I started with this set already last year, before making the “Confetti” bra. I needed a new nude lingerie set to wear under light-colored blouses. My old one was very worn out. No wonder, it is nearly ten years old. Where has the time gone? I used two of my goto patterns, the Maya bra […]

Maya bra von AFI Atelier
The Maya-bra from AFI Atelier is a free pattern, but it comes without instructions. Since I’ve been dreaming about the AFI Exquisite Bra for quite some time, I tried this pattern first to get a feeling for AFI Atelier’s patterns. According to my measurements, I am a size 75A.

April Bra: BHS10 modified

March Bra: BHS10 modified
I decided to work my way through the Craftsy class “Sewing Bras – Designer Techniques” from Beverly Johnson. The first lesson is about how to change your full band bra into a partial band bra. This is not so difficult once you understand the main difference between both styles. In a full band bra the […]
February Bra: Make Bra Free Bralette & String Set Pattern
Hi everybody, Today I have something a bit different for my monthly bra, the free bralette and string pattern from Make Bra: As this is difficult to photograph when it lays on the floor, and as it does not make sense to take a picture from the black bralette on my black dress form, and as […]
