Der Maya-BH von AFI Atelier ist ein kostenloses Schnittmuster, allerdings ohne Anleitung. Da ich schon längere Zeit mit dem AFI Exquisite Bra liebäugle, habe ich erst einmal diesen Schnitt ausprobiert, um ein Gefühl für die Schnitte von AFI Atelier zu bekommen. Laut meinen Maßen habe ich Größe 75A. Mein Brustansatz ist allerdings sehr breit, so […]

Wäsche-Set aus Bambus Jersey
Ich habe ein Wäsche-Set aus Resten von Bambus-Jersey genäht. Das Set besteht aus einem BH, zwei Slips und 2 Unterhemden. Der BH: Das Schnittmuster für den BH ist selbst konstruiert. Ich hatte im Juli an einem Schnittmusterkonstruktionskurs teilgenommen, und dies ist das Ergebnis. Der Kurs ging über drei Tage und war vollgepackt mit Konstruieren und […]
May Bra: modified straps
My bra journey continues. The next lesson in my craftsy class is all about straps. For this bra I made short tapered straps: This is a quite easy alteration. The strap extensions (if any) are cut away and the top of the cup is straightened (which mine was already) and for the straps a piece […]
How to line foam cups
Today I will show you how to line foam cups. There might be other techniques but this is how I do it. When I start sewing a bra I like to lay out all my pieces rouhgly like they will be sewn into the bra. This is especially important if you have right and left cup […]
April Bra: BHS10 modified
It has been a bit quite here on the blog. If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I did sew, but I just was not in the mood of taking pictures and writing a blog post. I had some busy weeks and now that everything is back to a normal pace I […]
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 […]
January bra: Merckwaerdigh BHS10 in lace
What better way to start off the New Year than with a new lingerie set! This is again my go-to pattern, the Merckwaerdigh BHS10 and three different panties: Watson Bikini, Milano Slip and Lacey Thong from Fehr Trade. I decided to use a well known pattern for the bra as I wanted to sew it […]

December Bra: Malborough from Orange Lingerie
Now here it is, my finished December set: Malborough bra with Watson Bikini: Fabric: Fabric and notions are from Sewy. The fabric is a microfiber. I still have difficulties when attaching the elastic with this slippery fabric. The lace is from my stash and probably from Elingeria. Alterations: I described the fit alteration I had […]
November Bra: Malborough from Orange Lingerie
Remember that I said I would sew a bra every month? It seems that I already failed in the second month as I can not show you a bra today. I was on a good way, but then I made a big mistake (more on that later). I cut a second version which is nearly […]
