Soon after I made my first Watson Bra by Cloth Habit, I found left over fabric in my closet that had been used to make this dress (now on sale for $20!) back in 2013. I still had a meter or so left. It has stretch, and there are apples hiding among the black dots. Since I already had the notions and power net in black I decided to make another bra.
As before, I added bra pads and lined the cups with power netting. for my previous attempt, I enclosed the pads completely. However, this time I left a small opening so I would be able to take the pads in and out. After a number of washes, the pads can get old. This way I can replace them easily.
My second try went much quicker. I really had fun making it. I usually listen to podcasts while I sew, and my current sewing/crafting podcast favorite is Elise Gets Crafty.
Pattern: Watson bra pattern from Cloth Habit
Size: 32A
Fabric: Stretch poly mix fabric from Nippori Tomato
Notions: Flora’s Garden on etsy
Modifications: Added bra pad and lined the bra cups with power net.
So what’s next? I’m continuing to collect inspirational images for bra here. Lacey back, burgandy lace for fall, white racerback… Variations are endless. I’ll soon be back to stretch knit section in Nippori.
Watsonというインディーデザイナーの型紙を使って、ノンワイヤーのブラ2つ目を作りました。
2回目は1回目よりかなりスムーズで、1時間弱で完成。
ジグザグでランジェリー用のゴム(ピコゴム)をつけたりなどは普段余りしないので新鮮でした。
パワーネットやゴム、ストラップなどの小物はすべてアメリカからEtsyを使って購入したのですが、
次回はこちらのサイト(下着専門手芸店 intimate jimura)でオーダーしてみようかなと思います。
