I couldn't produce patterns without all the hard work and dedication from my pattern testers.  I really enjoy seeing their creative choices for my designs, and it is my pleasure to share with you their work.  Here is the tester roundup for the Desiree Bra.

I am so happy to share with you my new pattern, the Desiree Bra!

Happy New Year, dear sewists!  After a short winter holiday, I am back at work.  Today I wanted to share with you a pattern hack for my latest panty pattern, the Tulip Hi-Cut.  While developing this pattern, I had considered a lace back option, but I already had too many varations.  During my holiday, I decided to come back to that idea and try it out as a pattern hack.  I hope you enjoy the following tutorial.  Happy Sewing!

I made myself a bra and realized at the very end that the bridge wasn't wide enough at the bottom. Instead of tossing it (or torturing myself by being squished) I realized I could add more room to the width of the bridge. Separator wire to the rescue! ​

One of the biggest rewards for me in creating lingerie patterns is helping sewists tweak patterns to get the perfect fit for their bodies.  I think many of us turn to sewing our own clothes when we can't find what we want or need in the stores, and sewing at home can be a lonely and sometimes frustrating experience when our projects don't turn out right. 

Over the last couple of years I have created quite a few blog posts for pattern alterations to get the perfect fit in bras/bralettes and panties.  I have a blog category in my sidebar where you can find them all, but with so many now it is a bit cumbersome to scroll through them all.  So, I have created a single page dedicated to the pattern alteration posts, and you can find what you need more easily.  I hope these alterations are helpful for you to get the perfect fit.

If there are any other pattern fitting topics for bras and panties you'd like to see, leave me a comment below.

Until next time, 
Happy Sewing.
