 I am so happy to share with you my new pattern, the Silvena Boyshort!
My Tanja Boyshort pattern has become one of my best-selling patterns, so I wanted to create for you a boyshort specially designed to use beautiful stretch laces. Let's take a closer look. Ahead of publishing my new lace boyshort pattern, I wanted to share with you a pattern alteration to help achieve the best fit in boyshorts. Do you ever find the back of the leg opening gaping at the bum? Perhaps you have a flatter bum or narrower hips than what the pattern is drafted for. Below is a simple pattern alteration to shorten the width of the leg opening to get a smoother fit. Problem: Gaping at the bum Symptoms:Excess fabric and looseness at the back leg opening Solution: Shorten the width of the leg openingDetermine the excess amount and divide by two. For this example, let's use 1" as the excess amount; divided in two and we have 1/2". On the pattern piece, bring in the inseam at the leg opening 1/2" on each side. You can see the new inseam and leg opening lines below drawn in red. Measure the new inseam length on each side to make sure the lengths match. Adjust if necessary.  If you are using a pattern with elastic or bands to finish the leg opening, you will need to shorten those lengths as well.

Now that we are finished with the Delvine Bralette Sew-Along in the Bra Makers group, I am sharing the videos here for you to watch at your convenience. I hope they are helpful! Happy Sewing!

Get yourself and copy of the Delvine Bralette pattern, and join me on Week 1 to hear about fabric and trim choices, helpful tools and sizing. I hope to see you there!   I'm back with the third pattern hack for the Delvine Bralette. I wanted to create a longline bralette with a more vintage feel, and also add some features that will increase support and coverage.
 My original design idea for the Delvine Bralette was to have a gathered cup. But after I started adding the lace overlay options, there were just too many choices. I decided it would be better to include the gathered cup as a pattern hack. In this quick tutorial video, learn how to change the bust dart into gathers, while still adding a lining with darts for bust support and shaping. If you have any questions, leave me a comment below. Happy Sewing!
