Now, is everyone else joining in the latest pretty underthingies making-fest?
Haha, sorry, of course it really goes by a far more lovely and grammatical name; "Everyone Deserves Pretty Knickers", and is the brainchild of Susan of Measure Twice Cut Once. It's on its second year and I sadly missed last year. Well, partly because I didn't know about it then. Which is a bit sad because I love making underthings! it's fun! and also I'm an any-excuse kind of a seamster, as y'know. Anyway, as soon as I read Susan's IG post I signed up. Couldn't resist!
The sweet nothings extravaganza starts 31st May running until 6th June. So, I'm sorry to jump the gun, but I have a few things coming up on my plate at that time and if I was going to join in and make something I knew I had to get onto it right away :)
My new set is a re-cycling of an old thing... some tights!
I think I used the pair on the left.. no, the right.. no, the left.... no, wait, maybe the right...
Paprika poly stretch originally from Spotlight, black stretch lace from Fabulous Fabrics. Sliders, rings, hook/eye tape, black ribbon for bows, shoulder strap elastic and knicker lingerie elastic from Spotlight, bra foam and other remanding bra findings from MakeBra. Some of the findings were recycled themselves from older bras that have bitten the dust too.
black lace, and I made black ribbon bows
Sometimes I used red topstitching thread, sometimes black
Shown here on Cassie's dummy Clarissa. Confession time; my bras, while they fit me, are an awfully tight squeeze on my own dummy Bessie. Whenever I've used her to model bras in the past I've had to stretch the bejeezus out of them, or pin them open at the back. She is a wee bit, ahem, broader in the chest than I!
