Bra strapping tested!

Well, the 12mm bra strapping works perfectly, on this variation of Simplicity 8228!  I've omitted the racer back and back lining, to give a sheer lace look with simple straps.  We keep this Simplicity Madalynne bralette 8228 & 8229 bra patterns in stock, along with most of the supplies (just waiting on those bra findings!). 

There are additional variations on the designer, Maddie's blog at:

To get you stated, we are running a Bralette Workshop on Saturday 22nd October 1.30-4.30pm & there are a couple of spaces left! 

Call 01590 642808 to book your place.  

It's so nice to personalise your lingerie & soooo much cheaper to make, than buy!

Oooooooh, pretty new things!

Firstly, let me introduce you to Maddie Flannigan! Maddie came over from Philidelphia to teach a bra making workshop in London, which I was lucky enough to get a place on. She is a lingerie designer, with ranges in Urban Outfitters, photographer, blogger & one super fit lady (as you can see, as she models her own designs!).  Busy lady that she is, she has produced 2 lingerie patterns with Simplicity. Both of which are in our shop & the webshop!

I'll be using the bralette pattern, as a basis to teach a workshop on Saturday 22nd October!  There are a couple of spaces available, if you'd like to join us!!

FOE crazy!

You'll know by now, I have a love of FOE or fold over elastic, to give it, it's full name!  It's easy to apply & binds and gathers at the same time.  Another bonus is, it comes in different colours, some patterns & now with a picot edge!

My other great love is lingerie ;)

My Lingerie City & Guilds was worth every minute! It was more based on woven than stretch fabrics, but many of the principals are the same. 

It's also a great way of using up fabric scraps!!
