you’re not sure what one of the items is exactly, there’s a note outlining everything.
This is perfect for me. I love cotton panties! I can’t wait to sew this up. But do you see the bottom of the note? There’s one more item included in the Mystery Box – a new pattern.
Tippi Classic Window Brief
The Tippi pattern is designed by Laurie Van Jonsson – the same person who released How to Grade a Bra and Brief this past year.
I haven’t tried any of her patterns yet, so this will be a fun new experience for me. The Tippi is described on her website as:
‘This brief sits low and has all the detail in the back.’
That does sound interesting. However, before I sew this pattern, and have fun with this Mystery Box, I’ll be back to sewing my Fitting Bras. I’m on my fourth bras for the month, so far.
Happy creating!
