#Braugust2021 Day 21 current obsession All things stars, celestial, and outer space!  This 'current obsession' is more of a life long obsession, and I'm 100% okay with admitting this.  Here's a few of my favorite space themed lingerie, active wear, and swim times...plus some new embellished tulle that I'll be using soon. #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY  #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #FloralLace #MakersGonnaMake #PatternDrafting  #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3Pjp5sooq/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 19 Game changer I picked this tip up from someone else a few years ago.  Sometimes a pattern calls for you to zigzag lining and/or elastic on the edge of a bra cup.  Instead of the possibly weird edge, you can cut that lining piece on the fold to avoid the unfinished edge.  It looks so much nicer this way. I swear I'll be home soon so I can use new pictures! #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY  #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #FloralLace #MakersGonnaMake #PatternDrafting  #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSx-s3ksNto/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 18 print or solid Oh, definitely print. Same suit, two different prints, it's #v9192 if you're wondering. #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY  #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #FloralLace #MakersGonnaMake #PatternDrafting  #Create #Stripes #Paisley https://www.instagram.com/p/CSvZUTQMMh6/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 17 statement piece It's between two, which have both been seen before.  1. The @orangelingerie #esplanadebra in spiderweb mesh. Originally it was made for a Halloween costume, bit I love spiders, so it's gotten lots of use. 2. The peacock #berkeleybra also from Orange Lingerie. I found that beautiful black and gold feather looking lace on Etsy a few years ago, and decided I needed to make something out of it. #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY  #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #FloralLace #MakersGonnaMake #PatternDrafting  #HandmadeWardrobe #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSs6U7fsIYg/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm a little behind, so I'm gonna try to catch up. #Braugust2021 Day 11 pattern drafting/hacking Earlier this year I saw a Shien ad for a swimsuit I liked, out of fabric I already owned.  Yes, it's still velvet,. Yes, it's still has similar lines when wearing it. No, the fabric is not exactly the same. Mine also has a crisscross back, I'm gonna change the straps though. This swimsuit is dedicated to @itz_mwah #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY  #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #MakersGonnaMake #HandmadeWardrobe #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSlBcaYs0cl/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 10 swim/active fabric It's no secret that I make my own workout clothes and swim suits on a pretty regular basis.  I live in Southern NJ where we only really have 1 fabric store option @joann_stores , and I'm not big on online shopping (if I've purchased from you online, consider yourself lucky!) But I did find this border-ish active /swim fabric in that one chain store, in two different colors!...and I really like it!  The black will be a swimsuit, the green #clara leggings are soooo comfortable. If you're interested in seeing the silver version head over to see today's entry by @loreleicaroline , she hade some leggings too. I do occasionally order favorite designers off @spoonflower too, but not often anymore. #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #fabric #BraMaking #DIY #UnfinishedWork #FitnessFashion #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeSwimsuit #MakersGonnaMake #HandmadeWardrobe #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSazwm4MgFJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 9 design/sketching Ideas for my own creations usually get jotted down on paper, sometimes even on a napkin or the back of a receipt. I try to put them in a journal of some sort, most recently it's this button covered book that someone had given my grandma.  (The random stuff in the house never ceases to amaze me)   This specific idea stemmed from @dainellya wishing her bikini had pockets.  (I didn't forget!!). The next step, if a design needs to be seen by someone other than me, I'll draw up better sketch on my tablet or computer using @sketchbook_app I'm all about the weird paper sketches though. I have a much more organized system for stationary/card making related ideas and work, but it's still stored in a journal. #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #Lace  #BraMaking #DIY #TailorMadeShop #PatternMaking #HandmadeWardrobe #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSYLuPss_UC/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Braugust2021 Day 8 UFO Sometimes just ya just can't make yourself finish a project, or run out of supplies, then can't make yourself finish it after you get said supplies.  In my own defense, a lot of my fun handmade lingerie is done out of remnants as I finish other projects, so I get to them when I get to them. 1. There a #LandsdowneBra that needs sliders.  2. There's a #JordyBralette & #TuesdayBoyshorts set that need straps and leg elastic.  (I found the leg elastic in the pile!)  3. There's a #NoelleHalter that needs straps (the panties are done, still brainstorming those straps) 4. And there's a few #HyacinthBra that are cut, but not sewn.  (The 2 pink ones were cut within the last month) #SewYourOwnWardrobe #Sewing #MakingStuff #Sew #LingerieSewing  #Braugust #HandmadeWardrobe #Lace  #BraMaking #DIY #UnfinishedWork #TailorMadeShop #DreamWardrobe #MyStyle #HandmadeWardrobe #Create https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVgl82MOoq/?utm_medium=tumblr
